Very valid point about the fuel issues. At the Topeka National a couple years ago, my car would fall on its face after letting go of the tranny brake. Changed carbs, spacers, richened, leaned, etc and nothing worked. Then we looked at the fuel pump pressure from the pump to the regulator and it was way down from the original setting. Changed it and increased the fuel pressure from the regulator to the carb and it all went away. Turns out (according to Barry Grant) the regulator and pump were taking a nose dive. Ended up getting them repaired and sold all of them for Magnafuel. Best switch I have made so far.

Might be worth looking into. I believe we set the fuel pump to regulator at 28 pounds. Was at 15 when we were having problems.
