I have beat that shat out of my airtex racing- it works.


i do like the ends on that carter pump.

that said, if there durability is anything like the carter diesel lift pumps, id ignore them as an option.

I am using airtex in my 3rd buggy, no problems with any of them, Plus they are available at any parts store.

get some yokes / shafts from yard and hack them together unbalanced rather than balenced smaller shat.

hack it together like smike said. Hell, run square shit. You're not racing. And if you change your mind on that you can put some good shat together and you'll have spares that were cheap.

I still run a square shaft in the front of the J truck.   All 1350 joints.     Never had a failure.   And if you saw the beat down I put on it last weekend....  :o

I'm gonna try and hit the jy this weekend and try to find some yikes.
I ordered some 3/8ths aluminum fuel line,do you need a special flare tool for that or can you use a brake line flare tool?

Good luck flaring Al without cracking it.

I'm ignorant - maybe it's easier than I expect.

i would think you would need to anneal it first...
I never wanted a red car.. always thought they were tacky and common...
I now have 4 very not common cars and they are all red.. :o

Cmon can't be that bad,all the cool kids do it right.but at only 14 psi you think just a couple hose clamps would be fine?
I went to j&j last week during the rain storm,no shafts laying around they scrap them.was thinking of wilberts new place all those vehicles are on stands and nice gravel open till 4 on sat

How do you like your non load reaction orbital? I'm thinking of buying the same for mine.
