/CCG/ - Classic Car General

I'll take the fuel bowl off this morning before work, to make sure the float didn't sink or there isn't some chunks making the needle valve stick. I'll have to see if the local Lordco has the needle valves in stock and replace it.

I have a shitty Spectra Premium fuel pump, and I know it puts out 9PSI or more. But didn't have the fuel pressure regulator on it for a while, so I know the engine runs without it. Worst comes to worst, I'll get a rebuild kit

I wouldn't rule out the fuel pump.
In theory you should be able to turn the ignition on (assuming the pump comes on with ignition), or just hard wire it, as see if fuel pours out.

Then if you had a spare mechanical pump laying around you could hook it up, give it a pump by hand with a spanner, and see if the problem persists.

The fuel pump in there now is a mechanical one. Only 1 year old

Reread the question, I wasn't talking about the width of the tire, theoretically you don't want a tire at all when traveling on a perfectly smooth surface.

Oh right, didn't think you'd need a reg with a mechanical pump, I've never found a carby that wouldn't run on my stock pump but then I only play around with Italian shit.
Carry on....

Just look at race cars, the sidewall serves more of a purpose than you seem to imagine.

What's the name of this wheel style? Sawblades? Trying to find more info on this set but Google is giving me nothing useful. The Enkeis from aren't worth what the guy is asking for. These I can get for a steal but if they're the wrong backspacing then it's a moot point. Guy has only listed the bolt pattern and it would be a long drive to look at these.

>I wasn't talking about the width of the tire

Neither was I, what even gave you that idea?

Gotta go with the 5 sided sawblades man.

Apparently Cragar called them Super Spokes. Now we're getting results.
