Jim -

That makes sense - if they rigged up natural gas into the air meter, it would run with the pressure pump dry - probably not a good thing.

I think it would have been easier to install the pump drive cable after hot test.

Now that makes more sense to me!

You mean that other web site where all the cast off's from NCRS live, breath and crawl around on their bellies?

Oh, that was nasty coming from even me! Please copy this and post it on that board.

Thanks,

Just for your information, and/or lack of knowledge------------------which is obvious, there are some VERY noteworthy and VERY WELL respected people on this forum who also visit other forums related to not only Corvettes, but other GM products. I'm pretty thick skinned, so I can live with your crass comment, but it is a shame to see some of the people who are highly regarded on this forum referred to in such a manner just because they visit----------------oh ya, and provide very valuable information, on other forums.
Your comment was just another typical example of why SO MANY people are turned off by the NCRS community. And what's really sad, is that people like you just don't get it. SAD!

Re: new fuel injection engine break in

thanks everyone for the replys. i appreciate all the knowledge. it's great to learn as much as possible all the details that went into building these cars. i never knew they ran them on natural gas until this past weekend and now i know the fuel injection engines were ran by themselves.
very cool. thanks guys.
take care,

Re: new fuel injection engine break in

I observed the hot-test area at Flint V-8 several times in '66-'67 when I worked almost next door at the Chevrolet Pilot Line (friend of mine ran the Flint V-8 Piston Department), but I don't know how they hot-tested F.I. engines prior to '66.

The carbureted engines all ran on natural gas, with an adapter that plumbed it directly into the carb pad on the intake manifold. Don't know what they rigged up for F.I. hot-test.

Ken Kayser's book on page 171 says there were 2 hot test stands at Flint for the FI engines. No picture.
