Sorry Lou,
I got nothing, other than ceaning out the air filter...

I must say however, that's one nice engine bay you have there Pat.
Do you run that fuel pressure gauge full time, or is it just a plug n play for adjusting settings?

Only reason I ask is bc I like the look of it, but am having 2nd thoughts with all these engine fire stories.

Ps. Sorry for the hi-jack.

Well, thank you very much. That fuel gauge is there full-time. I've had fuel leaks, but never from that gauge. And they were not "catastrophic" leaks, they were dribbles working themselves up to become catastrophic. But, the nice thing about today's crappy fuels is that a small fuel leak leaves a tell-tale puddle of brown goo that looks like maple syrup. Very easy to detect. The downside of that gauge, and all other gauges like it, is that when the heat hits it from the outside, and the cool gas hits it from the inside, it gets confused and gives out the wrong readings. But, the upside is that it is very consistent with its error pattern, so, once you get to know it, it will tell you what you need to know, even if it is telling you the wrong number.

I have a Snellings air filter, I was considering the idea to use a filter from KN which will give me more air flow, like the one posted by Patrick. I will post a picture of my engine next

Does it still run rich with out the filter fitted?
If so, your S&H may only be a secondary problem.

PS: My engine builder suggested steering clear of S&H for my particular build due to their poor air flow characteristics.

I'd stick with a K&N Extreme.

Lou,

I would definitely consider getting a KN filter, it adds a lot more flow and power. Of course, you would have to get a slightly smaller one than mine to fit in a turkey pan.
