Good morning, all! After this weekend's experience at TWS with some fuel starvation in two corners, Brad and I have some questions to ask. 1) What kind of fuel delivery system are you running? Single

Susan, I have a 69 TR6 with triple Webers DCOE 45's on it. I use a Wix canister filter located in the trunk. This filter is about a 8 ounce or so capacity and screws on like a oil filter. I then have

Susan, if you have fuel starvation only in the proximity of the corners, it is almost always due to one of two things -- either the fuel cell pickup location or the carburetor float bowl orientation,

If you use solenoid-style pumps where a coil drives a diaphragm (the kind that go click, click) then you don't need check valves because it alrady has a valve in the outlet. If you use a centrifugal

People have said checkvalves are useful, but I don't have any. Yes, if I run only one pump, it will pump down the line to the other (as well as to the front). But I run both at the same time. It is l

A lot depends on your pump. In my car if I had one pump off I could only get about a pound at the fuel pressure gauge. My system might be more restrictive than others. With check valves of course I g

It's relatively easy to do a rollover switch, but it, or any other such device, is one more thing to go wrong just as you're passing your nemesis on the lat corner in the last lap. As for oil pressur

Rather than an oil pressure cutout switch, install an Accusump. Oil pressure can drop for reasons other than the engine going south. You might see a sharp pressure drop in a hard left turn as the oil
