I just don't want to be starving the motor for fuel... ?


I don't know about the later motors but the 3.0L has a fuel accumulator which would balance out the flow of fuel and allow the return fuel to be used if nessary!

Don't know what his 3.2 system operates at as I only go up to 3.0 CIS motors. The fuel accumulator is for dampening out pulses from the fuel pump. On the accumulators that have the third nipple at the bottom, it is to return fuel to the tank if the diaphragm ruptures instead of dumping fuel in the engine compartment like the early accumulators.

The nylon reducer didn't dissolve on me for the time that I had it (1.5 years).

Thanks guys.. I'm not aware of a fuel accumulator on the motor so I don't think that is in play, just the regulator by the feed input on the motor.

That would be pushing it... I would at least like to get it started then if possible. You could sit in it though! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Come on down anyways! Like Mike says, "It's nice here this time of year." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Sunday is kind of open until like 6 when I will be checking in at my hotel for work. I fly out tuesday night late. If you are around I'd love to get a ride in JLO then (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

So Jason showed up with the motor and tranny bolted in and 100% of every nut and bolt he needed finish the conversion.

Joe O'Brien gave some much needed direction and handled the heavy stuff. By the end of today.....

Looks like it turned out ok!

Ha, well not 100% of every nut and bolt but pretty close. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thanks for the fastners Mike!

In that video, we didn't have the O2 sensor in so we were getting some bypass of the muffler. It sounds much cleaner with that in.

Big thanks to Mike, Joe Sharp, and Joe from Series9 for spending a solid 2+ days with me getting this thing going. Also thanks to Waide, Travis, and JasonS who came by and helped fetch some parts and did a little wrenching themselves. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I'm a happy camper ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I still have a list of things to do before RRC11 but its all doable, just hope not to hit any major snags!

It is a Triad sport, dual tip. It was pretty raspy and I thought, oh oh... the neighbors are going to kill me. But then Joe remembered we had an open bung on one side. It sounds really nice.

QUESTION 5 (I think) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Background on my throttle cable: When I removed my old one, the ball socket was attached normally, but then the wire actually ran (or was wedged) between the pedal board support and the accel pedal spring (to the right of the pedal. That seemed wrong to me (unless they did that to get it out of the way). The throttle worked fine.

So I installed my -6 throttle cable and just let it float back into the tunnel. The throttle works fine but I can hear some squeaking etc in the tunnel, mostly near the top, as though it is rubbing on something. I am sure it is not crossed with the clutch cable as I did the clutch test and got no revs.

QUESTION: Is there a specific place to route this cable up by the pedal? As for squeaking, maybe shoot some WD40 or similar up the cable tube from the engine bay?

Thanks!
