Fuel Pressure
I will make sure to set the fuel pressure while the car is running. I swapped out the Holley blue, and replaced it with a black pump yesterday. Much more consistant. Now the nitrous engages with the microswitch right when I floor it.
I am going to replumb a few more things on the fuel end. I see that the nitrous fuel dead-heads at the fuel gauge. I drive the car on the street a bit, and am going to "t" a smaller braided line from the regulator, to the other side of the primary bowl on the carb. This should take care of any lack of fuel on the big end on the nitrous, and keep the fuel on the nitrous side fresh.
Probably overkill, but what the heck.
Then I can do a little carb tuning, hopefully get it to the scale, and then the track to see how it does or doesn't go.
Thanks again.
