I run 43 psi on the fuel rails with engine running at idle and everything connected. I changed out the 24# factory injectors and replaced with Bosch injectors that flow 22# per hour.

OK. You know everything. I don't understand why you are asking the questions you are asking. When you look up the brake pad application for a 72 Corvette you come up with the same part number for front and rear replacement pads. Check NAPA Online. I did. That means the same swept area for...

The effect will be that your rear brakes become your primary brakes instead of the other way around. Since the front brakes take more of the load than the rears that would not be good. I don't understand your statement that the 72 has different size brakes in stock configuration. They use...

Rear port goes to front brakes. Front port goes to rear brakes. Rich

Had a 3.90 in my son's 87 with a 383 motor. Came out of the hole like a funny car. :clap: Very close to dangerous in wet weather. Rich:bounce:

Tom: Surely you jest. Let me near it? HA ! ! ! If it hadn't been snowing I would have been driving it. Really nice car. He also has a 63 coupe but, unfortunately, it is as close to stock as you can get. Another really nice car. Let me know how the half shaft switch turns out...

Tom: Elaine and I will be breezing by about 11:30 tomorrow on our way to NJ for our visit with the owners of a 63 coupe like mine (LOL; not even) and an NCRS top flight 65 396 car. Hope the half shafts do what you are seeking. BTW, the carrot cake from Kelly's was GREAT ! ! ! ! We can't...

Anybody tried to put it in the #7 pipe? Would this cause unstable readings? Post pictures of your install. Jeff: When I installed the O2 sensor (unheated) I was advised to get it around 15 - 18 inches from the exhaust ports and not to isolate it on one cylinder as it would only be reading...

I have no experience with someone else's used pads. I have, on occasion, cleaned up a set of my own with some friction paper and a nice flat surface. If I came across a free set of nice, thick used pads in a compound I wanted to try I would not be afraid to true them up and give them a shot...

I wish I knew the answer to your question but I don't. I am running a Walbro in-tank pump. Using a 3/8" fuel line and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator I am running 43 lbs pressure at idle on the fuel rail of the TPI on a small block. I can adjust it higher but I don't need to. I am...

Now everybody buys the cheapest iron they can find. That includes NAPA (and I work as a counterman for them). I have several friends who auto cross C-5's and before they go out for a two or three day event they stock up on an extra set of rotors. Front and Rear. They usually eat a set...

It's unsprung weight. Unless you are concerned about the extra poundage on your car making you non competitive if you are a low speed auto crosser you won't exceed the ability of the stock iron calipers by bolting on aluminum calipers. That being said; if I were starting from scratch and...

I have a redundant fuel pump system on my 63. I have the in-tank pump and also installed an external pump in case of failure of the in-tank unit (already had it go bad once). Now if the internal pump fails I change the plug and am on the road again. Matter of fact I switch pumps every 30 days...

If you have additional questions on changing carburetor to TPI give me a shout through the forum. I am running TPI on my 63 and it is not really difficult. You can obtain a "stand alone" TPI harness from several sources. With that harness, a computer and the addition of a high pressure...

Hi to all. My name is Rich Merce and I am known as badbirdcage. I have recently finished a 13 year modified restoration project on an early 63 Coupe. Hoping to be an asset to the forum. Rich:beer:
