Ya learn something every day.

I may be way behind the curve, but I just found out about THESE !

For $25 - $30, How KEWEL are they ???

Several companies making and distributing them in a variety of neck sizes and pressures.

Tim - Originality doesn't get in MY way!

Originality doesn't get in MY way:

Well yeah Tim, that is understandable but these are a bit antique in the Hi tech world of today I would think.--Keoke- :laugh:

 

[roscoe]

I agree, very cool. Now if they could only make one that read out with a gage on the dash board.....

They DO, they DO ! I think that is where Keoke was going.

Ya know, a guy could bore a hole in the hood and use a magnifying prism to see it from the drivers seat.

In that vein, I have always wondered WHY guys put a fuel pressure guage on their fuel lines and put it UNDER the hood. It is easy to see what the pressure is at an idle, but what is it at speed ?

I fell into that trap too. Here's mine... Under the hood !

I guess it is safer than running a pressurized line with a gauge on the end into the cockpit.

That is sooooo low tech. Antique, I think he called it. To make Keoke happy, I may have to put a low pressure transducer on the fuel line with wires (or maybe WiFi) leading to a scaled d'Arsonval gauge or digital readout on the dash :thumbsup:

Oh, I AM building a real-time digital fuel/air ratio meter that will keep tabs on what my 4 HD-8s are doing. Keoke, that'll be electronic. :laugh:

:lol:
OH I am so glad to hear that Tim, I thought you were going to run four hoses up to the cockpit.----Keoke-- :laugh:

 

[davidb]

d'Arsonval gauges, low pressure transducers, digital fuel/air ratio meters...... Are you guys driving Healeys, or are you working on the next space shuttle? Why do I always feel like I've just fallen off the turnip truck?

Me go now. Paint cow on cave wall.

Cheers

Cottontop, how do your four carbs fit on that manifold and how does your carb linkage work?

TimK, As I'm sure that others are getting sick of hearing about it, send my your Email address in a PM and I'send you the whole story and pics.

I'm building a web page for it, but it h'aint done yet.

Hey Dave,

I love it ! Just be sure to blow a paint silouette of your hand and fingers on the wall too. 5,000 years from now, that'll have'em scratchin' their haids about your self-awareness and your "artistic motovation".

Ya' know, if you paint a flying saucer too, that'll drive'em crazy !

Tim

 

[Keoke]

Are you guys driving Healeys,
NO man them Healeys Be drivin us tryin to figure out what all them bouncin guages tryin to tell us.OH!! and you forgot to mention no contact IR thermal sensors--HUH TIM-- :laugh:


or are you working on the next space shuttle?
I heard they may need to call us back. :hammer:

Why do I always feel like I've just fallen off the turnip truck? I recons how them British fasteners just weren't holdin tight enough ------Keoke---The AZ :cowboy:
