Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project
I know it's addictive. I watch all you guys play with your setups. lol.
But I must restrain it to a degree. This car takes me to work, so it needs to... well - work. Once i start my new job, I will probably have the funds to buy a commuter car and get some serious play time in with the Dart, but for now... 8 psi, 10 may be my limit for a while.
I got the "manifold" finished. I had an attitude of "leak free" so once I checked all the welds, blew air through the pipes and sealed off the ends, the only place air ultimately escaped was through the seals on the ends I made after a LOT of pressure. I stil lwasn't satisfied, put some high temp JB on top of the welds, and then wrapped the whole thing when it was dry to try and contain heat near the carb and it looks a lot better when you cover up my "professional welding."
I also received my fuel system in the mail too, so I got the Walbro 255 pump, and a nice looking fuel pressure regulator. I did not expect the reg to come with all these AN fittings, but it looks nice, and there were 3 lengths of braided line included. Not a bad deal. It was $75.00 shipped off ebay. Finding it took forever as it was randomly listed as "ChEVY 350 REGULATOR BOOST" or something like that.
Everything in the box came with it, and it looks pretty robust. I'll take it apart and make sure all is well. To me it looks EXACTLY like an Aeromotive regulator... it may as well be one from the outside. inside will tell. I got 30 days to send it back if the inside doesn't look right. If the diaphragm and all is well, I'll run it, and see what happens. It is adjustable, has a return (which I am using) and looks the part.
This was the ad if anyone's interested, and if anyone else is copying, er... utilizing my build information. lol.
