oh hai guys!
car is still smoking slightly at idle and alot when giving it gas. crusing speed isn't too bad.
idle screw needs to be adjusted a little higher and maybe the load screw needs to go in a tad. we really haven't touched it since it got home. i am gonna work on it this weekend. i need to put the rear bench back in.
and bees have started to decide to make the seam between the fender and door their home.
i started the car up today and let it run for a few.
more updates as i go.
i insured the car today and im going to register it tomorrow.
take it out for some test drives and get you more video.
my car has 15 psi hot idle at the flange. mostly because i'm running a bypass filter.
That thing is absolutely hot. I love the serp alternator.
If you want 2 things to do that may help you I will tell you. First, and you probably already know, is to put the timing belt cover back on now that the pump is straightened out. Rocks, busted serp. belts, insulation from hood, plastic/metal clips all do bad things to the timing belt. Once the timing belt breaks it is game over...like I said you probably know that one.
The other is the air cleaner. I put a fabed cold/forced air pvc pipe into mine and it made a huge difference performance wise. You would probably use something a little nicer looking than my pvc, but if you want a little more out of it I would go that route and then turn up the fuel a little. I ran mine exactly like you have yours and didn't notice any difference other than it seemed louder in car. If you want to run a factory set up then let me know as I still have the original intake pipe for that.

both of those things are already on there
wish i had more recent picture to post, but i don't.
hey boys,
so i've decided to go with this to put in my VDO tach which is in my center console...
i read the instruction booklet and seems fairly easy.
little teaser, just me moving it out of the way in the driveway.
sent an extra pump out to giles today

I'd like to see how it acts with the timing at 1.0, .95 seems low to me. None of mine ever ran decent till around 1.0 and if your cold sart cable isn't fully advancing the lever that will make it even harder yet to start. Giles will probably give a recomendation on the pump timing spec. with his pump though. I have my N/A pump on my T/D right now and its set at 1.17 and has been like that since Feb. I will go back to messing with the T/D pump again in a few weeks when I get laid off for the Winter.
