**73 Scamp Mini Pro-Street Engine Swap**
Ok messed around with the Scamp today. I finally figured out my FP Problem. The rear float was filled with fuel screwing everything up. I had another carb here that I just fully rebuilt with new everything so while I was waiting for the NEW Jet Extensions Floats & Needle and Seats to show up I just swapped out the front and rear bowls and added the Jet Extensions. When the new stuff gets here, I will just fix up the spare on the bench with the parts. I also switched out to a NON Liquid filled gauge. The Fuel Pressure is ROCK Stable at 6.25 PSI. I drove the car around for at least 1 1/2 Hours today checking the FP a few times and then again when I got back. Still Rock Steady at 6.25 PSI! Even with the engine at Operating temp. I finally got it whipped! I also took out the restrictor that I had put in the return line fitting before I started wrenching on it.
Ok so I am out and about went to the Gas station and filled up. So while I am there I figure shoot may as well turn on the bottle. I of course filled up the Lil Cell with VP 110 before I left…… Lol! I also put in another chip in the second retard so I am taking out a total of 7* of timing on the hit. So I am rolling in 2nd gear and I purge it good a few times, I am right at 3200 Rpm, I stand on it and hit the button at the same time going probably about 40 mph, The front end instantly topped out and just a bit later the Shift light comes on, I had it set at 6K then I grab 3rd. The car hauls *** without the juice and feels like it is going to take flight on it! It ran flawless, no hiccup, spit sputter or anything it was super clean. I am impressed is all I can say. I rolled out and did it again. Nothing like blowing the tires off in 3rd at 90 Mph!
Caltracs need some tuning cause the car goes left a bit. No worries just keep your foot to the floor and all will be OK! haaaaaa :burnout:
