2023 Hot Rod Power Tour

Well going down to Atlanta from Southern Indiana went smooth. Day 1 in Atlanta was good. Day 2 one of the guys had a thermostat issue then one had a suspect diff issue. We were rolling into Columbia, SC at University of South Carolina and the GTA shutoff. Luckily we diagnosed and found a shop to install a new fuel pump.


We will go pick it up tomorrow. We are rolling with a good group!

Ugh fuel pump or icm randomly going out is my only fear anymore. Glad to hear you found a shop already.

Re: 2023 Hot Rod Power Tour

Local shop thinks it’s more likely the relay connector which I have not replaced so….. he is going to replace it and we will give it a ride.

update #2- Made a decision to put the Walbro 255 in anyway.

Day #3 HRPT

@komet ironically I bought an ICM and had it at the ready.

Update- we are just about to Bristol, TN last stop for 2023. It’s been an adventure and hopefully a smooth ride back to Southern Indiana.
