We finished up with the wiring and mounting the battery last weekend. The master kill switch we used had a second pole in it that was used to power the fuel pump.
The fuel system didn't take us too long. The fuel cell is a Speedmaster unit. Decent quality for the price. We started out using the Trick Flow 140 fuel pump that was in my Highboy with the 504. Then ran 1/2 soft copper tubing to the pressure regulator and cool can on the firewall. Will see if it passes tech. I cant say I've ever seen soft copper used for fuel line at the track. But it worked on the Model T.
After getting the CVR starter mounted, we dumped a few gallons of gas in and cranked it up. Man it was good to hear that 504 idling again. Heck it was mothballed for a couple of years. I'll have to get some video to post. But no major issues to report. The C6 clicked thru all the gears. No oil leaks. The alternator is charging at 14.4 volts. The CVR water pump cools really well. But our cacklefest was cut short due to a blown seal in the Trick Flow pump. Sitting around for a few years dried it out I guess. No biggie. It was incredibly loud anyhow. We had another Holley knock off pump kicking around.
We're moving on to the roll cage and seats now. That will be a couple of weekends to finish.
We're trying our best to make the test and tune at our local track. It's on 4/27.....
