    Mathilda, Our Lovely 66 Newport, Wantonly DESTROYED by a Gen Xcrement Sociopath!

    I'm really sorry to see a wrecked car, but you're incredibly lucky that your child didn't die. A tremendous tirade when you were clearly distracted, her insurance company will have a field day with this post if they find it, and you should delete it. Pay attention to safety seats and other...

    Buzzsaw sound?

    Buzzsaw sound?

    I'll record later when I try it again, it caught me off guard so I left it alone yesterday and didn't get back to it this morning, but I'll tinker this evening

    Buzzsaw sound?

    I was planning to replace the timing belt, it started to squeal. I'll try tightening that or a new belt. Thanks everyone for confirming my thoughts that it was the starter. I didn't want to learn what an RB engine eating itself sounded like

    Buzzsaw sound?

    It does start and run, and the sound was only right at the beginning of the start-up, not during running. I immediately backed off the key when I heard it

    Buzzsaw sound?

    Has anyone heard a buzzsaw sound before when trying to start their car? I changed over the intake and carb and was testing out the new firing. I had a couple of dry fires, then got it running pretty smoothly. Was running pretty hot right away so I shut it down. Started it a few minutes later and...

    Electric fuel pumps

    Is there a benefit to replacing the stock fuel pump with an electric pump?

    Fuel pressure too high?

    Yes, it's the stock pump. I'll buy another gauge and check, thanks.

    Fuel pressure too high?

    My fuel pressure gauge shoots right up to the max of 15psi when the engine is running. Is this worrisome? Stock fuel pump (I was fixing the fuel line, it is leaking on one side, so playing with the fit and tightness to get it right and noticed the pressure)
