2 things where an electric pump does better. more consistent fuel pressure, also there is less loss of power from the motor because it takes less energy to run the pump. the closer to the tank the better elec. pumps push the fuel better than suck the fuel.

Looking forward to seeing you all there.  😛

Hey guys, If I take 301 across the Bay Bridge to 50 that adds another hour to the trip.  I would be better to just go down 95 which only adds one hour.  I hate to miss the parade but I’m towing the car anyways.  After the beating we took on the drive to Pittsburgh and back for the PVGP we both decided that on long trips it’s just better to tow.  I…[Read more]

Hey guys, I’m going to go down the Delmarva.  That’s going to shave an hour off my drive.  It doesn’t sound like much but I’ll take it.  I’ll see you all in VA Beach sometime Friday afternoon.

Excellent photos.  Enjoy the riding weather as long as you can!

Hi Greg,  When you get it, could you please post it in our Flickr group as well?  The link for the group is below.

Thanks, Kent.

Great, Roy!  Looking forward to seeing you there.

Kent T, how do they attach to the undercarriage?  

Just sent it via Paypal.  Thanks for taking care of this.

I’m in.  Will be towing her in so we don’t have a repeat of Carlisle.  (If the Fates don’t urinate on my Wheaties in some other sort of way.)

Good luck, Allen!

Outstanding!

Ed, does your horn button work or do you have a horn button on the dash?

Good catch, Paul.  I had seen that pic before but I didn’t make the connection.

The guy that took the shot says it’s a Daytona but I didn’t know that Daytonas had regular doors.
