Lightening and balancing the intermediate shaft.

you guy's are right on top of it. so who is willing to try it?

Don't look at me our diesel is sooo good we don't know what a water separator is, and all our pumps spout like fire hydrants [sp]

I'm damn tempted but I'm already running a pusher pump from back where the seperator used to be.

BTW can get that pump from Partsamerica.com for $26.00

i think it'd work but its kind of weird since it will increase volume with higher engine speeds, which i think may be an issue?  but also if these could be used as a vacuum pump that is dependent on rpm it would be a good solution for the vnt, and then also attach the throttle to it for when you are wot.

I think these kind of pumps 'max out' because some of the vehicles they're on don't have a fuel return and would burst a pipe when float chamber shut off on a carb. REmember the Gunsens fuel pump/vac  testers?


EDIT My prettyglass domed pump onthe 1970 Bedford CF is rated at 2 to 3 1/2 psi.

Edit pt 2 ,the Quantum 1.6/1.8 have a pump rated at 2.9 to 3.6 psi and the 1.9 5 ganger is 5.1to 5.8psi

I saw a diagram of that fuel pump on a diesel once, I think it had a pressure regulator on top of the fuel filter so you'd feed the IP constant pressure and the excess fuel went into the return line.

Also, the carburated rabbits do have that pump, I have a '84 1.7L w/ that settup. My parts rabbit is a 1.6cis gasser and it's got a "box" bolted on the block over the lobe hole w/ some wires plugged into it.
