I have a 68 m36a2 with a n/a hercules in it.I havent driven it real far but when I have takes it out I can get about 50 mph and thats it.The injection pump is from a turbo but all else seems to be fine,It has all fluids and filters changed and runs very smooth,just seems to have nothing in the top end.Could the turbo injection pump be the problem? thanks guys

I have a 72 m35 n/a it did the same 45 or 50 . i put a gt of at fluid in the tank
the more i drove it the faster it went . now 55 t0 60 all day long
take it for 30 mile drive and see how it does

you time it right when you put the pump it?? its kind of a pain to see all the little marks you have to line up and the 3 marks on the pully.

I will try the at fluid and take it out for a drive,once I get exhaust on it.I am sure the marks are right,took extreme caution and time when instaling the pump.Thanks guys

or crank up the pump till you smell something hot then turn it down a click

Richard likes his engines well done. I prefer mine rare.

I like mine still twitching, just run it through a warm room still bleeding................ Oh, I like my engine to run well, but not roasted. I need to completely read others posts. Sorry.

I'd put a pyro on it, and then crank the fuel rate untill it runs about 1200 deg under a full load. If you don't have a airshift t-case, get one and some lockout hubs. Or if you can put a turbo on it. Make sure the air filter is clean. The more air you can get in there the more power you'll make, Mabye swap to a K@N filter. Good luck
