Well this looks good! Next project is to figure out is the single piece fuel rail and mounts plus injectors. Then they are ready to go on. Vintage SK ITB is coming together.

Making vintage 40mm SK throttle bodies into 45mm. Machinist was amazed on how square they are. .003 off of true center. These are for Andrew Kazanis as a thanks for taking such good care of my 3.1L IMG_0189.mp4

Pretty proud of how these vintage SK throttle bodies came out. All new zinc, shafts and butterfly’s. I can’t wait for them to sing on my 3.1L

I rebuilt this 82-83 turbo distributor today. New bearing, all new zinc and a new z31 cas. only issue so far is the Cas disk I have might be bent. also Cas turbo upgrade method #2. This is for a 82-83 turbo distributor. Instead of using long nuts and bolts. I thought this would be a cleaner install. Drilled out the base to allow m5 jis screws. Then threaded and tapped the maxima cas

I doubt he remembers any of the details on it. What exactly are you after? Honestly it should be super easy for them to do. Bring a stock dizzy with you, then tell him to make the jeep dizzy look like the stock dizzy. That's really all I did. I also have car at my house, so I can take measurements if needed, but again, you don't need any of that. Just copy a stock distributor. I think you are over thinking it.

280zx alternator installed. That was easy! I found a rebuilt 60amp. Which tested at 65. I like the internally regulated aspect.

Vapor blasting is amazing

Fresh water is just hooked up to my houses faucet. super simple

The block color was scanned and then matched, from pictures it looks a little light, but hopefully in person its perfect. It's hard to judge block color, mine darkened with time/ age, but the parts with none of that the blue is pretty light.

Stroker update!! Final assembly and paint

I would say a max of 300$-500$ a carb in that condition. That looks to be a mikuni intake which is worth another 300-500.

I have been dreading this repair. Trying to figure out why my passenger window won’t roll up. I got so lucky on this car. Zinc is somehow still intact on my series 1 door internals. I can’t see any real rust. I think the front slide is frozen. That’s all that is wrong.

15x8-0 please:)

Tps adapter for throttle bodies or carbs. The idea is to turn the stock throttle shaft down on one end to 6mm. Then this threads on. IMG_9238.mov

You aren’t getting the full signal for the motor. Your just tell the ecu exactly what stroke it’s on.

It doesn’t ruin any original parts

You don’t have to ruin the stock at all. stock dizzy the keyed cog or whatever you call it comes off. Then you need the pedestal. That’s it. Jeep shaft has to be cut, notched and matched in length to the stock dizzy. Then the cog gets pinned onto the jeep shaft. That’s it.

Crazy Les is getting 3L out of a stock L24.

Google is your friend on this one, but honestly I just took it to a machine shop with my stock dizzy, I just had him match the shafts and key way. Worked perfectly.

Some sk stack polishing going down.

I honestly just gave him an old distributor and then the jeep cas. I told him to make the jeep identical to the stock dizzy. I believe he cut the shaft, then he mimicked the slot. Then drilled the shaft for the stock pin. Then pinned it together.

Vintage Sk throttle body update. I think I found a injector style I like and a oring I like. The injector has a long nozzle and 8 tiny spray holes. The O-ring is some Porsche 16.5mm one meant to adapt newer style injectors, but fits perfectly. Almost too tight, but firmly presses in. Shouldn’t leak air at all and remain snug. I also picked a fuel rail for my vintage ITB. It’s the stock that Tsumori uses in Japan. I couldn’t find anything I loved. I will be doing clear anodized on the fuel rail parts.

I turned the psi down a little and it’s a way better finish

My vintage SK throttle bodies look pretty darn amazing after vapor blasting. Casting quality is good, not as good as a Mikuni carb. They should look amazing on my 240z. These are late 70s or early 80s. Now time to re zinc all the parts and rebuild them! FullSizeRender.mov
