Hi I would look at the pump and fuel lines and connections, it sounds to me that there is air getting into the lines and allowing the fuel to drain back to the tank causing the initial staring problem also check the fuel filter for cracks and leaks. I suspect the pump is tired and is struggling with...

Hi Del
your changes are very slick, I just felt there were rather a lot of them, just looking at the video it had me thinking (risky I know)

Hi Paul Very glad to hear you are keeping the work coming in don't want you with time on your hands, you could get into all sorts of trouble! I am now very well thanks, lack stamina a bit but apart from that I feel better than I have for a few years. We can have a bit of a chat on the phone or at th...

Hi deck height (distance from crank centre line to top of block) = stroke/2 + piston compression height + rod length therefor for a fixed deck height and compression height your 2 variables are stroke and choice of connecting rod length.

With chevy 5.7" rods that is a stroke of just over 4", with a 6" chevy rod it is 3.4" pr...

Hi Stevie
I don't think people who are quite happy to take tomato fertiliser and toadstool neurotoxin to get their kicks are hardly going to bother if their NOs is catering or industrial grade. . .that is unless the industrial grade is cheaper in which case it will be first choice!

Hi the rubber is cast between the two halves of the damper (centre hub and outer ring) and then vulcanised in place thus bonding the two parts together. as it gets older the rubber perishes and cracks and will eventually turn to granules, however before that if it is used as a damper it will at some...

Hi
looking at the picture the rubber in that damper is very perished and split. Please tell me you do not propose to refit it, if/when that lets go it will make a right mess!
