Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT)
EGT was measured at the end of a long dyno pull,
with three different fuels. Thermocouple probes were
located in the exhaust primary tubes 1.5” from the
heads. These numbers should be comparable to what
you will see at the end of a long straight section of
track. Note how the cylinders are numbered on the
GTS Ford V8:

Check for wide open throttle (set pedal heights for
proper heel/toe). Adjust for wide open throttle with
throttle rod.
B:
Adjust the fuel pressure regulator (while cold)
using an allen wrench and a 5/8” wrench; adjust
fuel pressure to 7 PSI.If pressure does not change
with adjustment you may have a defective fuel
pressure regulator. Start motor and let idle while
making fuel pressure adjustment
C:
Using a large blade flat head screwdriver, remove
fuel bowl sights.
D:
Place rags under fuel bowl sights.
E:
Again, with a large blade flat head screwdriver and
a 5/8” wrench, set fuel bowl level to the bottom of
bowl sights.
F:
Re-install bowl sight plugs.
G:
Set idle at 900 ‹ 1000 RPM's.
Note:
If the levels are not changing with adjust-
ments; turn the motor off and remove locking screws
and lift adjusting nut. The bottom of the adjusting nut
is D-shaped. If the float adjusting valve goes down
too far, turn it back up enough to allow adjusting nut
to catch (usually 1/8”). Replace locking screw and
begin adjusting process again.
