Wink My Cup Runneth Over

Unpacking the P/S Bird to finally finish the garage and lookie what I found. The new plan is to run a single Mallory Comp110 to each float bowl and the Comp140 will feed the 250 shot nitrous....

And then it stranded you....you are the only person in America that I know of that has had a failure....why would you replace the first one if they are field rebuildable? Doesn't make sense...

Actually, you're prolly right...they have to be mounted straight up and down.

No one had a rebuild kit for it and it was a motor failure, not o-ring or gaskets. Needed another pump to get to work so back to Supershops and bought round 2.

Gas tank was clean and fuel filter replaced once a year.

It now makes a good weight to hold the tarp down on my outdoor cabinet. No kidding! To each their own, may the Mallorys work well for you mar3.

Good GAWD I can hardly keep quiet!

...oh what, Mario- You did'nt think I would hop on the ole' "Mallory" train?

- And for more Mallory praise by Mario, you can read any of the following links. (You'd be suprised at the variety of different parts of your Rx-7 that apparently can be made to work better with a Mallory fuel pump!)

I'm surprised you didn't take me to task for wanting to use all three on the same car....I mean a Comp110 for EACH float bowl?

Anyhoos, the one new Comp110 will go into the '83...should be worth a 75 HP gain...
