What float thing??Let us know how it goes.

Good Morning Gent's;

You know the float thingie's!!! Those stupid touchy Metal Baloons that when off just a pubic hair can **** everything else that worked OK before.

Anyhew: Spent an hour in a half on it and I thinks there right on.

Just for the hell of it I checked my OMP out and it measured perfectly. At least thats one thing thats turned out not to need work on!

Actually I should not bitch considering that this was a major project.

This Babe looks Great and Kicks some serious ass, considering that its been totally re-done in and out with alot of Mod's $$$$.

Those Yokohama's were worth waiting for. Drove in some serious rain yesterday and they stuck to the pavement just like they advertise them's to do. With the exception of starting from a dead stop. I've have to get used to this Clutch.

Well I'm headed for Nashville till next Sat, so keep on everybody so we can spend Moo Money.

Good Morning Gent's:

Have you ever been in a town that see's Snow once every 10 to 20 years??

Thats what happened in Nashville Tenn on Thursday. They gots 3 feet of it in about 5hrs.

It shut down everything for 2 days.

I'm glad I live in Oregon where it just Rains all the time.

Anyhew; I got back in town Sat. First thing I did was start up the Bad Boy and within 30sec's to 1min I had about 2 Gallons of gas all over the engine and garage floor?

(#@%:XLS#$@)SWEAR WORDS. Anotherwords (What the ****)!!!

Somehow those nasty RX Gremlins screwed with my Machine while I was gone.

I had everything working perfectly i.e. fuel pressure, float levels, Idle mixture, & 1300 RPM at the Idle. Turned the key and Fuel was shooting everywhere. Not from any connections or hoses but from What I think is called the Primary Float Relief Valve. It's the arm with which looks like a plunger on top of the Carb???????.

I changed the float settings and evrything else. Drove it for 50+ miles, stopped every 10 and had to do over again and again.

I'm amazed that I still have a Car, Garage, House left after this scenario. No Fire Thank God!

Mike & Luis; any ideas what to do besides get the runaround at RB????

Have a Great One. Anotherwords a Fast & Furious Day!

i saw thinking stuck floats?

Hey Mike;

Woke up the neighbors just now.

How can you have stuck floats on a brand new RB Holley setup???

Anyhow I just changed back to the Mech Fuel PSI gauge and sure as **** it reads 6psi. It's 32% outside right now so I'm going to wait till 1:00Pacific Time and **** with it then. Hopefully it will warm up to around 40-45 so I can play this crap all over again. The thing that Pisses Me Off the Most is that you have to keep adjusting everthing back to squire one all over again.

For all the money we spend and digging around for any info in modifing our machines, there is no quick fix.

I've had 6 of these wonderful machines, but this is the first time I did a 80 Motor to a 84 changeover. When I get my photo's converted to CD format I'm sure you and Luis will be impreesd with my project.

Even with all the fun this thing has been, to include hitting 141 the first day out!!! I will figure out the Gremlins that came with this setup.

Besides the Fuel Problem, any ??? you my have I'll bet I have the answers to doing any conversion from 80basic to 84GSL conversions. i.e. Engine,Trans,Clutch,Diff,Susp,Elec,RatsNest,FuelDe livery,(-minus My delema).

Speaking of the Fuel Problem!!!

One thing I did notice is that there was a notice that came with the RB Holley Set-up that states blocking off the fuel return line. Any clues on this subject???

See Ya's

My RB setup you have to disconnect the return too.Mine sucks alot of air and fuel.What a hog. :rant: Yeah get some pics up.I spend 6000Cdn on my project so far. :smirk:

Hey Luis;

When you state disconnect the Return line, you just mean to Plug it (Right)?

Did that and it made no difference!

I went to a Carb Shop that specialized in Holley Setups and they really fucked things up.

Now I get a lot of stumble and loss of power at RPM's above 3000. This is really starting to Pissss me off. Waste of $75.00. My top speed dropped from 141 to 90 at full Throttle.

This my sound stupid? But you are checking the Trailing, should the vacum line be disconnected???.

Well another day.
