WCFB carb problem. Oil pressure ?

Lyn Smith · 09-15-2018, 10:09 AM

Thanks for all the help, and interest in my old 55 project .Raised the fuel pressure to around 8lbs.Seems to run better.Ran 13.55 @97 mph.Need to get a 5.57( has 5.14 now) in it before next test session, as the car only goes 6000 across finish line.The cars previous owner had put a #8 fitting in the stock tank,and had a Holley blue pump on the frame above that.I need to put the pump lower on the frame so it does not have to suck the fuel from the tank.Got a video on You Tube of the car under 1955 Chevrolet Q/SA Jr Stocker run.Not the greatest video,but still fun to watch.Thanks again .Keep the interesting posts coming.
