I just bought a truck ring off ebay and it is about 1/4" smaller od and about 1/4" narrower. I only need one, and I am painting, so hate to spend money for nice shiney pair. Thanx Bob

I have a '52 Dodge Wayfarer. Does anyone know what other h/l trim rings may fit? Thanks Bob

Well it's still doing the same thing. Don, I did what u suggested and it ran fine direct out can into carb feed. Tonite I ran thru manual fuel pump direct from gas can. Started out at 5 1/2 lbs. and after 4 min. climbed to 7 1/2. Then it started to gradually fall from 7 1/2 and after 20 min. got to zero....ran for another 2 to 3 minutes at zero and then died. I don't think it has anything to do with any of the gas lines from tank to fuel pump. there has never any indication of a leak, and it does the same thing no matter what the source of fuel is, ie tank or gas can. I thought it could be lobe on cam not allowing pump to work properly, but it does same thing with electric pump. HELP Bob

It does it with the cap on or off. At present I am running direct of a gas can and having same results. Bob

Hey Don I graduated from UT in Knoxville in 1968. My first daughter was born there. One of my roomates dated a girl from Murfreesboro named Ginger Baer,and later married her. I think I spelled last her name right. Pretty sure it wasn,t Bear or Bare. Anyway, thought the name might ring a bell since it's pretty unique. Bob

Marty I know u are right. I can get 8 to 9 lbs if i hook up elec. pump and manual pump in tandem. I can get 4 to 5 with manual pump only. It runs great in either case, but in both cases fuel pressure starts to drop off in about 10 min. and eventually goes to zero. I even drove it about 10 miles the other day with pressure at zero....thought I had discovered the greatest alternative fuel solution in world until the da#@ thing started sputtering and quit. I will try suggestions from moparallthe way tommorow. Thanks for everyones help. Bob

I don't think it is the regulator. I have a holley 1-4 lb. regulator with hex bolt to set pressure. At this point I have bypassed the elec. pump and the regulator and am running gas from gas can into line directly to manual pump. The carbs are linked togehter. I have not pulled the gas lines as u have suggested nor have i hooked vac. to the intake...I will try that tomorrow. Thanks for ur suggestions...I will let u know the results tomorrow. thanks Bob

I have disconnected the line from the tank and ran a line into a can of fresh gas to eliminate any trash problems with trash in the tank. The tank that is on it is a stainless tank that I had built. I thought maybe that was problem, but it did same thing out of a gas can. I blew air back thru the line to make sure it did not have any trash in the line....It really has me stumped. The way it is plumbed is hard line out of tank over axle into a filter, then into electric pump, then into fuel pressure regulator, then hard line to front of motor, then small piece of rubber into glass inline filter, then short rubber to inlet of manual pump, then hard line short piece of rubber to fuel pressure guage then rubber to both carbs. Tonite I ran gas out of can thru elec. pump, regulator then manual pump...No luck...Next out of can to hard line to manual pump bypassing elec. pump and regulator...same thing.....same problem...runs with 5 to 7 lbs for about 10 min. then starts to fall and after about 10 more min. I am to zero..The gas can is above the elec. pump and the main gas line to assure gravity feed. Thanks Bob

Tim Today I ran clean fuel out of a gas can for reasons u stated, thinking maybe I had trash in tank....I have a new in line filter before the manual pump. Thanks Bob

I need help! I have a '52 wayfarer with stock 230. i installed Langdon headers and dual intake with 2 carter webers. When I first started it everything went good, ran very good. After about 15 minutes it started to starve for fuel. I proceeded to put a electric pump, pressure regulator and fuel pressure gauge on it. Started it up and fuel pressure was about 7lbs and it ran good, but after 10 minutes it started to fall off and got to zero in about 20 min., but continued to run good for another 10 minutes and then started to starve again...I then put a new manual pump on it and got about 5 lbs. of pressure, but after 10 min. or so started to fall and went to zero again.... I have tried every combination I can think of with same results....ie manual pump with regulator....manual with elec pump at same time with no regulator...manual, electric, regulator together. Today I ran a line out of a gas can and tried every combo. again thinking maybe the tank had trash in it....same thing... Can anyone give me some ideas? I'm out of ideas. Thanks Bob

Have a safe trip back to R.I. for the holidays. Congratulations on the new place, and especially the 3x garage. Maybe we can hook up this spring. Hope you and the family have a merry Christmas and a prosperous new year. Bob

Mike It is on the road. I'm having a few issues with the electric fuel pump, but other than that it drives greart. The T5 it nice. It shifts smooth and everything seems to be good. I've only put a few miles on it, but so far, so good. How are u coming on urs? have u moved yet? Bob

Appreciate the info. I put an electric pump on it and I want to remove original and make a block off plate. Thanks Bob

Filled up with regular 87 octane for 1.39/gal yesterday in Va. Beach. Bob

Pete, They are cast iron. Bob

I am running Langdon headers on my 52 dodge. Does anyone know if you have to drop the front exhaust to remove the fuel pump? Thanks Bob

Ditto the great news! Bob

37/50.alotta guessing Bob

I have Langdon cast iron headers and offy intake with 2 carter webers, also from Langdon. Can I change the original fuel pump without dropping the exhaust at the header? Also, what kind of fuel pressure should I have for the carbs? Thanks for anyones help Bob

I just put spin on adaptor from Summit on my 52 D41...I ordered SUM-G4985. This is a kit. If I had to do over I would orderTRD-1028. This is just a remote bracket. You would need toget the rest of fittings to reduce the size of the lines. The only thing i ended up using from the kit was bracket. I used 1/4" rubber line and reduced the fittings in bracket to 1/8 Npt and then used 1/4" barbs....Same on the motor...used 1/8 npt to 1/4 90 degree and then used 1/4 " barbs. I had to use the 90 degree fittings, as straight 1/8 fitting with barbs won't work. Bob

I just installed a remote bypass filter. Used 1/4 inch rubber lines. There was no drop in oil pressure. The lines supplied with the kit were much bigger, and had I used them, I could see where I may have had a drop in pressure. Bob

looks like maybe a 1961 caddy. Kinda hard to tell for sure. Bob

$1.95 at WAWA store in Va. Beach...Paid $2.99 yesterday for diesel. There are some stations posting 87 octane price on top and then posting 20 cents lower on next line with a car wash. Bob

Just paid $2.14 in Va. Beach, Va. for 87. Cheaperst diesel I,ve seen is $3.13. Bob

I've got a 99 Ford explorer rear end in my '52 Wayfarer. About 1/2 " n narrower. Has posi, 4.10 gear and disc brakes. Bob
