Supercharged Phoenix is a go....

That looks pretty much the same as I run on my car, no issues for me either

It would mean a new tank and body off to fit for me. Thinking about it the lift pump is ancient, it was in the car when I got it running the carbs. New pump and filter I think and see where it is from there.

[dopdog]

good move, one step at a time.

[jeffw]

Ordered a new filter and Facet Bluetop (apparently a higher flowing Redtop) and we will see what that does. I might have to move the Swirl pot and HP pump/filter out of the engine bay as I have a suspicion that some of the issue maybe heat related now that the flat floor is in.

[dopdog]

Have you noticed any change in engine bay temp them? eg engine oil or water temp more than usual.

[jeffw]

No, if anything the oil temp is probably a little too low (80 ish deg). But the whole area is now enclosed and the fuel swirlpot/pump/filter are under the intake.

I wouldn't particularly like a litre of fuel stored alongside my engine, anyway. Probably best to move it astern.

True....but I don't like sitting on 10 gallons either....

The other safety issue with swirlpots in the rear is the run of 4bar fuel down the central tunnel. At least with a front mounted swirlpot the fuel is at a few psi past the prop. Mind you I doubt if it makes a large difference either way.

Having a trailer, Jeff, I don't sit on more than nine litres in either car

[jeffw]

True....but I'm doing a rally in France next weekend in the car so needs more than a few yards worth of fuel. Plus it would be nice to do a lap of Spa without having to carry a fuel can
