Well I am so happy. Started it up today and let it run for awhile and it runs great. Synced up the timing fixed some small problems but so far so good.
next todo is my Electric Fans need to be setup to kickon and my tach is not working. Also need to look into a better upper radiator hose setup, what I have now is temporary to get it running. Looking todo something in steal that I can then have powdercoated black. Also need to get the tubing for the supercharger

I guess I should start a new thread but Im to pissed right now.
Car runs fine but I had a small leak coming from the top of the tank. So I dropped the tank and primed it and the leak is coming from the threads my OUT fitting on the top of the Rock valley tank. I cant get the fitting to budge to tighten it. Can't even loosen it. Not sure whats going on. The return fitting is fine. Ugg

the outlet has all the pressure so much more likely to leak as compared to the return line which isn't under pressure (hopefully). What type of sealer did you use? I like liquid teflon. If it's a six sided nut on the fitting make sure to use a 6 sided socket to try to remove it so it doesn't strip as easily.
Jody -- issue is that the fitting screws into the tank itself and its a 90degree. So you have to get a open end wrench on it to turn it. I used liquid teflon and thats how I caught it. The white liquid was bubbling. Anyway what a pain.
I love the Rock Valley but the Ricks is so much nicer as the 90 degree is build into the tank so you don't have to deal with this. Oh well I wanted to get a stock appearing tank.
Well the good news is that Rock Valley stands by their product. They told me to ship it back and they will fix it.
In the mean time I pulled it all apart and put it in a vise and got the fitting out. The threads all look fine so it was threaded fine. I have 2 different teflon tape tubes. One is safe with Fuel and one is not. So the big question is which one did I use? So I'm going to put it back together and just verify its not the tube I used. Lets hope thats the problem. If not then gotta bag it up and ship it back
Hopefully Friday I can get out to the garage and get to work. To much going on this week with the holiday and all
Well good news for me.
Looks like I used the liquid teflon that did not work with gas. I used my other tube put it back together and tested it. No leaks. Killer
So to the garbage with the other tube. I only need one and the permatex one was really old anyway.
