    72CSi Fuel Pump Issues

    Quick pressure sensor test. Use a Mighty vac tool, and pull about 10-15 inches of vacuum on the sensor. It should hold. If not, the diaphragm is no good. Common. The sensor is "unobtainium" and dipped in gold. Best to e-mail [email protected]

    72CSi Fuel Pump Issues

    Oh man...I am out on a boat way north in Alaska, on a slooow sat feed for internet so cannot see your pics without taking 5 mins per shot. If I was home I could look at how mine is set up! That won't be for a few more weeks. Mine never had a ballast resistor. That extra wire rings a bell. You...

    72CSi Fuel Pump Issues

    Fuel pump... When you pull out the right rear seat, you should be able to see the brown fuel pump ground wire attached next to the ECU to the body work with a sheet metal screw. Attach your helper ground here. Worked for me, similar symptoms you describe, and has cured other CSi's as well. Let...

    72CSi Fuel Pump Issues

    Try this...run a 12 gauge wire from battery ground back to the fuel pump grounding point next to the ECU. This cured quite a few "intermittent" ghosts on my car. Not intuitive, but it seems these cars want a good ground reference at the stern.

    Steering Wheel Identification

    I agree...looks like an M1...and yes, 350 is too small. 400 mm is too big. I have a number of 380 wheels in the stash, but I landed on a 390 mm Nardi and used a short vintage hub, perfect for show and go. As a note, I had a 320I cancellation tab that works perfect into the boss of the Nardi hub...

    Oops someone messed up.

    Hard to tell with the lighting, but are those my bumper mounts for the '74 car? If so, did they help limit the damage? Or not?

    72CSi Fuel Pump Issues

    Relays For sure...there are two relays bolted to the backside of the booster. The one you are after is the lower of the two...hard to see. Judging by your symptoms, this is a likely culprit. I had similar issues years ago and found the relay had been jumpered by the PO and the jumper wire had...

    Cams All this talk of cams...one of the last things I was hoping to collaborate with Murray on...the blumax pulled like a draft horse. His was custom by an old german friend I was told. Never happened to pull the contacts together I am afraid. That said, has anyone fabricated a valve spring...
