Thanks for the concerns Bill !!! Got an Order placed with Speedway Motors for some waterproof connectors to get all the RMD wiring taken care of,plus I need to do some fitting of the matching Dash pieces.I think once I quit taking those one step forward,two steps back I may just accomplish something !!Also trying to decide between Mechanical or Electric Fuel Pump.:banghead:
Electric pumps have proved to be problematic for me.
The only reason I run one on either car is because of boost. I think they are better able to handle the demands of a 500 horsepower engine that needs enough line pressure to overcome 20+ pounds of turbo or supercharger-generated boost, than a mechanical one. That's not based on experiencee; just my opinion.
I don't trust electric pumps to give uninterrupted, reliable service in a race-car environment, much less on the street. I'd never run one on a normally-aspirated car.
I have gone through two Holley Black pumps and am currently trying a Blue one on my '72 car. Luckily, when I put the fuel system together on that car, I built it with TWO complete, separate, fuel systems, each with its own pump. When one oump quits, I flip two toggle switches and turn a few valve control levers and I'm back in business with a different pump.
Here's a couple of pictutes of some of the system: The second pump is under the floor and uses the stock tank, but either pump can draw from either source.
Ideally, I keep high-octane av gas in the cell, pump gas in the tank. I drive the 60-miles to the strip on pump gas and switch over when I get there and want to race. When I'm done racing, I drive home on the pump gas, again.
