  1. pressure seems good, but you can still have an injector problem instead of a fine mist it may be a stream of fuel. still if you switched injectors and wires and plugs and still have this problem, then . happy rebuild a quick test of an injector is to pull the fuel rail off the motor with the injectors still on and good fuel pressure. use 2 tiny test jumpers, one to 12 volts one to Neg ,un pluged from that injector , nothing will squirt with power on, Brake the Neg wire and it will squirt . see how it looks, a fine mist is what you want, a stream is bad . It will continue to squirt until you reconnect Neg wire , then it will stop also, you can put your test light on the harness to that injector , un plug it from that injector, if it flashes on off on off real fast then the computer is working , if a;ll that looks good, then ,,, happy rebuild remember the injector will pulse only when Neg is removed, that happens in the ECM
  2. One other solution , remove the brake peddle all together, its a race car. and while your at it, remove the mirrors, you dont need to see whos behind you
  3. dont know if your cold cylinder prob is fixed, but did you ever check the fuel system,, A lean cylinder will run hot, a wet one will be less in temperature If its EFI , it could be squirting wrong , and not set a code. I have seen this before
  4. my size 9 is a very tight fit in the one I built. The next one will be an automatic trans . only 2 peddles to worry about . I may stretch it about a foot and widen about 6 inches, its a tight fit no matter what
  5. Can you stick a probe in the tank to see how much you really have ,or just try and fill it
  6. Is your car EFI , if so the pump can run and even pump fuel , but the pressure can be low , you will need a pressure tester . It still sounds like a fuel prob to me
  7. First it didnt evaporate . If you check the fuel pump circuit ,if it electric, then check he relay, you can jump across the terminals to power the pump, another thing, the flue pump has a SOCK FILTER on the pick up side of the pump, it can clog and make you think all kinds of crap is going wrong. I put a air hose on the fuel pump tube and blow if off, its a pain in the ass and will clog up any way. or take the gas hose off the engine and turn the key on, you should get gas flow for 1 second, and it will shut off,Then crank the motor and see if gas comes out, If the system is EFI type
  8. check fuel pump relay or the pump its self,
  9. A gas still has lead , it is not subject to EPA BS , I use it and I use pump gas too , don't sweat the small stuff , get in it and drive it , have fun , or go to a auto part store and buy a bottle of octane booster
  10. correction, I went for gas today, it is not 109, but 114 octane , , but that is this airport, dont know about any others
  11. PS, dont buy jet fuel LOLOLOLOL you will kill every bug in your county
  12. go to your nearest airport and buy AvGas, 109 octane . at half the price of a so called racing gas . and YES they will sell it to you.. I use it in mine, I have a v-6 with 10.5 to 1 compression ratio . works like a charm
  13. OMG, 225$ for 5 minuets of welding?? I have a TIG and a MIG, both are super easy to use. 15 minuets of practice is all you need . serious and months to wait,, wow, shops sure know how to screw people now days ..
  14. come on guys. its a plate holder, its a piece of metal designed to hold a tin plate with letters and numbers that cost an arm and a leg every year' Its not like trying to reinvent the universe with a stone ax,
  15. I built my frame for about 300$ and it took about 4 days in total
  16. why not make your own, it would be cheaper and you can do it the way you want , Its not that hard
  17. so, as I see it, its about a year for your car? I built mine is about 3 months and I was building a electric delivery truck at the same time, But that's just me. I have a full machine shop and all the tooling I need to run an automotive business. not many people have that. But it was on the road with I wanted, the engine type, trans type, rear end type, I made all the discissions on what I wanted . Not what someone wanted to give me. But I have been doing this since the 70s . And what is your car going to fully cost, I never looked into that. I have about 7 K$ in mine from start to finish . I didnt know how to bill myself for my labor
  18. if you want more power, build it yourself and put a LS3 GM crate engine in it, they can go up to about 700HP. is that enough? Mine is just over 265 HP and is scary fast .
  19. I dont know about anyone else. But when I built mine with a V-6 , I had to make the headers for both sides, and it is loud, AND Flames shoot out of the pipes, Its loud very loud, but that what I wanted, The full race cam makes it very grouchy LOLOL . But that's why there is vanilla and chocolate ice-cream, something for everyone. On wheels I have 15 inch in the front and 16 inch on the rear . . The GPS speed-O doesn't care what size tires are on the car. MPH is always correct . remember , its an open roadster, it will be just as loud inside or standing next to it, besides the car is saying ,, " look at me, Im here"
  20. as this debate runs on .. no one has asked about a T-handle or a pistol grip shifter, I see it as If I can grab it and move it, it did its job.
  21. I put 2 cars on E bay, both buyers chickened out after the sale. I would rather separate fly shit from pepper with boxing gloves in dim light than do it again
  22. Yes you are right, I have also seen at car auctions in person when an owner thinks his vehicle is worth 75 K$ and at no reserve it sells for 15K$, and you still have you pay the auction house their 8% Barrett Jackson was like that for a long time, I don't watch them or go to them any more
  23. I live where Moses lost his sandals . Any one that would come here with a 7 would be a town holiday
