It looks to be working out for you. I am glad, was afraid I steered you wrong there for a while.

Eric, I may have one but I would have to look. If I have one, it may need rechroming...

Yes, that would be on the high end in the US.

I agree with FastWoman. How many tanks of fuel have you run through it? It may still be water and bad gas. Keep running fuel through it. Sites suggestion is also good if it keeps doing it. Verify your fuel pressure is consistent.

Granny I believe those are for holding down the car jack. I think...

A video of what its doing might help the communication too.

Well at least Coke goes better with yogurt.

Thanks for the good pictures. I thought the light brackets would come out like that. Much easier than having to work around them. So the vertical with the slots is Aluminum? Is the all thread stainless or Zinc?

Siteunseen, I was in Northern tool the other day and they had a lot of blast media. The had crushed glass no free silica for like $11 for 40 or 50 lbs. Would cut a little faster than beads but not quite as smooth. They also had "Black Diamond" which I believe is coal slag.

Very good. Glad you figured it out.

I was highly motivated at the time. It was the thing of it can blow up or not but I need to go faster. I was young and dumb, fortunate to be alive. Sort of like all of Site's reconstructions.

Excellent

I made myself sick welding on a late model truck one time. Between the zinc and left over paint burning, I felt ill for weeks. Respirator under the hood would have been advisable

That depends on whether my speedometer was accurate that time I was running flat out. I got above 120mph for a while...

Very good. Like Zed said verify the ports not all of them plumb the same way.

There, that's it. That was exactly what I was thinking of doing! Well done! What did you fab your vertical bars out of, Aluminum?

Werup, That looks great. Very well done

That's funny. I would love to know what the VW had under the hood.

Was there a problem running at 3 psi? I don't totally understand how your fuel is plumbed. I would start with the old fuel pump if that's easy. See what you get. Replace the regulator and see what you get. If it showed pressure before with the old setup then one of the items you changed broke it. Does it run at 0 psi?

I think Grannyknot was suggesting using the seam sealer to hold the metal channel in place sorta like glue to usher the water to the back of the car.

Still it looks great. Thanks

That's a good guess. That would change the throttle linkage position as the motor rocks.

lumens Did a powder coater do that for you?

I do it the same way. Load leveler makes all the difference. My load leveler has a nut I welded on the front so I can adjust it with an impact gun. Much easier than turning the crank by hand.

I totally understand about the wife part. Glad you're doing ok. You would need a good frame man to pull the chassis straight. It would probably cost more than its worth.
