Hi Red,
Thanks for the thoughtful response. I have a remote fuel filter on the front of the engine above the mechanical pump. It's a Fram spin-on and I will change it just for saftey sake. The pressure control valve is adjacent to that with an inline fuel pressure gauge, so I will "turn it up" to about 6-7 lbs as well.
I am a little more concerned about the
oil drip, but I'm convinced that I'll find it soon.
In the big picture, I got a temporary operating permit from CA DMV which is renewable till I can apply for SB-100 status and fully insured without restrictions and the car runs GREAT!
Life doesn't get much better.
