The Pozzi's are such sweethearts! So helpful and eager to share!
So - you need a quick change rear end --- get to the track - switch ratios and get that badmotorwhateverthehellitis bang the rev limiter. :rofl:
Running out of gas! Priceless.
So my story on that.... just completed doing the EFI for the first time on the Nomad many years ago --- I'd put about 10 gal of gas in it -- dyno etc... get 'er done and park it for a couple weeks. Comes the weekend of GoodGuys show here - get up and get 'er washed up - and head out at O'dark thirty. Car goes 10 miles and starts bucking -- then runs fine - then bucks - hiccups - then runs fine. I'm thinking "crap!" Must be a wire on a header I didn't tuck away right etc.... Then she just gives up. No biggie - call a tow truck. A tiltbed rollup comes and gets me. Since I'm on the side of the freeway - we can't hear or talk. He buttons it all up and I jump in the cab. He asks me what's wrong with it.... and I say... I just did full new EFI blah blah blah but it felt just like you'd run out of gas. BINGO! Lightbulb comes on and I tell him to get off the next exit and go to the gas station. While it's up on the bed I put some gas in - hit the key - it fires off immediately... We back it off - I pay him the $175 and off I go to the show... YES I told all my buddies what I did - and anytime we head off somewhere - their first question to me is "do you have gas"? :cheers: :woot:

A quick change is EXACTLY what I need! :thumbsup:
Bad Momma Jomba to you Greggers! :lol:
Your gas story is awesome... I had those same thoughts... why is it missing? What happened now? We just changed the plugs... hmmmm.... :willy:
Lucky I ran out right near a friend of Rich's south of Gilroy so we were back on the road in 10 minutes. :cheers:
But I like your story better. :rofl: |
