    I really love that vehicle. I really enjoy driving her so much. And she is beautiful to me

    My latest upgrade, 15x6 stock rims changed to 15x8 AR Baja black. With a few more cm offset the look is so much better...

    Aftermarket Carb

    I might not be familiar but, is that a special deal or does knock off reflect your quality estimation if edelbrock carbs in general?

    Steady 5.5psi fuel pressure drops when warmed up

    I'll take the regulator out the line for a test and see how that changes or not changes. It runs perfect everytime and I am getting used to the uncomfort every Mile made

    Manual gear lever housing wobble

    Sorry, I never returned on this. Hints tend to point in that direction more and more.

    Steady 5.5psi fuel pressure drops when warmed up

    Could be, a gauge probably has tolerances, too. Question is still why the pressure drops when warming up. Probably will keep it as it is and see where it takes me

    The manometer displas 10psi w/o regulator. At least on paper it is too much.

    Steady 5.5psi fuel pressure drops when warmed up

    True, missed out on some details. It is a mechanical Pump. Besides the changed carb and the stripped out emissions stuff, it is a pretty stock original motor. Reason for the regulator is that the carb asks for 5 to 6 psi. It was said and written that the stock pump delivers too much pressure...

    Steady 5.5psi fuel pressure drops when warmed up

    Runs perfect. But that doesn't support faith. On the other hand, i run edelbrock carbs on stock fuel pumps for years without gauge or regulator. And never a problem... Change for a better sometimes changes a running system and that we all know we shall not to mess with...

    Gas cap isn't it...

    Steady 5.5psi fuel pressure drops when warmed up

    Debris, yeah good point. I ruled that out because the filter is clean. I will keep it in mind. Gas cap, that is quick check. Thanks for the hint. That theory matches the time related correlation of the problem needing a warm engine to pop up.

    Steady 5.5psi fuel pressure drops when warmed up

    Good day everybody So I have a 12-803 holley regulator between fuel filter and the edelbrock 1400. When started and cold at idle the manometer shows 5,5 and a very steady needle. It is a liquid filled gauge btw. The warmer the engine gets, the more drops pressure. A test drive yesterday showed...

    What type of transmission

    For now it shifts fine. Hope I won't have to get to work on it anytime soon
