Re: Chasing the Local legendary cars.

Pulled the FI unit off the car to work on it. Here is the fuel distribution spider on the underside.

Re: Chasing the Local legendary cars.

Pulled the high pressure pump out of the float bowl. It is built like a oil pump and was stuck from all the gunk. It is driven by a cable from the distributor.

Re: Chasing the Local legendary cars.

The drive cable is broken and I probably did it when I tried to start it. I think I have a spare somewhere in my toolbox though.

Re: Chasing the Local legendary cars.

They will darn sure snap the cable if the pump is locked up. You can have a cable made at a spedo shop in a pinch to get you home. (Guess How I knew that) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Chasing the Local legendary cars.

Figured out the Fuel Injection. I did what all the experts did back in the day when they had FI problems. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Chasing the Local legendary cars.

Thats how I got the '64 injector that I have had all these years. I traded a guy a 340 Hp carb and intake for his complete injector setup after he broke the part where the gas line hooked into it. Like a dummy I never got around to ordering a new part to fix it...!!! now that part will cost quite a lot more than I paid for the intake and carb ($75) that I traded the guy way back in 1979. Oh Well, perhaps someday it will be worth something to someone?

That's exactly the way I remember most of them being 'fixed'. Wonder how many of those things are buried in landfills?

BTW, Charley, can't remember if I've mentioned it previously in this thread or not, but I have really enjoyed reading about your find and all the updates. Congrats https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif
