    Southern GT40 - Fuel Pump Problem

    Most ECUs ground a wire to turn something on instead of providing 12 v. Probably your relay has 12 volts already to the solenoid and the ECU grounds the other solenoid wire. One might think it makes more sense to supply voltage than to ground it, but it generally is better to sink the current...

    Stupid question about fuel pumps

    My ECU turns the pump on for about 10 seconds and then turns it off until the starter has the engine turning about 500 rpm and then it turns on the pump again.

    Balance Bar

    You need to have enough clearance between the front and rear Clevis and the center section so that the bias bar can rotate the full extent. If you loose fluid on one side, you need to have the bar rotate all the way until it hits a stop. Then the other side can produce pressure. If you don’t...

    How to determine which make / brand GT40?

    That was a photo of the original P1083. The point was that the car in your post is not an original GT40.

    How to determine which make / brand GT40?

    I know the owner of the original GT40 p1083. Although this one really looks like the original, it is definitely not. I think GTD is probably correct. I have numerous photos of the original. Bob Woods Tornado GT40 in Texas

    (sorry!) Another question about brakes....

    Here is my analysis of the Tornado original brake system and the modifications that I had to do to it. I have a relatively big cam and I don't generate enough vacuum for the servos to work. My maximum vacuum is 40 kPa. I have disconnected the vacuum with no change in braking performance. You...

    SouthernGT upright rear parking brake MC4

    Yes, I had to mill down my plate to get the calipers centered on the disk. I went to a little trouble to measure, scan, and draw all of the parts to get it to fit on the center of the disk. It appears you have already done that, but I could probably find the drawing if you need it. Bob Woods
