Some of the most important components of the build are going in now.




Hopefully she’ll be running next week and I’ll see how well the AC works. Looking forward to getting her on the dyno with boost control.

 

Brand new Holley fuel regulator has a hole in the diaphragm and is leaking fuel directly into the intake through the manifold pressure line. Called Holley to order a new diaphragm and their answer was,”sorry, we don’t sell just the diaphragm, you have to buy a whole new regulator.”


Roger that, I understand. So Sweet Pea will be getting a brand new fuel pressure regulator but it won’t be a Holley.

 

Washed out the rings on my SBC with a bad Holley regulator. Feel your pain.

 

Holley products and support are horrible! I've had really good luck with this Mallory. (e85 too) Has true 1/2 inlet/return ports as well. Used 3 of them now. Never had an issue over many years. One on my rx7 is like 6 years old now.

Summit and Jegs carry Holley reg repair kits for Holley regs.

 

 

I agree 100%

Hope you get it going soon.

 

 

 

No sitting still for you! Can't wait to see some passes with the changes.

 

 

 

Sounds good, now do it, lol

 

 

Hope you don't have problems with the steel wheels and 1/2" studs. There was another Nova on here that was having problems with the studs sheering off.

Make sure you're wearing jeans when you walk past those quarters, lol. They add to the sleeper look for sure. Love this thing!

 

First time she has stood on all 4 in a long time. I think she looks good with the 275s. Has the perfect rake.

 

Looks sharp.

 

That thing looks BAD.
