ok, well im getting ready to covert to e85. when i purchsed the car the only thing that he had done to it was a an exhaust and a 255 lph walbro, now is there a way to verify furl pumps just by looking at them from the top, or do i have to take the whole assembly out? thanks.

just curious to see what a/f's people are running to get the most out of there setups. do you guys opt for a richer a/f and higher timing advance of a leaner a/f and lower timing advance... looking for some solid feedback that has been tried and proven, not "i thinks"....
thanks in advance.

Ok, its clutch swap time but and im getting ready to pull the tyrany. this is my second time doing this, and i honestly don't think its that hard, other then disconnecting the axles. i hate this part. so basically im trying to figure out a way to do this a quicker way. usually ill remove the...
