@e30loveLove the blacked out exterior trim line. How did you do it? Actually, the whole car looks great!

What are the applications for three vs four port regulators?

PSI is the problem.
The Weber uses a relatively large needle in the float valve, and
any pressure against it will cause it to overfuel. But only at low volumes.
So you'll get high float levels at idle when you don't want that,
and low float levels at full load, when you don't want that.
I have yet to find an electric pump that DOESN'T overfuel a Weber.
I use a Mallory bypass- style regulator, which is slight overkill, but I
just NEVER have trouble with it, so why break that?
t
2 psi is plenty. 1 psi is enough. As long as the flow is there!
What size return line do you use? Bigger than the feeder line or same size?
Thanks,
Dennis

When I re-assemble my 73, I will be doing this with a Behr console and evaporator, everything in front of the firewall is new: Sanden Compressor on a Hobie, dryer, and parallel condenser MIT Spahl fan.
Sprechen Sie Deutsch Herr Layton? (I don't, but mit is one of about 12 german words I learned when I lived there)

I read the book once, may need refresher.

Based on multiple threads here the Carter P4070 electric fuel pump is being used successfully by lots of folks with dual Weber 40s. Question about the pressure. Looks like ideal pressure is 3-3.5psi for the Weber 40 dual carb set up. If I am understanding things correctly, the Carter 4070 produces 4-8 psi; above the recommended pressure. Am I mistaken?
Found this Carter marine unit, specified as 4psi, rather than the 4-8psi. Would this be a better choice? Any downsides to a marine unit vs auto specific?

I plan on using a pressure regulator which decreases the pressure, meaning the flow velocity increases, ie higher volume per unit time. Not completely understanding carb needle/jet functioning, is the PSI (pressure) or GPH (flow velocity/volume) the problem when too high?
Last question, is the recommended psi based on what is delivered at a certain RPM, or from idle to full throttle?
I see a carburetor for idiots book in my future.
Thanks,

Looking at buying the NOS Clardy in the classified section. I believe it can run R12 or R134a as long as newer fittings and appropriate lubricant is used. True?
Thanks

Do you have black rear panels, handles or rear ash tray?
Thanks

Anybody using the Morel Nano speakers? Crazy thin. Great online reviews, whatever that is worth.

The biggest difference is no waxing (but that's what ceramic coating is for).
Did you apply a ceramic coat as well? Before or after the PPF?
-
Wow! Just wow.
How durable is the PPF? Special precautions when washing it?

Hard to discern between the actual car color and effect of lighting, processing, etc. My ignorance here, but is there a specific location on the forum for individual builds?
Thanks all
Dennis

Anyone know what color this is? I messaged him but not sure if he is still active on the forum. Beautiful car.
