What did you do to your 1969 / 70 today?

[FL SAAC]

Just a quick tip that most people miss.  When you put the syncros back together did you match up the alignment marks for the hub and sleeve?  Those parts wear in together.

Duly noted, a very good friend long time ASE mechanic (don't call me a tech) former racer, driver etc. Is actually working on it.

I am just here as the assistant, get me this, get me that,  pull, push, move out of the way.

Greatly appreciate your input, thanks again

Where you headed ?

[FL SAAC]

Nothing like hearing some kool tunes from Henry Mancini...can you dig it ....

[FL SAAC]

If it's not one thing it's another

driving the old 69 red shelbee with its 428 boat anchor, it started hesitating and came to a dead stop.

took ye olde aire filtrumoff ...

pumped the carb over and over and over and nothing came out...completley dry

we always carry a can of (among many thing's) starting fluid, so I doused it plenty

then cranked it over and got lucky that it kept sucking fuel till I got home

First thought about rebuilding the pump, but the kits are all way over $50+ USD

plus your time taking it apart and then assembly.

so we looked for a carter fuel pump and found the old trusted M6905.

but here is the kicker they ranged from $123.99 and MUCH MORE!

but we kept looking and low and behold we found the same pump for only only $77.79 BIG SAVINGS

THIS IS KEY HERE :

this brand new carter M6905 reads advanced polymer pump diaphragm help ensure consistent performance in multiple fuel blends.

That SOLD us, we ordered it and its coming by weeks end.

The adventure continues

Hi Roy.  add to your watch list and the seller will probably offer you a discount. Seems to happen all the time. I bought a Carter  a few years ago for my SCJ from Summit for I thought about 60 bucks. I'm sure there are others out there with a deeper dive including Carters.
