Hello again, all.
I put a test gauge (that I can see when I'm driving) on my T and went for a ride.
Here's what I found:
Hose off pressure: 45-46PSI (depending on which gauge)
(1) Base highway speed Cruise pressure was 38-40 PSI.
(2) Mat pedal to WOT, 14-15PSI boost: 60-62PSI
(3) First Shift, boost same, fuel pressure drops to 58 PSI
(4) Next Shift, boost same, fuel pressure drops to 55-56 PSI and does NOT drop.
Of course, by that time I'm going WAY too fast....speedo pegged and then some, so I backed out.
From what I've gathered in four good hard passes, the pressure drops to 55-56 PSI at it's lowest point.
That is "1 lb. per lb. of boost....".
The lowest the O2's got were 750-760 right before I let out.
What do you all think?
I'm thinking everything is A-OK.
I do have another issue but I'll post that in another thread.
Thanks a bunch in advance for taking the time to comment!
