    Just started the 32

     



    Since I quit today. I came home and worked on the 32.

    Just started the 32. The three deuces are touchy, alot of learning is in order.
    Trying to run in the headers and tune the engine before I
    send the highboy headers out to get Jet Hotted.
    The electric fan sure does grag alot of amps. You can tell
    when it starts. It actually drags the engine down a bit.
    Wwwhhhheeeyou it made alot of smoke until it
    all burned off.
    Thought I was going to black out for a minute, but alas
    no such luck.
    I see I have to change my fuel pump for more pressure. Barely
    reads on my mooneyes gauge 1 lbs. Not good.
    Well off to the Glass man.

    Learning must be difficult for those who already know it all!!!!

    Hey Rocknrod. How much cam duration are you running? Bet you found it will have to get up on the cam before you can pick up those other two carbs. Those three two's give the car personality! Enjoy your new ride. Should be great one!
