nditiz1's mediocre 6 conversion, SOLD at auction, off to a new home Options

[nditiz1]

Hey all - not sure if you all were aware that I have been in the middle of a conversion build since last year. Well the time finally came, or should I say a fire under my butt, to get me to push for a completion. By completion I mean a running/driving 6. Quick back story. Bought the car from a member 74 2.0. Already had glass flares, 5 lug, and an overheating engine. Dropped that out as I had a 2.7 waiting to be finished. Collected parts for the engine. Collected parts for the conversion. Sat back and waited for it to build itself, it didn't. Finally bought my tix for Okteenerfest so now I'm forced to get it done in time. I recently posted up an extensive to do list.

She won't be a show winner, but she may just get me there.

Here is the current state of affairs.

2.7 - ITB twin plug EFI

Have to address this rust I cut out before I can mount the tank.

Felt a little defeated today. Can't seem to get the hesitation to go away after several fuel table updates. So there's that and I may need a front cooler after all. Temps were getting to 220 after about a 20 minute drive with ambient temps around 80. In my 77 targa with an 82 sc engine I can get on it hard and eventually it might get to 210. Has a trombone oil cooler.

Insult to injury I may have even more oil leaks now. The PO must have not followed Wayne's book very well. I see curil T at the seam and the case was refreshed by Ollie's, but it's leaking at the seam. I think the lower valve covers too which were glass plate sanded for trusses and are the later style covers. I'm going to pull off the rubber gasket and but the paper one on and see what that does.

Lastly went through and bled the brakes again. They might have gotten a little better but not what I would expect from NOS calipers and pads and 911 brakes up front.

Hopeful for a better report tomorrow
