No i didn't. The bowl fills like it should. When it is full the fuel line will start to back up. when that happens the fuel goes through the t- fitting back to the fuel tank. Hasn't been a problem...

I did get ahold of wackyracer. He gave me some great advice. Now i just have to come up with the carb parts to make it happen. I have been playing with the carb trying to get it right on my own and am some what close but i have to modify thee skid plate for the fuel pump before i can put that bad boy in. I do have a grounding issue through i am noe trying to find. Thats a pain. Other then that the relocation bracket came in and i got that in but i am waiting on a new belt so i can move it down. But i have finals coming up so i will have to put the rest on hold until I am done... Cheers

OH yea. I need a whole bunch of parts....lol Does anyone know where i can get a breather tank, a good fuel regulator (used is fine), and does anyone know where i can get some pipe bent for the cold air intake? I want to make the car nice under the hood as well as sell a cold air intake setup for the first gen with weber or nikki. cheers

Alright a big update!! Yes I know I have not posted in a while and I am sorry for that (finals etc.) but here it goes... The fuel pump wasn't doing it for the weber. It got so bad that anything above 5k was useless or impossible so i finally got the mallory in and that fixed that. Next was the temp gauge. It kept telling me that I had over heated the motor. OH SHI*, but no I hadn'. The grounding system I biult was insufficent and was backing up electrons the the block through the gauge. So i rebuilt the gauges and inspected the wiring. so I fixed that too. Gauges work, car doesn't overheat, and i got the relocation bracket on and removed the stupid gilmer drive. [attachment=41619:attachment][attachment=41620:attachment][attachment=41622:attachment][attachment=41623:attachment][attachment=41624:attachment][attachment=41625:attachment]



Now as my spring break winds down I get ready to take the car to Rob for the tuning, yahoo!! I will post again soon so for now cheers.



P.S.- my horrible welding skills lol

alright I m going to revive this dead topic. I haven't written on my baby for some time due to "life" ie college. Alright here we go!! I have pretty much maxed out the motor withou porting as you all know. At best I am making 170 hp and 150 lb/torque at the flywheel. I can live with that, what is killing me though is my suspension. I have all stock suspension from when the car was built!! talk about scary, this thing is just bad. Therefore the second journey of my 7's rebirth has begun!! here is the laundry list:



RE-Speed:

springs

shocks and struts

coilover conversion

stainless lines

big brake upgrade (front and rear)

rear lsd w/ mosier axels

rack and pinon conversion (yes I know I do not know how to spell pinon, but you get the point)

wheels and tires



beware hondas your doom is approching. AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA (evil laugh)
