Re: [DML] Re: Contemplating a Carb Swap

Make sure you have a solid ground connection going to your fuel pimp.  I killed two low pressure fuel pimps (carburetor) due to what I believe was a faulty ground connection.  I ran a new ground connection about a year ago and  nearly 10,000 miles later I haven't lost a fuel pimp.

I also maintain that the difference between stock and a carb has to be biased towards the carb.  The last run of an old technology is more reliable than the first generation of a new one; that, and I'm not impressed with the Stage II conversion.  Were it not performed for necessity, I'd have never done it.  A big thanks to Steve for loaning me the screwdriver to remove the Stage II plate from my car.  I hated that thing because, a few times, it caused people to mistake my car for one "built" in Houston...
