Spud Miller's Cave / Air Bleeds...

How important is proper air bleed flow on a Kinsler nozzle? Nozzle is a AS78-S510.
On the engine that I bought, it has a Engler injection using the above nozzle (which is really big). When the engine was built, the nozzle bosses were never drilled (as that is Tims method) for the air bleeds as they had nozzles under the runner to deliver the nitro. They did use the factory bosses for dribblers to start and warm the car. Now on alky, the holes under the runner were plugged and the previous owner went back to the stock location with the nozzles and ran it for one race. I bought the engine and it was ran poorly since we fired it.
I pulled the nozzles out to clean them and noticed that they were completely caked up with white powder to the point to where I was using a pic to dig it out of the air bleed holes in the nozzle...thats where we realized that the intake was never drilled for the air bleeds.
I have to assume this is killing power as the fuel cannot atomize without it.
the picture attached is from a Engler manifold with the holes drilled.

Spud Miller's Cave / Optimal Fuel Pressure
« on: July 15, 2015, 06:01:32 AM »
What is the optimal fuel pressure for mechanical injection N/A?
Using your calculator on the FIE site we end up in the area of 69 lbs.

This is on my Kinsler 2 7/16 stack but it gets a little funky as Tim Engler put a bird catcher on it. It has a Enderle cube BV with the main bypass tee'd at the inlet with a standard Enderle fitting. The have the pill holder in the T but then it was flowed with a jet can with the flowed Kinsler pill instead of using the screw in Enderle.
I'm really thinking that I will just pull the jet can out and screw the pill into the holder like it's meant to be.

Spud Miller's Cave / Hilborn vs. Kinsler

With regards to the flowed pills from both companies, are they the same as in a .110 flowed kinsler is the same as a .110 flowed Hilborn?

Stock case requires a flexplate shield regardless of what suit you choose....but a full floorboard will get you in with a -5 using NHRA ET Rules.

Using ET Rules..a -5 will work as long as the stock case trans is sealed off with a floorboard meaning that you cannot see tranny from looking down. If you are using a aftermarket case, you do not have to have it covered.

That pump has a return regulator....its mounted on the pump. He in essence is using two regulators and returning fuel with both.

First thing I would look at is the bypass on the pump. I have used them several times including on my FED with no issues but they can fail like anything else.
I do find it curious that you are returning fuel from the carb, I have always deadheaded mine and ran two lines to the carb and ran a return from the pump back to the tank.
