Kinda spooky? You're a master of understatement.

This is all great Lenny. I followed this for a long time and somehow didn’t know it was on the road. Awesome she must sound great. Would love to hear her. Been there with a throttle sticking. A lot goes through your mind in a short time, some not good :o

Thanks t is running very nice and drives good, it has taken a while to work some bugs out but fun, I am glad I went with 325 gears the power is manageable with 3500 stall, maybe when I get used to it I can go with lower gears.

I have been driving it a lot, I need to do something different about cooling the blower, I have a water meth system squirting just above the blower to cool it but it is liking it to much, I have been going through six gallons every fifty miles I plugged off half of the injectors and I am still using two gallons in fifty miles, so I am going to put four Small injectors and and run them at twenty percent of the time with gasoline and see what happens, but it is way more fun to drive then building it, I was tired of working on it by for now Leny.

Hi Leny,
Good to see you're driving your Comet.
Mine is driving too, but when it gets below 70*f here in Los Angeles, it's too cold to go outside.

As far as the water/ meth system on your blower, I had a Snow system on my 8-71 blown 454FE in my Mustang. I had plates under the carburetors that had 1 jet under each carb. It had a progressive controller that started injecting a 5lbs. and was full open at 9lbs. It worked fine, never "peppered" the spark plugs, and lasted about 30 gallons of gas before refilling.
With the amount of water you're using be careful of hydrolocking that motor!

Hi, yes I am concerned about that we are shutting the solenoid and the pump at intervals it is though it is siphoning it I have had it with that so I am putting fuel to cool it.

I see an OEM type fuel pump. Is that still in use for fueling?

We won at the Grand National Roadster Show first place in the Prostreet and the best interior, what a fun trip to get out of the Cold.

An incredible project. Blown, injected, SOHC.  Street driven.  People who know, know the incredible level this achieves on the coolness meter.

I'm sure Leny has some pics from the Roadster Show to share, but I took some too.
Mrs.-T and myself had fun at the show and also enjoyed chatting with Leny and his wife.
