Decided to replace the starter with the new PowerMaster 9052 I acquired a few months ago. Since I still haven't put the inner fender back in, it was a 'while I'm in here' thing. Almost decided not too as the current unit from NAPA has been performing fine so, leave it be...'if it ain't broke'...

The water temperature gauge is no longer reliable so after cleaning connections first and then replacing the sender to no avail, I’m wiring in a replacement gauge. Decided not to eliminate the stock unit in case a solution can be found (fix, miracle or replacement gauge cluster). To ensure I...

Cleaned up the air filter after the weekend on the dry lake bed at El Mirage. Winds were blowing hard with gusts up to 60 mph a couple of times. Mostly in the 30mph range. Then one of the guys left my doors open and dust devil went through us…. This is inside the sock covering the filter and...

Out at El Mirage again. I’ll be pulling the car too and from the startingthis trip Today we are pulling trailers out for setting up the course. Probably a bit heavy but, only for a few hundred yards.

A good deal and saved a bunch on fuel not having to fetch them. Well done. The F intake can be used if the intake gaskets have the EGR passages from the heads blocked. Some gasket sets, like the ones I have on there now do, some don’t.

Can't hurt to have a good spare. My black one is still serviceable and, once the silver one is repaired, it'll be good to go too. Lower's on E-Bay are listing for anywhere from $200 - $330. The higher priced ones often include the upper. Uppers alone are listing at $50 - $200. What people are...

Some have maintained that the two 90* elbows I have aren’t good for airflow. Others agree that over that short distance…meh. Quadstar sells an intake that looks pretty slick. https://quadstartuning.com/products/high-flow-intake-plenums Naturally, it needs to utilizes an install kit...

Clearest pictures I have, without running down to the truck tonight, are from 2013 when I was mocking things up for the spacer concept. I inherited the intake design from my friend and former member 635. These were just mock ups. The Hat is a product supplied by Pennisular Diesel. I don't know...

Went to Kingman to prep the streamliner and help with a couple of other things around the place. Took my damaged lower intake in the hopes there would be time to repair the ear. Nope. But, friend of his knew a guy etc. and I was able to pick up a pretty clean lower for a fair price. Sorry...

Uh, no. Both are 3/8" barbed nipples. Perhaps a bit of optical illusion gifted by the camera angle magnifying the differences in the orifices. Here they are nose to nose which should clear things up just a bit. And, a 7/32 drill bit passes easily through the narrower one (right side of the...

Given the function of the Air Dog II-5G and 4G series pumps removes air as well as water and gunk, the water and gunk being retained in the filters where the air with excess fuel is returned from the pump to the tank under pressure via a 3/8" hose. Delivering what is similar to the foam we see...

Never heard of drilling the tank I run the Air Dog DF-165 and utilized the supplied fuel neck adaptor vs drilling the tank. fNo issues.

I'm just presenting options. How one makes things work is up to the individual. I mean, I guess one could try to stuff the T and the sender under the intake but, not recommended. Heat, clearances, access in the future etc. makes going under bad idea in my book. Earlier, I'd remoted my FFM to the...

OEM IP Inlet 7/16 ORB to 1/4" Barb and the aftermarket with the -6 AN. IP Fitting to -6AN Push Lock example. Realizing this thread was pretty much all about a fitting for a cleaner Fuel Pressure gauge set up, here's a couple of under $15 solutions for those using a Leroy type FTB kit using...

The Time-Serts arrived and they worked just fine. A little different in style/construct but they threaded in as hoped. The Senmmonn inserts have a wider lip than the Time-serts and, having already prepared the intake for the Senmmonns, the Time-serts seated a little deeper but, that’s fine...
