So after 40 days and 40 nights of rain and
cold weather it looks like we might get to go to the track tomorrow.
The dragster has been wanting to quit running at the top end of the
track (fuel running away from the pick up so I have been
wanting to install a primer system
I purchased a "Kit" that used Enderle's billet
tanks through AlkyDigger
To do what I want which is a little out of the
box I had to purchase some additional stuff
So this install made me really nevous as it
just seemed to fall together, normally you have to fight and fit
things many times but this just seemed to go together. The return
from the "K" valve was just the right height of the bottom of the
belly pan
I removed te two plugs from the side of the
primer tank and two -8 fittings screwed right in, I removed the
straight 1/8 NPT to -4 fitting out of the bottom and installed a 1/8
NPT 90 -4 fitting on the bottom. On the -8 fitting I installed a -8
coupler.
So the tank is just the right height so that
the bottom fitting just sits on the belly pan, the -8 return on the
tank is just the right distance from the side of the chassis and
bottom of the belly pan. The wiring from the old electric fuel pump
was in just the right location to connect the primmer pump
I replaced the old fuel pump toggle switch
with the rubber capped momentary on starter button ordered from
Summit, and now at a push of a button I get a nice squirt of alcohol
into the rear most port of the hat on top of the blower. I had used
the rear ports in the blower for my rear two injectors. We will try
it out tomorrow.
