Parts are on the table right now but I am thinking I will need a high pressure pump to make a better mist.

While it's on the table, can you jury rig a set up to see how long it takes to pump a quart of water through the two .010's. That would give the gallons per hour you're running which appears to be close to the mark. Also, if you have a way to do it, could you check the pressure output of your current pump.

I think the higher pressure pump, run through a regulator would be a good idea. There are low volume, high pressure 12V pumps out there that are used in agricultural sprayers, but they run in the $80 range. The in tank fuel pumps currently being used may also be a possibility if they don't use materials that would have a problem with water. Volume of water will increase along with pressure. I think the bogging points going to be the distribution tube in the spacer. I think it's always going to convert the fog from the .010's back into a liquid (lack of expansion room). You might be able to verify that by bench testing it while it's off car.

This post wasn't dead, just on hold.

I been pretty busy here last couple days (and nights). We just finished building the 434 stroker I was posting on a while back with the "soup bowl" pistons. We couldn't get a proper quench and was running 6lbs boost on pump gas with 9.0:1 CR. We ordered a water injection kit for it. (And one for mine too.)

The kit I was originally working on made a believer out of me. I scrapped the project sort of because it was getting too deep and for the money, it was already in existance. I will most likely simplify it again and put it back on something as it does work to control detonation.

Well, for the blower engines, we ordered a kit that was complete with a 150psi pump and a variable controller. This kit is cheap insurance for a blower motor. We got it installed on the 434 and so far, it's great. The kit is simple and tuning is straigt forward. We don't have a lot of run time yet. Still working the bugs out the whole unit and fine tuning. I found the engine to run best at 35 degrees total timing. The BTM is on 0* retard and there is no detonation at any engine speed w/6-7lbs boost on straight pump gas. I will be installing mine here soon and raising my boost to 10lbs. I am currently running 6lbs w/32 degrees timing and my BTM set a 1* retard per 1lb boost. I don't have any detonation issues but I also have proper quench area.

Thanks for the link, Ray. Looks like a good system. Had to bookmark that one for the future!!!! BDS has a great looking new blower manifold for the Big Block Fords, up to a 10 71 blower!!!!

wish I had of had that about 20 yrs. ago
