The V8 Owners Forum -

Paul, it's a fair while ago now since I did this but from memory I think I left the original pick up pipe in place and removed the electric pump part of the device. The Pierburg pump lifts the fuel up out the tank ok and feeds it through to the engine at WOT, and that's with big valve Buick heads. ...

Work now finished in the engine bay. Just need to bolt it all back together now. Started like this; http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l88/paul0303/P1050102_zpsa883608e.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l88/paul0303/P1050129_zps18a87e7a.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l88/paul0303/P1050131_...

I'm using the 4.6 with an Edelbrock 500 carb. The stock pump doesn't supply enough fuel at wot, hence my question about fitting the in line pump. Sorry if this wasn't clear.
Paul.

The OEM in tank pump on my 4.6 SD1 struggled to supply enough fuel for the Edlebrock at WOT. I replaced it with a Pierburg rollervane pump which is mounted inline on the crossmember outside the tank. Rob, I take it you removed the original in-tank pump. Did you have to fashion another fuel pick-up ...

The fuel pump is inside the tank on this car. Will do the test you recommended to see how much the pump can flow.

Thanks Dave, The car's not in bad nick really. Body wise it needs some attention at the rear of the sills. Hoping to get this sorted next month. Thinking of lowering it and adding a set of Torq Thrust Ds http://www.summitracing.com/parts/are-1055773 http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l88/paul0303/P10...

That's not dirt!! He came over to give me a rendition of Al Jolson's 'Mammy'. Here he is after he blacked up his face......

As the Manta is gone and the Sebring MXR kit won't be on the road anytime soon. I decided to buy this. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l88/paul0303/P1050082_zps0e4048ca.jpg As I have the 4.6 for the kit car sitting in the garage I decided to put it in the SD1 to run it in. Thoughts being a big hea...

The upper connection of the two pipes in your photo is where you have a straight flange bolted to your intake manifold. The 90 degree fitting I have in my photo is fitted at this same point.

Photo shows 90 degree connector fitted to rear of intake manifold behind carburettor flange on Edelbrock manifold. The Rover manifold has a straight connector here. This part came off a Buick 215 manifold.

I have a 90 degree heater take off fitting which bolts to the back of the intake manifold, any good?

Pete this sounds interesting. With your programmable MSD advance for the vac system as well as engine speed I think it will be worth the effort. Just need to find that old runway now!

PM sent.

I've got a 2" spacer for sale. Top flange drilled and tapped for the carb studs bottom flange drilled. Both flanges drilled for spread or square pattern. £25 including postage.

"Simple Simon" Just because you can get the manifold to fit your engine by working on the manifold bolt holes doesn't mean it is going to al-line the ports. No offence intended however this is a bodge job.
