It was the plastic line supplied with the gauge when I bought it 20 years ago. We have a great hose and fitting supplier locally that can make a custom supply line for me. Thanks for the advice, I'll check my options with them.

I want to know what caused the fuel leak if possible and I'll be stripping the carb for spare parts anyway.

I have either seen that car before or one very similar. I think it was on "My Classic Car" with Dennis Gauge. What a garage too, the wood is beautiful... not exactly my thing, but very appreciable.

Possibly Good Guys Pleasanton?

possibly?

Hard to say. I soak up that and a few other shows off the DVR with my coffee on an occasional weekend. He does a lot of cool car shows/events with a few interviews of participants at each one. My girlfriend can hardly stand his mannerisms and exaggerated hand jestures, catch phrases etc... Someday I would love to have a picture of the two together if I ever see him at a show. It is fun to annoy, to an extent.:unibrow:

Car was for sale at GoodGuys PUYALLUP just a couple weeks ago... I looked at it just to see what was up. $30 some thousand was all he was asking.... so I assume (since the hood wasn't open and nobody was around) that it's a 350 ci...

I took pics of it because it had INTROS --- and was going to use the pics to pester FETornio in a future post. :rofl:

$30k it's like your buying the Intros and getting the car for free :yes:

:cheers:

:rofl: :woot:


Greg - The car is a great driver, pretty sure its a ZZ4 350 w/ OD auto. It has great curb appeal even with the Intro's. :D Price is very reasonable considering the quality and build cost.

If you'd like to keep your Mech gauge, just go to a teflon braided line with AN fittings. That is what I run

And post some pics of you taking a sledge to that POS demon carb ;)

That statement says something about Demon's reputation and performance coming from a drag racer. :D

I had another racer suggest the Holley HP yesterday. I'll be meeting with another local engine builder to determine a cam, valve train, induction, and ignition plan for the motor with the AFR heads.

The Unilite distributor was barbequed so an MSD system is probably happening.

I contacted someone to build a braided line yesterday. :thumbsup:

I've been grinding out a parts list today to help the adjuster out next week. If you see any obvious over-sights or have any advice please let me know. :thumbsup:

I'm assuming the new Wilwood master valve and proportioning valve is OK


Exhaust system will need to be cut and rewelded again to remove transmission unless it's pulled out the front attached to motor. Accessing the upper Quicktime Bellhousing bolts with trans bolted up is probably not an option. Drilling the firewall for access to the allen head bolts might be possible. Might be faster out the front. Bellhousing to shift tunnel clearances are very tight. Remove console to access shifter tunnel cover plate.
