ouch! This is supposed to be a SUPPORTIVE atmosphere, Patrick.

 

i will still have the exhaust leak at the meet :sigh: but as far as i know will still be attending. i hate making lists of people who are coming. hopefully there will be a few coming that havent spoken up. what about that guy in NC?

 

errrrrrrrr, call it constructive criticism then. I just believe threaded holes that provide structural rigidity and support should probably be filled. Most likely with a nut or bolt designed to support said force. But hey I'm preaching to the choir on that one.

Me and FBII might be coming down in my turbo 12a. Not for sure, waiting on Zac to lmk

 

awesome, ive never seen a turbo FB, looking forward to it!

 

Well, for the past 3-4 days, Ive been smelling fuel when I start the 7 up in the morning. When its warmed up I dont smell fuel. Its only in the morning.

This morning I finally checked it out, and I can see and smell where the fuel leak is,
I think it leaks when the fuel hose is cold, it dosent leak when its warmed up.

The thing is when I fixed my other fuel-leak I decided to tighten some other fuel-hose-clamps, so that might be the prob. tightened a clamp one to many turns.

This is the short fuel-hose right/directly under the intake manifold.

And... My alternator is going bad, it makes a squealing/short-grinding noise on start-up. And if I have any accessories (head-lights) on, it screws-up my idle and sometimes the alt. squeals.

My brother is bringing me an alternator. And im thinking im just gona run on the leaking fuel hose. Unless everybody convinces me other-wize.

Later.

 

leaking fuel on a hot engine- i know its spark that causes fuel to burn, but why chance it to prove me wrong?

 

Can't you just go to a local auto parts store and get the length of hose you need?

 

make sur to get fuel hose. if you get vaccum hose the fuel will just eat through it.

got my lightweight flywheel today. what kinda clutch do you think i should get? the flywheel is an 8.5 pound bonez!!

 

Ok after we get back from the montains I will be cooking some hamburgers and stuff like that so everyone is more than wellcome to come and hang out at my house.

 

Ya man just swap that out and fix it, you can get it back together by tomorrow, better safe tahn sorry

 

dam!!! somebody somebody make sure to record the turbo fb for me please...!!!!

 

Preston - will record the FB turbo for ya, and if possible some other things as well.

Rotarycrazy - location????? I'm a sucker for free food

Toby - you may need a new battery also if the idle is being affected when you turn on your lights, running the just the alterator will stress it out. comeon now

 

snapcaseacilec - its at his house. We are going back there after the ride through the mountains. It's real close the big daddy's. Oh, and it's probably not gonna be free. He'll probably just ask for a few bucks donation to help out a little. Sorry, I didn't mean to burst your bubble, but It won't be too much.

 

that's cool, probably not going to be too hungry since we'll be eating at B daddy's, but theres always that time when the food settles, no prob. and by location well i'm from charleston don't know where they live.

 

Don't worry We'll caravan together into the mountains, and then come home with them. You won't get lost, we'll be together.

 

preston, did you get the DVD made?

 

i got a copy of the dvd, im making copies as i type. It looks awesome, nice job preston!

anyway, so where are the charleston guys going to meet?

KMart at <10AM?

 

I've posted up all the pictures i took at the meet. you can find em here

Once again thanks for the help changing my heater hose on the side of a 2 lane road in the dark! i owe you guys some major and masin, hope you're not dead or anything or i'd have a new hose coming for a skeleton!

 

I finally just got home, we left columbia around 1230 got into charleston around 1:50, I almost lost it by doing an accidental drift to the right coming off the interstate headin to the Auto X that was being held in Summer ville, there was a Spitfire 1500 with a Carburated 12A running, nothing real interesting than that. Left there went to Jamin's house and chilled and worked on the cars for a lit bit also. Then I myself left there and went to Justin's house to pick up a part from him and told him of all the fun he missed out on. Finally headed home. and now I'm chillin watchin the SUPER BOWL and the Seahawks just scored a field goal.

Preston - No turbo FB

Later Days
