So, just got back from the Hot Rod Drags. After some initial sodding about I have a solid 6psi fuel pressure at all times, spot on. And what did all this gain me? Zip, zilch, nada. In fact it was a tenth and 2mph slower than last time out, this might have been due to the weather but I was expecting ...

Not only that it’s not especially noisy, possibly down to not having metal fuel lines perhaps? Tried to add a video but it won’t have it…

Last couple of bits finally arrived so that’s it done. I’ve got pressure, and it doesn’t seem to leak so that should do me for the foreseeable.

That’s the way I would have preferred to go, virtually silent. Would have come in at close to 2000 bucks when I looked into it, no thanks.

I’m sure it’ll be plenty loud Stu, one of the reasons I didn’t go electric sooner. There’s just no space to rubber mount it but if previously experience with rubber mounted Holley pumps is anything to go by it wouldn’t make much difference anyway. Given the constraints I’ve got to work with it’s the ...

Gained myself a little more space by moving the brake line from the rear of the axle to the top, I’ll remake the line to make a neater job of it over the winter. I cut the piston shields off the shocks as well while I was at it.

Pump to regulator line is in, I’ll get some heat sleeve for the section that runs across the engine. Just tank to pump to do now and that’ll be a wrap.

Turbo diesel next week?

From a cost point of view if you need more flow you are better off going for Trick flows. At around 300 CFM they are currently the best flowing “bolt on” heads available although you do need custom pushrods due to the longer valves but they do retain the standard pushrod location. Unless you can ...

I got warned by a top end Marshall last time out that my bonnet was lifting a worrying amount, so I’ve reluctantly fitted hood pins. The correct Mopar style of course…

As a bit of a nod to Grumpy Jenkins who used to paint his fuel tanks white to reflect heat from the tarmac…

Blocked the fuel feed on the new sender unit and fitted a proper earth.

Productive day today, quick mock up to see If I can figure out how to run that fuel line forward. I don’t like sharp bends as they are real flow killers but space restraints mean I’ll have to come out of the pump with a 120 degree fitting, I’ll at least use the ultra flow version.

Ok you have second dibs!

Paid a visit to Grace at Brooklands Today and had my sump and fuel pump mount tigged to my tank. Glad I didn’t try to MIG it myself, it didn’t weld easily due to the galvanising on the inside.
