guys, a while back i was running a holley red LP pump and a Jeg's HP inline pump w/Jeg's inline screen filter. that has worked for the past year or so...but every now and then the screen would get nasty and the motor would fuss in the higher RPMs. when that happened, i knew exactly what it was and would clean the filter. one other problem...if i were really running it hard, like launching it or quick little drag race it would break up some like it was starving for fuel. I figured the LP was starving the HP pump.
so this past sunday, I added a bigger canister style inline fuel filter, and a ford accumulator(removed the jeg little inline filter). now I cant get it to haul a$$ without bucking,popping,and it starving for fuel. Its not every single time i hit the skinny pedal...but its consistent. I might get threw a hard 1st gear, but then it falls on it face in 2nd or 3rd. then it does it in 1st, but not 2nd...etc.
WTH??? i dont have any leaks, the accumulator is plumbed right. it only has 4 barbs.(top left/bottom right=return...bottom left fuel in/top right fuel out)
i ordered a fuel pressure gauge and line kit to install just like Kyle Malone(nice set up) it should be here today maybe...i hope to get it installed and maybe help answer some of these questions.
my sig has the motor info, thanks
