    Double check that you have no slippage by trying to accelerate hard in a high gear from a low rpm. It is possible to end up in a situation where the clutch doesn't fully engage (ie get full pressure)
  3. I guess most of my question was just based on the impression that Sean(?) makes some very nice exhaust parts. I don't necessarily consider it a move backwards, but was looking for the impetus
  4. Why did you go back to the stock manifold?
  5. Happy Birthday @Zup
  6. Very few experts still alive for these AFM's. Stick with it and these guys will help you get it sorted. Even some of the refurb'd AFM's run rich. Your problem is solvable. Just need to have confidence in the test results. Confirming your gauge is good is probably a good move.
  7. You could drain some fuel out of the tank and see if it is overly red
  8. I hate to add a cook to the kitchen but is it possible the fuel rail has an internal restriction? I don't remember the vehicle history, but if there were a restriction near the return port that would keep fuel pressure high through all these test. Varnish, rust, contaminant...

    It's back https://www.copart.com/lot/30378089 74 in Detroit https://www.copart.com/lot/31371779 78 in Albuquerque https://www.copart.com/lot/32148619 77 in Reno https://www.copart.com/lot/30360899
  10. That looks good. A very hard part to duplicate. Imagine what repops would cost if they were available?

    I bet you can feel that!
  12. Yeah, I was going to play along. I suspected you were too low.
  13. You could loosen the bushings bolts on the front control arms and see if it will settle some and then retorque them.

    That's a big improvement!! Be sure and update in a year or so on how it's holding up.
  15. Has the car been moved enough to settle the suspension? When you first set them down they tend to sit like this
  16. I might have a used one but would have to look
  17. Zed is correct, only one inlet
  18. I have a NOS 22670-F5101 sitting in front of me if you are interested. I believe it is what you are looking for but confirm that

    I thought I would send you the entire unit to pirate at your leisure

    Is one of these the right antenna? Is this the piece showing through? It's in the antenna 3rd from the right I didn't want to break it down further than that
  21. @Home Built by Jeff I have to tell you something funny. My wife was waiting on me to get ready for bed last night. It was late and she could here me bumping around in the kitchen. She told me "then I heard that Australian guy and I quit waiting" I was watching your video!
  22. I agree that bead blasting and pressure blasting are more aggressive but we were ok with a little courser finish. We sealed the case with a clear sealer after blasting. Plus it's likely to end up grimey eventually because the car will be driven often.
  23. I'm sort of with Zed on this one. If it ain't broke; don't break it. I would run the heavier weight oil and save up for parts. That is unless there is some risk of being ticketed for some kind of violation. Otherwise I would just run it.
  24. Sand blasting pressure pot. 90 pound pressure pot.

    I have never understood that!!! I don't want to trade. Just sell for cash and buy what you want. Just never made sense to me
