fancy cool name

i was thinking about the 11.00/16. which are about 38" tall. i can get a good set for $4-500. hummer tires suck. im trying to think of other alternatives than spending 7-800+ for tires.

whats the reasoning for bypassing the mechanical pump? the fuel pump on the frame is toast, not connected to anything. i do have another good one sitting in the garage though.

i got most of the wiring squared away, or atleast figured out. i dont plan on touching anything on the engine until it acts up.

There is just no way I would drop 400-500 on them, if they were a killer deal I would say go for it. I would look for a used set of 40's that are in the 400-500 range.

I've never had good luck with them I guess. didn't supply enough fuel and sometimes made starting a *****.

those engines have trouble with vapor lock, i think the mechanical fuel pump is a contributing factor?

hmm? ill have to look into that. ive been racing(if you can call it that) around on the county roads out here and havent had any problems. start up right away with no pumping the pedal either.

think its becuase yours is a little hopped up/4bbl. as where this one is still stock with a 2bbl?

Bypass the mechanical one so you can have a less reliable pump. The only thing the electric one is good for is to fill the bowl if it leaks out all the time or sits long enough to evaporate.

Hummer tires aren't bad. Just have to shape them up. The biggest reason they suck so much is because everyone runs them on wheels they'll fall off of if below 15 psi. Also because people usually put them on fullsizes, and of course that's gonna suck.
Just have to make them look like this. **Also proof the tires once had tread.


I'd just watch for a good deal on some tires, they come up often enough. You can have my old 38s if you need something to wheel on for a while. They have recognizable tread left and would work great at Katemcy.

You got a rear 60? If so get some extra shafts.

Yea it also helps if you get the vapor lock. It's better at pumping air. Just fix the vapor lock problem.

I have never had a problem with and electric fuel pump... yet.

Wire nuts on a vehicle = bad

are you trying to sell them to me? im the one who found the tires for you. besides, i dont want to have to buy 20's. and i dont want a tire that large.

well, a wire nut would have been better than wires twisted and rusted together with nothing at all. one hot wire was actually grounding out because it got caught up in the clutch pedal spring. thus why the reverse light didnt work.

with some pretty cheap shipping iirc...

[colman]

i did offer compensation ed, and as always i am in your debt. it seems that this might be a perpetual thing if i keep finding things in waco that i want

and since you did find them tyler you know that i am selling them for what i have in them

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Actually I don't even remember the specifics of the arrangement, just glad I can help out as always.

That was a pretty cool dude I picked them up from, I wonder how his build is going?
