I might have to have you tech me. I don't think I'll pass otherwise.. |
I thought you passed last time? No problem though.
Breather is caughing up a significant amount of oil I"ll try to clean up before saturday, plus the fuel line issue they gave me a hard time for last time.
I need to fix my shock mount before Saturday. I lost the bolt and bent the pirch on the axle somewhere on the K-falls gathering/cruise. _________________

I dunno....I did notice about halfway home I heard a high pitched "ping" sound and there was a loud rattling sound from there on home....
Its not bad on the axle, I think vice grips and a propane torch and a trip to the JY and hardware store should solve the problem.
I think I'll go for the "jam nut" effect and grab two from the hardware store this time. _________________

7 Inches too much to be exact. As well as the oil leak. The guy who teched me last time was kind of cool about it, but he made a point that he probably shouldn't have let me pass.

Where the hard lines come off the frame rail to the inlets for the fuel pump, there's rubber lines there. _________________

maximum amount of allowed rubberized fuel line is 12" so how are you too short? or are you saying that you have 21" of rubber line? _________________ Richmond 3.73 posi| 36/24 sway bars | SLP LM2 | Koni's | Ground Control 800/200 | Y2K wheels | Dyno Don headers & Y-pipe | airfoil | BBK underdrive pulleys | Raised strut mounts | Extended ball joints | LCARB'S

I have about 20" of rubber line between the frame rail's hard line, to the pump. 10" on the inlet, 10" on the pressure return line. _________________

I see. Was there anyone from the crew at PIR last night? There was a black IROC there that ran 15's and a gray camaro that ran 13's and was very clean, had some meaty tires in the back too. _________________ Richmond 3.73 posi| 36/24 sway bars | SLP LM2 | Koni's | Ground Control 800/200 | Y2K wheels | Dyno Don headers & Y-pipe | airfoil | BBK underdrive pulleys | Raised strut mounts | Extended ball joints | LCARB'S
