It is a belt driven pump. I think we solved 80 percent of the problem. There is a flapper on the rear baffel in the tank. I believe the after the...
Truly a sad moment, the end of summer, the Jeep has its top and doors back on and ready for storage, and the dragster is in pieces. [IMG] [IMG]
Not sure why they did not show up, they are there when I look at the post. I have attached them as pictures below
We went and did some test and tune today. The symptom we have is the engine comes up to RPM on the trans brake, I release the trans brake and the...
