Well it's been a slow process , on step at a time . Trying to get a new shop built and doing this at the same time is almost too much. Got the wiring sorted and fuel lines plumbed and tested. The plan was to use a fuel injected head , but I wanted to do some work on my MN47 before I bolted it on. I decided to just make the E 88 a fuel injected head instead . It was going to take less work in the end and I know it's a good working head, so less unknowns getting the FI working is better for me. I drilled the head for the N42 intake and notched the ports for the injectors . I also shaved off another .020 off the head to get me to 37cc. The hardest part was drilling the head , there isn't much room for error and it's a bit of a challenge to mount the head for drilling to get it square. Going to do a quick valve lapping and head cleaning and call it good. The weather is getting nice and I don't have a Z

That will work !!

Why don't you just try some 34 or 36 chokes first? So you started at 30 chokes? I'd keep bumping up and see if you can maintain drivability that you can live with. I know webers are easier to get parts for than the Mikunis. I was going to machine out my 32's to 34 Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

You've checked the supply line from Float bowl to nozzle that it's not collapsing ? Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I'll also say that it's a linkage issue? Are you watching the ends of the butterfly at the carb body and seeing motion while working the linkage. Like said above - if no suction(air) , no boom Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Cliff, Your not really running that filter are you? Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I used that Float tool and it is handy. Problem is that the tube(plastic) is epoxied in place and the fuel started to eat at it- in my case anyway. Now granted - I left them on the bowls over a couple of days while in the garage trouble shooting. If the tubes were actually threaded and tefloned in place I don't think it would have been a problem. I did send mine back. In theory it worked well , but function was limited. In the end- I relied on a set of depth mics and the 10 turn rule for the nozzles. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Your going to have those days. I don't miss my dizzy or any of the related parts to it Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Sweet sound:) Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

It's the only music I will hear for at least a couple of months I guess I have my videos- but doesn't quite cut it Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

It should work and I've read of numerous people that have done it. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Pcv bung. So your engine will be burning oil from day one- doesn't seem right- ha! Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

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

Man I wish I had that amount of time to play - I'm jealous 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
