I don't know, i got it back together and the next thing you know it didn't want to start. Stared at it for awhile. Tapped the fuel lines with a wrench and fuel distributor/injectors. The it fired right up and ran. Hasn't had a problem starting since. So i don't know, maybe the fuel distributor froze up a bit, maybe their was an air bubble in the lines. I don't know.

Yeah, I have a friend with a Mercedes 8 cylinder fuel distributor that is very similar to the fuel distributors found on the real group A cars. Possibly I can switch to that for extra fueling and also they are supposedly a little better at tailoring how much fuel can be flowed. I have a spare set of the gold injectors that are a little larger too.

Man you let a car sit for a while and it starts getting problems. Now i'm redoing the steering rack because it somehow became bad witting there. I.E.it has hard spots and easy spots. Usually the sign of a bad rack. But once i get it running well all around I'll take it to get the exhaust put in. Then I guess start recovering the interior.

No videos this weekend. I spent a lot of time getting it running right and stuff then it just wouldn't run correctly at all. Won't rev over 6k regardless of what I do. So i'm thinking i still have fuel issues. BUt getting closer every time. Broke em loose in second gear though, not just a chirp, but actually loose.
