Title: Its Finally Looking Good!
Post by: Boost_Retard on July 03, 2004, 12:10:08 PM

it sucks that the races were shut down yesterday..but it gave me lots more time to get my car done right.. Just thought i would update..

all the gauges are in...hooking up the oil sending unit now..finally after 5 trips 2 lordco i got two new fuel filters that are exactly what came out of my car, 18 bucks each!

and in the fuel filter i pulled out..i found a big booger..looks like silicone that fell in while changing sending unit on tank..dont ask... :(

put in new MSD wires and plugs.

cutting SS braid oil lines now.. gonna have them all done in a few hours.

then a windsheild change and im good 2 go.

im SURE its going 2 work now..it has 2 or else!

filled her up with some 110octane..gonna try a some more boost if its running right!

Well it looks like i jumped the gun again..
things are not looking SO good after all...sure the car runs fine now (well it seemed that way on my 30 second drive) but i cant get more then 25 oil PSI..tried 2 gauges..with 2 different power supplys..

i did however get an oil psi booster kit from air speed today. (thanx for leaving that out for me!)

Altho i think it will do little to fix my problem..

I dont know if a plugged up oil filter in a full flow system could cause this low oil PSI problem..but i have a funny feeling that some weird snot has built up in the filter..if not that..it must be a pick up tube problem..

motor does not leak a drop..and never has..maybe the low oil PSI is why!

im gonna tear most of the motor apart tommrow to figure this NEW problem out..ohh joy.
