[Amc-list] We burned our fair share of 87 today, woohoo!!!

["Bruce Griffis" <bruce.griffis@xxxxxxxxx>]

I gave up on trying to be fancy with the line from the fuel pump to
the carb. I talked to a guy at Napa (after going through a couple 40"
lengths of 5/16" steel fuel line). He suggested using the dark easy
bending stuff. He simply ran straight up from the fuel pump, over the
valve cover and up to his carb on his straight 6 Jeep. Hmmmm, sounded
easy. Said when he takes off the valve cover, he just unhooks his fuel
line from the carb and turns it out of the way.

So, my oldest son and I looked at it. Thought about going for a nice
long length and making it pretty. Then thought about just running it,
hooking it up and driving. Pretty lost out. We went straight up and
over, then a turn to the carb.

How'd it work? We put in a good bunch of miles on back roads. The car
cruised along with no problems whatsoever. Up the hills, down the
hills, hitting the brakes (still a slight pull), just running around.
Very good driveability on 35-50MPH roads.

We checked the valves and they were fine. I tightened a few, loosened
a few - but they were all very close. I'm starting to think the noise
is from the access plates - so picked up some Right Stuff and will
address it this week.

If was fun being on the road again.
