Tom -
Thanx for the comment. I have the aeromotive pump, too, with 1/2 inch line, except my pickup is in the front, but my fuel cell slopes forward and it is supposed to have baffling (it was custom made and I never actually saw the inside). (It has a back-flow preventer and all of that neat stuff, so I assume he did the baffles like he said he would. 23 gal.).
I know that I have been "low" on fuel recently (1/4 tank), so that raises a good point. If there is momentary cavitation, the pressure would drop to near zero until the pump received fuel because of the deceleration. I've got a fuel pressure gauge (it's switchable with the
oil pressure and I usually leave it on the
oil pressure). I'll have to try it when my tank is low, again, and watch the fuel pressure.
Perry -
I had it on a rack today, but didn't have the presence of mind to take a good look at the header-exhaust port interface area. Hopefully I'll remember when it is on a rack, again, on Tuesday.
