Well... Made it back from DVs last night. Really wish I could post that the car is done and it came back with me on the trailer. But we've been getting bit in the A$$
by gremlins for the last month or so. First it was an electrical issue that was blowing the main fuse. Well we think that problem/gremlin has been put out of its misery. Now we have a problem were the engine won't fire. Yesterday DV and I came to the conclusion that it must be a fuel delivery issue. We have spark and we have air. What we don't have is fuel
If you pump the carb. One jet squirts a mixture of air and fuel, pretty much just spitting
the other jet barely drips
If we pour some fuel down the throat she fires right up, but then dies for lack of gas
So... We think the fuel pump has failed. Its mechanical, so more than likely a cracked diaphragm or some other failure. DV and I went and picked up an electrical pump yesterday (might as well take the opportunity to make the switch from mechanical to electric at this point) and he's hopefully swapping it out today.
After all that. One nice piece of custom DV work did get finished and thats the radiator/nose shroud. Here's a pic of the nose unfinished ( wish I had a better one, but its to late now
) and one finished. It really sets the front nose off nicely
