  3. The "Group Buy" for the 1967-68 Deluxe Steering wheel recasting is now officially "Open". Now is the time to start sending in the wheels. The latest date that the wheels must be received by Kochs is 31 March 2025 The cost for each wheel is $750. The only "up front cost" is your shipping the wheel. If you send in more than one wheel, each additional wheel will cost $700. Shipping and insurance to Kochs and return shipping will be extra. You will be contacted by Teresa to make payment for the wheel(s) and return shipping and insurance when your wheel(s) is complete. The shipping will be factored on your delivery address and insurance. I will be sending the contact information all of you have sent me to Teresa at Kochs. Send in your wheels, horn pad and hardware and paint color sample if applicable. Please include: First and Last Name Shipping Address Phone number email address V8Buick "Member Name" Wheel Color (SEE THE BOTTOM FOR WHEEL COLOR) Pease read the "shipping to Kochs" below. There are two addresses. One for USPS Mailing One for FedEx and UPS shipping You can use USPS/Mail, UPS or FedEx to send in your core.

    alec296 i need another buick

    looks good
    whats with the accel pump arm?
    a 1050 cfm setup would be nice on my regal

    The pump arm is in place for the throttle position sensor, and provides provides spring resistance for throttle return, there is a spring under the pump.

    did you setup the manifold yourself.
    i see you have a late model alternater. how does yours line up
    mine is off some and had to use a double pulley

    Maybe I'm looking at the plumbing weird because of the picture, but your regulator looks like it is not plumbed in correctly. Which directions does the fuel flow? Where is the return to the tank?

    Bob....the inlet hose (pressure side) is routed all the way around the front of the engine, down the driver's side and looped around to the rear of the pass. side rail, up and across over to the driv. side rail and back to the regulator (all at FULL pump pressure). That appears to be a return-style Aeromotive regulator and those do have the inlet(s) on the sides and the return out of the bottom.:TU:

    Very cool, Kerry! Only a warning if you're relying on the accel pump for throttle return by itself; I've seen both the pump shaft & pump linkage on the q-jets bind at one time or another.

    Keep us posted...

    If that is true, at WOT I bet he will see a big difference in fuel pressure between the #8 cylinder and the #7 cylinder. #8 will see the most pressure and cool fuel, and by the time fuel reaches the #7 cylinder it will have heated up quite a bit and the pressure will have dropped to where the regulator is trying to control.

    I know it isn't a perfect solution, but I would much rather see the fuel flowing in "parallel" through the two rails, and have the regulator fed from 2 sides in the back (I think that regulator has 2 inlets).

    I totally agree Bob....I would have ran the pressure line to a "Y" at the front of the engine then on to each rail, and finally utilize the regulator's (2) inlets at the rear. This method will evenly "split" and equalize the fuel pressure and temp. much more efficiently and effectively IMHO.:TU: Would have used a lot less braided hose too!:grin:

    Here is a pic of the intake after modification, it is hard to see in my first picture.

    I'm running Accel 30lb injectors at 50 psi, Aeromotive boost vaccum/boost return adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Megasquirt v2.2 board and software and relay board, and lots of tuning. I have plans on getting it back to the track this time with the FI to compare to my last runs with the EDDY. Q-jet. I ran 12.83 @108 with 2.75 gears in the 9".
