A fuel pressure regulator, Autozone usually has them in the section next to all the chrome stuff for 350's.  It is designed to limit the fuel pressure so you don't flood your carb.  It shouldn't be an issue if your running a stock carb with the stock fuel pump.  But if you are running a Webber that might be the cause of your issues.

Or you might just need to fix the float.  I'm not to big on carb tuning.  The little side draft on my 410 works great once I replaced it and my Tracker has FI.  :P

so... yesterday i didnt have to go to work (God likes me sane), with my spare time i decided to put in my radio, FINALLY.  assuming all my wires are water tight(doubtful) i can take water up to the mouth of the white.  Speaker boxes i got a RRO and bc they suck and mislead their customers, i had to figure out a place to put them.  O, and the red plugs are my switch power, i didnt want to splice into another wire and that was easiest

I found the perfect way to solve my carb troubles without having to turn a single wrench on it!!!!

the answer you ask?  swapping in a 2.0L VW engine after quitting my job before i start the Police academy in January!!

seems like the perfect idea to me :laugh:  so if you need anything off of a stock 1.3 engine ill prolly be taking it out just before Christmas here in Colorado and then towing it down to Riverside, CA.

as far as a smart decision for my future its hit or miss with the economy but other than parts and travel its fairly cheap.

only road block i have come to thus far is finding some reliable rollers for the Zuk at a good price

My enigne got picked up yesterday!!  got it with flywheel/clutch, ECU, harness etc for 550. 

Its a 94-95 ish year "aba obd1" for anyone fluent in Vdub :P  has about 60K miles on it so not too high.  my cousin is plannin on tearin it down and seeing what needs to be fixed so come january it'll be all ready to go.  the previous owner had a turbo on it that had some blow by so theres alot of oil gunk on it but the manifold is shiny

If anyone has Qs ill try to answer them, i may have to relay them to the mechanic tho

BTW:  my cousin is located in Riverside, CA and is starting his business up working on pretty much anything.  if you need something built etc look him up.  his website is still bein worked on but it'll give you atleast an idea.  exit0customs.com

im not sure yet.  my cousin that is gonna help me with the engine is also gonna fab me some bumpers.  as for the winch i like Warn but i dont have the money for that, i also like the xrc8 comp bc it has the synthetic rope and aluminum fairlead makes it i think 40 pounds lighter.  thats gonna be a bit in the future tho.  i would rather have everything working right and then build up to the winch than getting a winch but nowhere to put it.

i really like the idea Warn had with the winch that bolts into a hitch, that way it can be used on the front or on the back
