    Please Help!! Voltage issues or so I think...

    Hey Sparky, excuse my ignorance or stupidity but resistor wire? Where is this located and what is the purpose of the wire. The motor was installed and built by a performance shop so I really don't know what they did or how it was wired. Any information you can provide will aid in locating...

    Ok, so update. Replaced the fuel sending unit, fuel filter and fuel pump. Test drove it and the issue crept back although the fuel level in the filer looks much better than before. On the way home (15 min drive) the issue did not happen at all. I am so confused. We drained the tank and...

    Thanks Stangdaddy! I think you nailed it along with the others. Do you have a guide to the tank cleaning or a link to fuel cell replacement?

    Ok, so replaced the belt and grounded the negative terminal in the trunk. Volts were great and the car ran awesome but on the way back with my buddies in the car as a witness, it died. What is funny is I was all over the car the first half of the ride. Pretty much to the floor through 4...

    Hey Tim, Thanks for the help. I do have an inline filter and it is new. That is a good idea about taking the fuel line off of the carb and checking for the flow. I am going to put a new belt on and test the car. If this does not solve the issue I am going to test the grounds and ground...

    Ok, so update....I talked with my mechanic and he says as dumb and overlooked as it might seem, it could be the belt that is causing the issue. If the belt is overtightened and hot (which it is) after driving, he said the belt could be slipping under load which actually might cause it to loose...

    Tim, At first we thought it was the carb/fuel tank but the more and more we investigated, we thought it was electrical. After replacing the alternator the car ran great! Better than it has for a long time, no hesitation, bogging or falling on its face. Two days later I go to drive it and...

    Please Help!! Voltage issues or so I think...

    At idle just reving, no issue in fact the volts seem to be better at idle..no issues. While driving, at about half throttle if that, I will try and give it a little and it will fall on its face but it seems to be inconsistent. The problem will happen and then sometimes it doesn’t. Only seems...

    6stang7- The voltage regulator is gone and the harness is still in the car. It has been bypassed by the mechanic that installed the alternator. The car ran great for well over a year with the alternator like this so I find it hard to beleive this is the issue. rbohm- Replaced the solenoid I...

    what ET for mph?

    I agree, you me and ga289stocker all have very similar set ups minus some variables and him and I have run similar times, and you by far have a lot left in that MPH so get some slicks or radials with a higher gear and you will be really kickin our asses haha
