Ok, so let me get this straight, I have used these exact products for decades, not dead yet! But since someone used them in an enclosed space we need to ban them???? If you use gasoline in an enclosed space that can kill you too. We gonna ban gasoline? How about Nitrogen? If you get in an enclosed space with Nitrogen you will be dead in seconds! Part of the problem is we have tried to make everything so safe that people don't critically analyze risk any more. They just assume if they can buy it, it's safe! They rely on the government to keep them safe. They would be better off to put their faith some place else... It is a shame that these relatively young people are gone, but you can't make everything perfectly safe! The number of people hurt by these kinds of products are infinitesimally small. The stories they sighted are 28 years apart! How about we focus on some things that does kill vast numbers of people, opiods, heroine, DUI, texting while driving, etc. I guess I need to go buy a couple of gallons of airplane stripper in case they change their minds

What is actually causing the scratches on the the shock tower?

Run the flow test out of the FSM! If it fails, then eliminate the throttle points one by one...

I don't know about Jim but I'm cheap!

@zKars Thanks Jim! I need to come see your shop...

Maybe a video would help???

Who cruises at 5,000 rpm's? Pressure and flow are different!!!!! Pressure is not the issue!!!! The water going over Niagara falls has low pressure but lot's of flow... If you are running out of fuel it's a flow issue not pressure!

I would like to source a Datsun 510 fuel rail for dual SU's. Let me know what you've got... Thanks, Charles

That's quick. Should be lots of fun...

Is that a cometics head gasket? Does that first cam journal look rough or that just my eyes?

Good eye ZH!!!

The E88 also looks like it might have been cut. The casting numbers are pretty close to the edge. Some measurements would be in order there too. Also are the cam towers shimmed on that head?

Solve??? You mean start don't you...

I was gonna get a set of "Float Sync" tools but they're sold out. What is the thread size on the float bowls? I am planning on cobbling something up...

That's a pretty well executed convertible

I bet that makes a Miata really fast!

What numbers are you picking? So I can play along...

I thought you might be running pretty aggressive rates based on the other aspects of the build. I also considered increased camber to get inside but I really don't like that solution for a number of reasons. Having the roller around definitely helps...

It's gonna have to be awful stiff not to rub the tire. Doesn't look like they would be easy to roll either because of the way the fender is made. Might look sharp if some all metal flairs could be made that basically shift the wide flat wheel arch out an 1" or so. Some one good with an english wheel could probably roll them out...

Cliff! That's bad...

I have found that the fuel pump valves in the pump can stick and prevent the pump from pumping

Some paint stripper and some carb cleaner and it might clean up. Carb cleaner will take off most un-catalysed paints. Bead blast after that, if you can, and pretend it never happened...

So I do have the manifolds heating but I have the port coming out from under the thermostat blocked off

That's on the underside of the carb. I will have to look again. I expected it to be on top like the 46mm carbs

Yeah I have noticed ramflo's aren't as common but I like the look. I just don't know which style is correct for the 38mm carbs. One of the problems with looping the hose is the hard line was too long to connect to manifold, so I cut it back before I replated it. So that tee is now gone. I guess the real question is do I need that flow out from under the thermostat into this line?
