Looks like a fun project.

 

looks good!

 

Definitely not a 2 piece shaft. I took it out tonight to look at it because you got me curious. I recall they advertised it as having a billet shaft,.. and it looks like a machined billet shaft. Its all 1 piece from where the cap goes on,.. all they way down to the gear. I had to special order this one for use in the HO motor with a roller cam. The others they list are for the older flat tappet cams which obviously have a different cam gear.

If it blows chunks,.. then I'll just upgrade to a Mallory HEI setup.

nice should pick up some with the carb saw it run at sunshine during the summer sounded sick

 

that exhaust looks fucked up. whoever welded tha shit needs to improve.
blue and siver gt fox's r whores man, the one i had went through almost half my buddies b4 i had it, kinda like my last gf, lmao. lookin good, but for fucks sake, fix the exhaust

 

The exhaust will get changed. And it is fucked up looking. Its got 2.5" pipe coming off the collectors with a few bends in it and not very good mandrel bends either,. then they go into 3" inlet/outlet Bullet mufflers. No cross over pipe or anything,.. just straight pipes. And the welds on the mufflers looks like who ever did it was stoned or drunk.

Its functional for now and not exactly a priority. After I get motor, wiring and fuel system sorted out I will redo the exhaust. I plan to run 3" pipe with an H cross over. With 3" Bullet mufflers its not like its going to get any quieter.

im happy ur not gonna leave that mess someone called and exhaust system.

 

I thought that car looked familiar. Looks like a good project...GL

 

I finished the fuel pump today. Got it wired up. I've rigged it to a toggle switch and for now its located next to the fan switch where the stereo used to be. Going to get a panel soon to clean up the interior. All in due time. I set the pump up with a plug in style wire so if I go anywhere I can unplug it,.. should anyone try to steal the car,.. unless they know about the pump and how I ran the wires they wont get very far.

I also started to clean up some of the wires and the loose and unbolted items in the engine bay. Will tackle most of that tomorrow. I'll get some more pics up tomorrow as well. Fuel pump flows pretty good. Its a 140 GPH Summit brand pump. Had a made in China stamped on the bottom plate. After I modified the fuel hat,.. I tested it and hooked up some 3/8 fuel line to it. Running 3/8 fuel line as a pick up tube,.. and then all the way up to the regulator and dead headed it at the carb. Pump is pretty damn loud too. I held out the hose to test it and it shot fuel over my brothers van and almost out to the street,.. LoL I didnt expect it to be as agressive.


Anyway,.. now with a fuel pump that stays on I went to tweaking the carb some more. Reset the idle jets and purs like a lion now. I'll get a quick vid up of it as well. Much smoother idle then before with the EFI.

I'm using a shitty Cobra-R style hood for now that doesnt fit right. I'm going to use hood pins to secure it because I dont trust it to stay down. Thinking about cutting a hole in the stock hood and using a hood scoop to give the clearance I need for the carb. Sort of an old school look. Most of the younger guys probably wont like it. But old farts like me will probably dig it.

Thats all for now.
