What happened Martin, did that Trumpvid-19 virus infect your brain???

Those are some nice looking FB's!

I'd love to get more parts but with the LE in show room condition and a shed full of spare parts it's best I let other more worthy OGTA's have a shot.

Why don't you make a list of what you'd like to see gone, post here for the OGTA's.

Pics and prices would be a bonus!

Tommy, an LP is an analog format. From back when everything was real.

Listen to Jimi Hendrix play the National Anthem on an LP for an example (turn up loud).


Now that's Real.

Nowadays everything is digitized and Fake.

Take Donald Trump for example, a Fake digitized lying machine:


New Fake News every day!

I traveled out today, first time in three weeks.

Looks like a Recession out there, people in masks, lines at stores.

My mission was getting gas at Kroger.

I bought 35 gallons for $29.

He got a facelift! Big improvement, he's much more convincing now.

Hey, any of you guys got some Rotary Content to post?

If not I'll take some pics of the drilled and slotted rotors on the LE.

Yeah that's pretty much how I do it.

It's a good way to get cheap gas.

Be careful Ray, a lot of pumps cut you off at 50 gallons.

Wanna tack a crack at why I go through so many fuel pumps???

Been through maybe 5 in 5 years. Its so easy to change them and they are so cheap that I just end up tossing another one in and never address the problem.

I have a POR15'd tank (its VERY clean.

I have a 3/8" return line welded into the top (no blockage)

I have a standard fuel filter (little plastic guy) I change it every time I toss in a new pump, but the fuel filter is always clean as a whistle.

I run an MSD 2225 pump in the stock location.

I run a Mallory 4309 regulator set at a Nikki approved 2.5 PSI.


I do plan on giving this little fuel pump a bit extra amperage. I'm actually going to address the issue this time and run a dedicated power wire and a relay. BUt if anybody knows something I don't...….

The regulator is stressing the pumps?

I've always left my fuel delivery systems stock.

Clean filter in the stock position and the standard pump, all tested according to the FSM.

And ABSOLUTELY NO CONTRAPTIONS plumbed in under the hood!

Cut hoses and clamps under the hood are an invitation for a serious engine fire.

In twenty years and a million miles driving FB's I've never had a fuel pump die on me.

Or a fire under the hood.
