    Hello All,

    I have two issues with my 29 roadster I am sure the experts here have some insight.

    1) I hit a dip (more like a hole) on the front right and now I have a wobble in the front end when you get to about 30 mph? There is no physical damage that I can see in front end.

    2) I recently installed an Elderbrock intake with 3 dueces and an electric fuel pump. Everything runs fine in the garage and at low speeds, when you get to about 40 mph the engine shuts down. When stopped it starts right back up, so it seems to me for some reason its not getting fuel at the higher speed. I have the fuel regulator set at 2psi, maybe the fuel pressure needs to be increased?

    Jack it up and start moving things around,youll find something ,and 4psi is about right.
     
  4. You probably bent the drag link,,grab a tape measure, jack the front up and check the center of the tires front and rear.

    I would bump the fuel pressure up to 3 1/2 to 4 lbs. HRP
