DSC_1510_small So after 40 days and 40 nights of rain and cold weather it looks like we might get to go to the track tomorrow. The dragster has been wanting to quit running at the top end of the track (fuel running away from the  pick up so I have been wanting to install a primer system
DSC_1512_small I purchased a “Kit” that used Enderle’s billet tanks through AlkyDigger
DSC_1513_small To do what I want which is a little out of the box I had to purchase some additional stuff
DSC_1511_small So this install made me really nevous as it just seemed to fall together, normally you have to fight and fit things many times but this just seemed to go together. The return from the “K” valve was just the right height of the bottom of the belly pan
DSC_1518_small I removed te two plugs from the side of the primer tank and two -8 fittings screwed right in, I removed the straight 1/8 NPT to -4 fitting out of the bottom and installed a 1/8 NPT 90 -4 fitting on the bottom. On the -8 fitting I installed a -8 coupler.
DSC_1524_small So the tank is just the right height so that the bottom fitting just sits on the belly pan, the -8 return on the tank is just the right distance from the side of the chassis and bottom of the belly pan. The wiring from the old electric fuel pump was in just the right location to connect the primmer pump
DSC_1532_small I replaced the old fuel pump toggle switch with the rubber capped momentary on starter button ordered from Summit, and now at a push of a button I get a nice squirt of alcohol into the rear most port of the hat on top of the blower. I had used the rear ports in the blower for my rear two injectors. We will try it out tomorrow.
