Some progress! Drivetrain buttoned up and now runs, drives and stops! Still a lot of tidying up to do on engine bay and as you can see from the photographs, fuel system isn't complete as there is some metal/bodywork to do around the filler area, and I still need to wire the fuel pump and find a new ignition relay. Anyway, moved the car under its own power yesterday for the first time in almost 2 years and she sounds good! She's now in the bodyshop and will be there for the next approximately 6 weeks for body and exterior paint. After that, going to a shop in Sacramento for a few button up items that I don't feel confident to tackle myself, with the hope of being on the road by end of the Summer!

In the 2 or 3 I've done so far, the amount of suction is spectabulus (yes I invented a word, no beer involved) so there is no problem with getting fuel from tank with an air filled line. Only time will tell about real world performance and life. The only thing I screwed up was getting the check valves in the right way the first time. And maybe the second....

I got a kick out of this. I think his media portrayal is dead on.

I use lacquer thinner to clean up excess. Sometimes I will mask off the area first so there is less to clean up. Also you can use lacquer thinner on your finger to make it easier to smooth out the seam sealer

Get a bulb seal. No clips needed.

Glad it arrived safely Nils, and you are happy with it. SteveE, will pm you shortly....

Yes... 2% of the hole. Considering the hole (nozzle) to be 0.100 inches diameter, the "whole hole" area would be 0.00785 square inches. The difference in the amount of the hole open for fuel flow is 2% larger using a .094 obstruction as opposed to a .095 diameter obstruction. As far what the direct impact is on richness, I don't know. I doubt it's a simple calculation and don't know if it could be modeled easily. In other words, the area calculations are easy... The exact IMPACT on the bottom line (mixture ratio) is beyond my pay grade.

Now you're just talkin' dirty ?
