There's no source of vacuum to help evacuate the system . It's just vented to the atmosphere . And if that filter assembly , or whatever it is , doesn't breathe properly than it's just a plugged system. I would run a pcv valve off of some vacuum port on that manifold . Put a small filter on the valve cover

That's not how it's sold. Plus the added cost you might as well buy something better

Yep , it's really fun trying to read the small print on 22 gauge wires 8-/ Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

That's loosy goosy if it's popping out . I've never had one that didn't fight it's way iff Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Jeff, I would think you are more the exception than the rule as far as being able to run vacuum advance. I wouldn't recommend anyone with a performance built L ( assuming higher CR) to just bolt a ZX dizzy and roll. Maybe your application of mostly hard throttle and WOT the vacuum is not a factor Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

My buddy got one of those dampers and had to send it back- hole was undersized and couldn't mount it. Sent it back Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Those BWT-5's can cause an chirping noises in the rear though Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Your getting trannies mixed Cliff( I think that's an oxymoron ) Only turbos had the BW T-5 (81-83) ZX (81-83)NON turbo had the close ratio. Preferred by most Bolt in with no mods Turbo requires mods but gives lots of shifter options Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Looking good Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I have actually considered something like that , but never have implemented it. Now in the middle of building a new shop I'm lucky to get anything done

I think he meant posting pics of your engine and dizzy so we can see it Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

That would be the ideal scenario , but maybe not realistic for me. Lots of measurements and eyeballing is about the best I will do. I will be measuring combustion chambers to make sure they are equal. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Got one hole pretty well finished - now to duplicate 5 more times

It seems to me I remember some hoses actually being a better fit with 1/4" hoses. I think maybe the supply from rail to carbs is actually 1/4". The 5/16 will work clamped down hard enough , but the 1/4 slides on tightly

Always like to see what the professionals are putting out! Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Maybe just the money shot down the port ? I mean you have the motor right? Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Need more pics of the head work Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

So I guess you know what compression your dealing with? It will be interesting what timing you can run. I would definitely get a rich mixture going first. If you can run 35 all in I think you are doing good. Looks like a serious set up, so I would venture it has a cam? Really no details on the engine?

Cmon Steve -is this just a teaser? I've got a thread going here about this engine combo and you just casually say you have one!!!. Stronger than last engine? What timing are able to run? So you sure you have flat tops but in a N42 block? Good to hear about the header, but I was pretty sure that wasn't going to be an issue. The liners should fit well inside the gasket. What octane are you running? I imagine the head hadn't been cut?

Which L28- tell me more

Well I almost( not really) forgot how much work this is . Thank god for the Aleve ! Kind of doing this in the wrong order and now I am paranoid of nicking a seat with all this action. I found one spot already that will need to be checked with some lapping action. Ordered some smaller burrs so I can get around the guide a little better. Meanwhile I started the combustion chamber work. I've been trying a different tool in my arsenal to get things smoothed out. These chambers should come out nice and the 47 design should make for some good bang for the buck. Not going for size as much as clean and smooth and efficient .

I sold the carbs so I don't have any pics handy of the linkage . Never noticed any issues of piping movement . I used silicon couplers thru the radiator core so it probably absorbed the movement - no solid mounts . Still have the CAI- wall art for now. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile
