Starting to prepare the fuel system, still on the fence about the swirl pot as the fuel tank itself is already a baffled unit so not sure I need/ want to add the redundancy/ complication, but we’ll see…
For now, I wanted to wrap up some of the smaller, annoying items up front so I can be ‘officially’ done with the engine bay. Nearly there, still a few things to wrap up…
(1) Jenvey Heritage ITBs have a shorter mounting flange than Webers so the studs had to be removed, and the 5/16” holes were re-tapped to have some clean threads, the studs looked like they had some gray antiseize added a LONG time ago that was gumming up the threads. The #4 & #3 cylinders were a bit of bear to tap with their space so close to footwell/ pedal box area. Done!
(2) The throttle shaft for the Jenvey Heritage ITBs that was ~3-4mm too long and needed to be trimmed. I avoided this because I hate cutting up new parts, but it went relatively easy and is now done. Would’ve been easier if Jenvey had just provided the correct length threaded arm
(3) Finally, while I want to believe this distributor block off plate will stay in-situ I wanted to make sure there’s a hold down which will use the Original distributor hold down bolt. CAD model prepped ![]()
Getting closer, one annoyingly small project at a time…
