Syncro Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Its easier to get the tires spinning with an open diff though. Quote Link to comment
Woody620 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Kind of. It's easier to get one tire spinning with open. :D Although For an open, it'll get both back tires spinning pretty good. Quote Link to comment

Woody620 Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 car cuts and bogs like crazy and im really carb clueless. plus there's almost no brakes, everything is new, no leaks, when I bled it I get no air, and yes I bench bled it.Yea, I left because I was just sick of having problems with the car, the whole first day the alternator was dead, Matt panic hooked it up on someone who had one, then just said f*** it with the above problems I was having and went out. 2nd lap out I was hitting the back sweeper, went to throw a clutch kick at the end where it tightens up and the engine bogged instead, straightened the car out and the lack of brakes made me go off almost into the bushes and I snapped my front lca in the process.

Woody620 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 The fuel cell I put in. Rear fuel plumbing front fuel hardlines first fill up. Welded my diff. fixed my crankshaft pulley. switch panel. broken s-chassis' at parc. damnit. so much for a grade 8 bolt. Quote Link to comment
Syncro Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 is it still bogging? Quote Link to comment
Woody620 Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 yep. not sure why. Quote Link to comment
Syncro Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 You have a return line running to the tank? Try running a fuel regulator and a fuel psi gauge. I'm using a Mallory regulator on my fireturd and running 6psi of fuel which is basically as high as I could get it to go. Car has a 4barrel vortec v8. Quote Link to comment
Woody620 Posted September 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 I haven't really messed with it much since I got it home. I was wondering if pressure could be a factor, I was going to see if I could borrow some hose pliers from someone maybe and just pinch the return line and see if it changes anything. if fuel pressure is the issue, then that would tell me pretty quick. Another friend said the float bowls could be an issue but in my previous video it was idling just after waiting for a bit after start up and I haven't messed with the carbs since then. I'm assuming they still need to be rejetted for my 2.8 and even maybe a bit bigger than that for my n42 head, but I don't know crap about rejetting. Quote Link to comment
Syncro Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 maybe, the things is if you didn't have a return line the pump could end up building so much pressure its backing up on itself, thats why I'd suggest a regulator and a fuel gauge, lets you see the pressure you want and when it bags it'll let you know whats happening pressure wise.

Woody620 Posted September 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 I definitely have a return line, and the stock "regulator" (that piece if metal with the little hole in it). but I've also deleted the electric pump that was back by the tank so that's why I was thinking lack of fuel pressure. And when it was running better it was the gas can on the hood so less distance and gravity helping flow and making higher return resistance. Quote Link to comment
Woody620 Posted September 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 It's just a theory. ^ Quote Link to comment
Woody620 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 kind of random, but anyone have any thought on this? should I take it off or leave it? Quote Link to comment
