Hey! It's a start, ain't it?
And that's 6.8 CONTINUOUSLY driven miles,
not 7 ea one mile hood hops.
Yesterday, I renovated an old Canada mechanical fuel
pump donated by a fellow BCF member. I removed the
problematic, very low psi mechanical pump and installed
this oldie but cleaned up Canada pump.
Tested at 3.0 psi fuel pressure (constant)and 16 inches of
mercury vacuum from the carbs. So I reconnected everything,
balanced the cleaned carbs, reset the timing, installed the
air filters, reset the warm idle, checked the new plugs one
last time and headed out. (cellular in pocket)
1 mile in the hood at 25 mph - 3000 rpm max.
2 mi r/t to the poison gas station - 50 mph max
Crypt Car engine feeling strong so..............
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Enter the "white Knuckle Zone"- expressway in PR!!
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
1.9 miles on the expressway at 50 mph- 4 ways blinking.
Cars honking at me, semis running up my butt, dirty looks
from old lady drivers.
1.9 miles return trip on the expressway- foot in it- hit 75 mph.
Back in the home garage, nice steady idle at 800 rpm.
Wish I'd been born French.
Scots don't have enough brains to know when we're beaten and quit;
particularly us thick skulled clan Fraser folks. Eh, Nick??
