Did a little tidying-up around the house today. Whilst moving stuff around to sweep up yard debris the gardener always manages to blow into the carport, I found one of my spare '6' engines had decided to take a leak (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ... Started Hazmat cleanup procedures before my wife caught wind of it.
Smart & Final's degreaser works pretty good, but I'll need to go over it a couple more times (IMG:style_emoticons/default/FERG.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Also, ran across an old A/C condenser unit. Took it apart, cleaned up everything and reassembled it. As soon as I find the under dash unit, they'll both show up in the classifieds) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

I drove 300 miles each way to my engine builders and spent the day tuning the carbs on his dyno Jet...

my little tiny race car was dwarfed by the rousch mustang Street car that was on the machine ahead of me...

I watched it pull 786 At the rear wheels...
kinda a let down to put the race car on the machine after that!

Been testing the fit of my Gotti wheels. Pretty soon will be running 9" and 11" slicks, probably Avons in soft compound....

Looks like I need some new flares. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Or some kind of aluminum extension.

Hi guys,

(1975 914 1.8L)

Well saturday is not a good day for my teen, went to our church for some work day with my fellow men's ministry and upon leaving our church compound after 5 to 8 minutes engine running idle in the park area, I smell some burning which at 1st I thought it was from the church neighbor who is barbequing and I suddenly noticed a smoke coming out from the hood vent just below the wiper arm. So immediately turned off the engine and remove my battery cable. Check some wiring beneath the dash board and did'nt see any electrical problem, remove the wiring for the clock and stereo which is attached directly to the fuses. So did try starting the engine again and after 2 to 3 minutes running, smoke again coming out on the same area. Did try to smell the area of the fuel tank and did smell the smoke from the fuel tank area. I ended up calling AAA to tow my teen which is about 25 minutes drive to my house.

Now I have some questions, Is there any other electrical beneath the fuel tank beside the fuel pump? For now I only suspected fuel pump problem. Before this happened, I noticed last week there are times that after turning off the engine, totally key off from the ignition, the fuel pump still running and fuel are continues running on the fuel lines on the engine bay (Fuel injection lines). Is there also a problem with my ignition electrical or fuel pump is the problem already?

But with this, I still thank God for this did not happened on a freeway that will require me to run the car a longer time to find a place to stop that might make it more worse.


Thanks and God Bless!

Noel

It took my son and I about 8 hours to put it together. It does get you off of your knees and back. But it does have it's challenges too. I have jack trays so I can put my Vette on stands to change tires and brake pads for the track.

We had to take the engine mount bar and the right side sheet metal off to get the engine to fit through the rails but it worked.

Trans out. The rear seal was definitely leaking. It was a brand new Elring with only 600+/- miles on it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
New seal fits tighter on the flywheel and should cure the problem.

Replaced the torn passenger-side vent glass seal. Scraped off the PO's after-market tint film while the glass was out.

Also, the mail man delivered my new custom-built breather box (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

I had a leaky Elring rear seal also and it was just a few weeks old! Changed it with a different brand and all is well. Is there something going on here?

Is that box for a carbs set-up? (i've been researching threads on breather box set ups, most are for carb set ups and have wondered if a stock F.I. set up would benefit from such a situation)

I had both, Victor Reinz and Elring seals on the shelf here, was told the Elring was better so that's what we originally installed. The new Elring seems to have a tighter grip around the yoke on the flywheel than the one we removed, so we'll see how it works out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Trial-fit the seal on the flywheel before installation. I also replaced the graphite-coated O-ring in the flywheel.



Yes Doug, Samba. The guy's name is Travis. I had him construct the box with both, 1/8" perf and solid plate drain-back baffling. The box looks good - the welds are real nice.



Phil, it all depends on how much CCP you've got. Stock pressures may not require a remote box, but they can be use with either carbs or FI.

Welded in Autopower roll cage, installed repainted fuel tank. Ready for track in two more weeks !!

OH MY GOD! WHY WOULD ANYONE WELD IN A CAGE????

Have you ever seen a bridge that was welded??

Have you ever seen amn aircraft part that was welded?

Plate mounts on both sides are 20 times stronger if they are properly installed and torqued.
