65mm Throttle body project

Hi

 

Like the intake setup. I almost did the same thing a few years back. You did a great job.

Thanks! Sorry it isn't going any faster but I really got screwed on this car and I have a lot of s*** to fix.

Well, I went to the junkyard and looked one of those throttle bodies. They don't normally have a port for ported vaccuum, but you could easily drill a hole for one. I would do it on the under side of the throttle body, just in front of the butterfly. Then running the line to the dizzy would be simple.

 

I also picked up one of these...I'm going this route. I'll have to modify the thermostat housing, but I think I can get it to work.

Cool! You gonna mount the injectors the same way? How close are the mounts?

Yeah, I'm going to mount the injectors right where the horses' tail is. Side by side.

 

The bolt holes dont line up well at all...but thats allright because I need to make a spacer to raise it up about an inch, and said spacer will turn out being an adapter as well.

 

I won't get around to doing this for a few weeks, have to collect some parts.

Since your making an adapter, you could always make it point 45 degrees towards the driver side.

Yeah that's what I was thinking about doing. We'll see once I get a chance to look at it more closely.

I used the ford TPS and it worked fine.

I got the head back and everything is ready to bolt up. Its just to figgin cold with no heater in the garage. Actually I'm kinda debating running a blow thru setup.

from my experience,with going big on tb,,i needed to get rid of the dizzy

as vacumn advance didnt seem to be doin its job

give it a shot,,but im gonna say your turbo will start to glow red

but your setup is different and may not be the same results

 

i say good luck,,keep it goin and post some numbers

I've got one of those propane powered torpedo heaters. It's great, but when the tank gets low it starts burning less cleanly and smogs you out and makes your eyes water. Oh well, just get a new tank for 20 bucks.
