Re: What was the Previous Owner Thinking?!?!?!

Whoa! I mean, I've often wondered that about my black spraybombed interior, an intake manifold with some interesting throttle linkage, but nothing as serious as that!

Re: What was the Previous Owner Thinking?!?!?!

Yeah, the hole in the bed is just dumb and lazy. It's not like there aren't cleaner ways to install a cell and a gas cap system on the cheap.

Yeah, the "modern" RamJet crate was supposed to be plug and play; bolt it up, 1 fuel, 1 fuel return, 12v power, throttle cable and radiator hoses. About as simple a setup for FI that you can get.

Re: What was the Previous Owner Thinking?!?!?!

They put a carb on a Ramjet? WTF! The RJ IS plug and play but I still can't figure out how to wire up my tach without killing the engine. Soon tho.
And why didn't the RJ oil pan fit?
