Misc Tech / Fuel slosh.
Hi. Been having a long time fuel slosh problem under acceleration. When I aggressively take off  at less than a half a tank the car falls on his face and goes lean. Ive just accepted the fact that I have to drive the car with more than a half a tank. But now I have less than 20 pounds of fuel pressure and have to drop the tank I was wondering what anybody else had done to solve that problem.

I'm looking at Aeromotive Phantom in the tank baffled pump model 18688.
Has anyone tried it yet or come up with a better idea.
Thanks steve

Electrical Tech / Turbo coupe tach
I'm trying to resurrect the 4cylinder tach in the bird. Do the three posts in the back of the tach represent the three inputs?  I have 12v ground and tachout from ecu set to half speed to compensate. And it won't work. Is there a test to see is tach works?
Thought?

Misc Tech / A.c
When I did my build I took out the wires to the a.c Now I want it back?  Has any ever done this? I can get all under hood stuff from latemodel restoration. The plugs and wiring to turn on the comp and fan Im at a loss for I figure I'll get the plugs from the local yard but what powers what and what order.  If I can come up with the scratch It's something is do soon if not over the winter.
Thanks

Body/Appearance/Interior / car dusters
I was looking at a product called California car duster at wallyworld. I've seen others use them. Anyone have negative feedback. My car has fresh paint and I'm afraid of scratching it but sick of washing it for dust and pollen.
Thanks westie

User Rides / Winter stuff to do
I put the car on a mustang dyno the other day. I wanted to check the rwhp and see where I should be shifting and see the afr. I am planing on taking some jets out of the primaries and see if I cant get the afr in the lower rpms a bit leaner. I also am doing a 5 lug and cobra brake swap and would like to keep track of the progress here and get better at posting stuff.

At The Track / Wanted to go to the track
I wanted to go to New England dragway tomorrow but as I sit here its Snowing they're predicting anywhere from slush to 3"  After the restoration I took the last year to do I'm wondering if a little salt will hurt.
  I promised myself first salt on the roads in the garage she'd go. I'm so close to 12.99 this years goal for the 225/60/16 street tires I'm running. Last Friday I did 13.7 at 106 mph with an embarrassing 60'
 The plow truck/parts hauler is down with a broken transfer case shifter. and blown brake line or id rent a trailer and pull it up and if I break it I can pull it home The track is about 90 miles away.
Mabey Ill go make a video of me burning the tires of the car next year its coming back with 17" 5 lug so they wont be needed.  Man I wanted to drive this longer than a month this year oh well  Thanks for letting me whine
