And another thing, being called a pric or a dic is peanuts! That wasnt even worth whining about.

When I see a question posted that even Dfree can answer without feeding the squirrels, I ususlly leave it go for a few day's, and then I browse lightly and put in my two cents.

That's what a discussion is about. getting an answer.

The answer was, there's NO reason to perform a leakdown or a compression test on a motor you just built. If you believe there is a reason, just STOP building motors until your confident about it, then drive it like you just raped the Pope!

Later angry man!

Heeeeyyyy !! Leave the pope out of this !!!!!

Exactly, which is why I said I wasn't sure what the point was. I'm all out of my medicine, so I'll just have to go back to my padded room without it, unless one of you have some to loan me. When did I whine about being called a pric? I said he should call me that.

You have to either disagree with me, or do something I think is worth bitching about first. The first problem is , we usually agree. The second is-you don't do anything that makes me want to bitch about that I've noticed. But since it has already been established that I am a confirmed prick, it is just a matter of time before we will butt heads over some little stupid something, and we'll have words, and then you'll think I'm even a bigger prick than you do now. See- the piss everybody off at once remark was a joke, it's not easy being me! I'm not usually an angry man, but I do have my moments. If I had my medicine, none of this would have happened!lol. Most of the time, I come to these forums bored, and wouldn't be here if things were going better in my life, so you'll probably never catch me at my absolute best, but I usually am trying to find someone to help using my limited knowledge, and, hopefully, learn something in the process. But, every now and then, I am in a bad mood and something strikes me the wrong way, and I let my prick flag fly. FYI- 2 weeks ago, my wife, who has been disabled for 10 years, went into rehab, to get off the painkillers that have ceased to work due to the body's ability to adjust to them, and will have to start the process of getting readdicted, from the low dose to the high, as there is nothing they can do to allevieate the pain surgically. Being an election year, and being in a state overrun with illegal aliens, my work has been slowed down and I'm currently making half wages, at a time when I need to get together $2500 deductible so I can get a pet scan to determine if I'm still cancer-free, (which I suspect I'm not), and also get all my teeth pulled and replaced with dentures, or implants, (which I probably can't afford), due to side effects from the Chemo and radiation to my throat and mouth, which left me with decreased saliva production, which makes eating a bitch and eating spicy food, (my former fav thing to do), impossible. I'm not asking for a free ride to excuse my being a prick, just letting you know , it's a little easier for me to get in that mode these days. That's why I say, if you knew me in real life, you would realize I'm not as big a prick as I come off to be at times, but I do deserve the moniker. Oh- and BTW- although I picked a response to my reply as an example, I feel the same way everytime I start at the beginning of a post, and see a redundant reply later in the thread without any reference to the previous post that mirrored the response, I either think #1 Stupid... or #2 Lazy and really... fellas, who wants to take advice from either?

Re: Pressure testing new motor?

So anyway......
Tried to start the engine today. The first few times with the starter turning it over went well, but after filling it with gas (and alittle ether) I had issues with my damn mech edelbrock fuel pump. After taking it apart the suction cup pin thing wasnt ever engaged with the mechanical arm. Evntually we fished the two together and slapped it back on. Still no gas. Im pretty sure my accentric is on right. When we start it up you can feel air coming out, but not alot. After taking the hoses apart there is definately gas going to the pump but not leaving it.
Any coments or ideas... and .... what electric fuel pumps out there are worth the buy? Holley or Edelbrock(Essex Industries)?
