we had the fuel pressure of by 1/2 lbs. When we cleaned them out sunday we put just enough fuel in the carbs to do a test run. I did the same thing today, bumped it up and fixed the problem. :dance: Its weird though before I had the Kadrons it would be kinda difficult to shift but every time the kadrons work well it seems to shift very smooth. Weird. I saw a car on craigslist that looked exactly like James in Long beach. Same setup and everything. :wow: Did you ever hear back from him?

Huh, strange, I thought we had the fuel pressure cranked up to like 4.5 on the dial. Maybe it got bumped when we were mounting it and messing around back there.

James emailed me today, he's going to Glamis this weekend, so he won't be joining us if we work on the cars.
It's supposed to rain all weekend! :furious:

I'd definitely get rid of the FPR with the dial on it. I ran it for a while and it SUCKED! It would completely shut off the flow of gas every once in a while, and the pressure on the dial is nowhere near the actual pressure.

Remember that Brian?
