Dooh! I'll be on vacation. At least I'm over the pneumonia. :D

Have fun guys.

have fun. hurry back. looks like the house move is at least a couple of weeks off, so we should be on for the suspension weekend and then petite le mans.

It will be 10am over here in the land of the rising sun, so I will be on duty. Hope you guys have a great meeting. My car's been running pretty good since I got it on the road a couple of weeks ago. However, I do have a bit of an oil leak around the fuel pump. I'm thinking of switching over to a facet electric model. what do you guys think?

i just bought a rotary from CB after some recommendations. haven't run it though, so take it for what it is worth.

Yes, do a elec. fuel pump. That is on my list of things to do. I lost an engine to a fuel pump(mech.). it leaked fuel into the case and thinned the oil, it was very ugly and the tow bill was big.

vujade October 8th 2003 21:24

P.S.
Shep,
I'm using a Facet valve pump on Sue's GL. It works great, has plenty of fuel volume without alot of extra pressure. I still had to get a Holley 12-804 regulator to get the press. down to 2.5psi for the Dell DRLA's.

I mounted it up front and under the car, beside the fuel outlet on the tank because it's easier for a pump to push liquid than it is to pull liquid. It's out of the way of the idler arm and in a pretty protected spot from water and road funk. I had to drill a hole in the drain plug and cut some threads to screw into it a larger outlet for the fuel tank. The original 1/4 inch outlet was way too small.

Yeti...
Thanks for the info. I think I'm going to go with a Facet same as you. Hopefully, I'll be able to install it this weekend. I'll let you know how it turns out. Later, Shepp
