They are made out of unobtainium which comes from some part of Iraq. This is the real reason Bush made war with Iraq, to get the last of the unobtainium on Earth!
Ray Greenwood is trying to have some made on the STF. I don't know where Beck Industries gets theirs. I buy good MPS to get their diaphrams and calibrate them for 037's and 043's when I can. Warranty, hmm...I live test everyone I build. Geoff |

Geoff,
do you have any contact info for Beck? Do you have 1 for sale? Jay at Part Werks said he sells rebuilds. He wasnt sure if the diaphrams are replaced are not. Or if they are calibrated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

Give them to Kevin Powers as I can't go, too busy with work lately. (for once)
Geoff Don't worry I'll call your ass a million times before the event. I get alot of requests for 2.0L MPS's that WORK and are set up right. |

Geoff,
One of these days, if you have time, I would like you to put my rebuilt MPS on the Wavetek to see what it's doing. Just to see if it's within specs. If you remember, my MPS is an 037 unit with screws instead of rivets, car is a '75. Epoxy plug is still intact. I pulled 20" of vacuum on it and it held for 20 minutes, so the diaphram is in good shape. |

Probably set too rich if its 037 is my guess, because you have the orginal ECU too. Way better than too lean.

Yeah, if its a Beck job it is set up for a 1.7L which is too lean. They use funny diaphrams and steel cells too. They also paint them bright silver.

Are there any other tell-tale signs of a Bret rebuild? Mine is not bright silver...but it could have been at one time I guess.

Brett puts a Brett Instruments sticker on it when they rebuild them, but that could be long gone too.....

That looks like epoxy being used to keep that screw from backing out? Mine has what looks like a dollop of paint holding the smaller screws in. I do have the epoxy over the adjustment plug.
