I took the car out today, as it is 54 degrees here in the burg. It was above freezing for the past 48 hours so the snow is mostly gone. I only put about 20 miles on the car today. :)

Heres the proof. They were taken at the neighborhood ball field.

74 today in Tejas, stopping at home to pick up the Mustang after work and heading to the ball fields for practice tonight. Was going to drive her into work, but the ground was still wet from rains last night.
 
The Mustang looks great Lethal. Congratulations on COTM, the victory was very well deserved.

Only one negative comment, why is everyone scattering crack all over the place. If thats snow I need to go have a Mexican cafe.
 
Nope fresh pictures from today...

Question... I have a mechanical fuel pressure gauge inline to the carb. Its pegged at zero while the car is running. I haven't checked the filter yet, but my guess would be if the car is running, there would have to be some pressure there. Do you think i have a bad gauge?

I am using this one: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-800215/?rtype=10

edit: It used to operate at about 7 psi, if my memory serves.
 
Well, if the gauge is NOT bad, you're getting gas to the carb by magic!

:wstup



That or your bowls are about to empty. Don't stray too far from home. :craz
 
I never really quit driving mine but it does feel good to get em out when it's nice! Cool pics. And the gauge has to be bad if you drove 20 miles with no pressure...
 
After sitting all day yesterday, i decided to take it out again today. Funny thing is when it started, the fuel pressure gauge stayed about 6.5 psi. Why would it not work tuesday, and be right thursday? Any ideas?

Hmmm...your name is in my little black book. Have you thought about it being due to the Curse of Midlife? Hmmmm?
