Ask David and Farrar: Technical Questions and Advice About Carbureting a DeLorean

[EarlHickey]

Douchebaggery.

Actually we still need pics to answer your question about the intake manifold you have. You are right, most of these questions are easy to figure out - get your digital calipers and measure the thickness of a T/A shim. So far you haven't even proven you have a DeLorean and you just seem like a troll crapping all over this board. I could be wrong, but I'll believe it when I start seeing actual results, YOUR REAL NAME, and not a bunch of boasting.

Mr Andy 82DMC12,

I can't say I'm flattered to bother you so greatly.

I did indeed ask specifically about a stock DMC manifold, which I do not currently have, but, will purchase one in due time and if I knew YOUR REAL NAME, I'd make sure I didn't buy anything from you. I don't really care about the one on my car and just maybe, I'll modify it for the purpose of pulse tuning, so you'll just have to do without pix because I've no interest in selling it and it's origin is of no concern to me. If you don't know specifics the stocker, that's fine. You owe me nothing.

Good Day,

EarlHickey

if I knew YOUR REAL NAME

Is Earl Hickey your real name?

[82DMC12]

No, he is just toying with you.

Earl, how is Blue Bumper coming along?

[DCUK Martin]

I've been banned from better forums.

Says it all, if you think about it.

I vote that my name be put in the title of this thread.

Well ask David and Farrar.........

Today I received the following message from Mr. Earl Hickey himself. I wanted to post it in the open discussion thread but it seems a previous moderator closed all of the Earl Hickey threads.

Hey Cupcake
It's much more likely that my REAL NAME is Earl Hickey than yours is stevedmc.


Good luck pimping out your ride on ebay and I'm not the least bit surprised you are completely unaware how very easily you could TBI your short runner'd dual plane reversion monster intake.

I'll be charitable however and tell you that reversion is why your air filter is often wet with gas and that you should also, just because I said so, increase the bowl venting on your primitive fuel metering device.

It does often have raw fuel standing in the air filter housing, doesn't it. Try looking, carefully study my posts, and maybe you can figure out why.

Would you like for me to tell you the three rpm ranges that it spits raw fuel out the top of your carb's airhorn?

Would you like for me to tell you how to cure it and the occasional rough bucking or jerking, no matter how slight?

See, I could have a goofy nick like yours and it would make what I type to you no less correct or substantive.

Maybe you will prove intelligent enough to actually realize I know what I'm talking about.

In the mean time, it would appear you'd do better for yourself if you refrained from constantly trying to be "cute".

I doubt anyone that made the connection would find how you present here to be that of anyone they wanted to buy anything from or even rent their car.

hm, i pity someone who has to be that condescending to everyone in order to make himself feel superior. seems to me like there are other underlying personal issues that are the source of such negativity.

Frankly the guy is just a plain jerk. I don't know why anyone ever thought this guy to be Bill. Amazingly though, Earl hasn't been banned.

Anyway, to respond to Earl I will say that my air filter is fine.

I have been saying for years that TBI is the route I would take if I ever were to go back to fuel injection on the Delorean.

Also, It is pretty obvious to everyone that my real name is not Stevedmc. My name (Steve Rice) and location (Baton Rouge) are included in every post I make on this forum.
