70 Dart Triple Treat Build
Off with the old and on with the new: stock fuel pump couldn't keep up with the 360 past 4500RPM so on goes a Quick Fuel fuel pump rated at 130GPM instead of the stock 25GPM. Also, I have been having electrical issues according to the voltmeter which was bouncing between 12.5 and 13v when running and dropped below 12v when the RPMs went up. Well, I installed the new alternator (old one was 3yrs old and on a truck I mudded with) and had the same issue. Checked with a voltmeter at the battery, read 14.5v but the gauge was bouncing around between 12v and 14v. I found the power stud on the aftermarket fuse panel was extremely loose. That steadied out the volt gauge alot but still doesn't consistently read the correct voltage. More troubleshooting later today...
