Yep.. I'm Jinxed!! Belt driven, sounds interesting but a engineering nightmare.?.?

I had a friend back in New Mexico who ran a supercharged big block bow tie in a vette on alcohol. He ran a belt drive pump. Kept a plastic bottle of fuel with him so he could restart it. I got pretty good at dribbling in fuel into the injector hat until the pressure came up! Certainly not a boulevard cruiser but, it made everyones head spin when we showed up at a local cruise night!
