Yesterday, with some help from my 2 boys, I got my '76 2.0 short block on the engine run stand. I need help setting it up. It's late 2.0, complete, all stock, EFI. I'm looking for any info, any help at all. I've read few dozen threads about engine stands, but most of them deal with yokes, adapters and such. I need help with wiring and actually test running the engine. If local guys can stop by this long weekend and land me a hand, you'd really do me a solid and I'll return the favor. I'll serve beer of your choice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I did the valve adjustment today and remeasured. I feel a lit bit better about #1, may be it is alive. Now if I could only find my MPS and decel valve to complete the setup (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) .
#1 - 65psi (was 40psi) #2 - 80psi (was 70pis) #3 - 70psi (was 70pis) #4 - 70psi (was 70pis) |

Now if I could only find my MPS and decel valve to complete the setup (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . #1 - 65psi (was 40psi) #2 - 80psi (was 70pis) #3 - 70psi (was 70pis) #4 - 70psi (was 70pis) Was the engine warm and the throttle wide open when you did these? If so, those are terrible numbers. You want to see a minimum of ~95 psi, and at 90 you start buying what you need for a rebuild. If the engine was cold, the numbers should come up some when it is warm, but I don't know that they would come up 30 psi. Zach |
