Them's some serious numbers!

Royce: Is the E85 out of the pump? What nozzle size and bypass pill did you end up with? Is your pump an "O"? Or is this top secert?

Greg Dietrich Mt.Morris Il

Greg, no big secrets... Pump is a 0, nozzle 7AS , 80 pill , E-85 was out of the pump so it was actually probably E-70 this time of year. Had a knock sensor on the dyno and absolutely no detection of detonation



You will notice the pulls start at 4000.. The off idle was kind of rich in order to get the fuel right at the top end. We had to start at higher rpm to get a clean pull.. My secondary bypass needs some work to clean up the fuel delivery from 2-4000 rpm. I forgot my spring and shim kit so had to settle for the rich condition. That Pinto would look good with stacks poking out the hood

You have started something here. With all the interest and questions , I think there will be others running them soon.

We do not need a nine second Pinto. what if somebody hits it in the trunk!

Frank what is going to be fast enough to hit it in the trunk?

You would not hit a stationary target would you?

Yes I know about the old jokes about Pintos. I still consider the Pinto wagon we bought new as one of the best cars I ever owned regardless of the lawers.

Royce: I ran injectors on my 300 six alterd years ago. I run methonal back then. The e85 thing would maybe need a differant slot in the barrel valve. I made some differant ones back then to clean up the low end. I`ve thought about E85 for some time, this could be interesting.

Greg I am running a Hilborn spool with no mods. I have another injector that has a Kinsler modified spool. It was set up to have better low speed fuel delivery, and it works nicely. I had hoped the secondary bypass would bleed off some fuel down low.. I need to check the poppet valve to see what pressure it unseats..

Greg,

  How about a photo and details of the Altered! I have wanted to build one of those 300's since I read Ak Millers article on the Mustang Six a hundred years ago. You'd think E-85 or E-70 +/- would be able to use a bigger bypass pill than Methanol. After all it's 15% or more gasoline. Just out of curiosity, what plugs did you run Royce?

one thing to try is a stumble valve from Engler. It's like a poppet that is backwards. Bleeding off fuel in low rpm until the pressure rises and then closing. This would allow a smaller pill so you don't get lean up top. The spool should only be controlling part throttle.
