Put this in the correct thread this time....

While I am using L-Jet as the base of my intake, there are bits I don't need. One piece in particular is the flapper box that attaches to the intake. I don't need it for Mircosquirt and it makes for an air restriction. So I'm going to make a connector in place of the flapper.


One man's trash...

Do you know if you have a 74 or 75 AFM? If it is a 75, I might be interested in purchasing it from you. Please PM me if you want to let it go.

Thanks,
Ken

No clue. How do you tell?
It is not original to my car.

I took one but it is real dark. I'll reshoot it when I weld in the bung for the IAT

Just count the pins in the connector and PM the number. I don't recall off the top of my head how many go to 74 and how many go to 75, but they are different. I will count mine tomorrow and then we can determine what year yours is from.

There will be a Bosch P/N embossed into the black plastic cover that covers the electronics.

Steel bung came today to weld into the intake I made last week.
But.... It's 14 degrees now while the sun is out. No idea the forcast for tonight after I get the kids in bed. Not sure I have the stones to work when it's that cold out, even with the heater going.

Finished welding the intake pipe with the IAT bung.

Still cold, but above 20 so somewhat bearable.
Took it inside to paint. That will happen when the metal gets to room temp instead of ~25.

Next week is the eastern outdoor show in Harrisburg.
I'm free after that. We could say the 8th if weather warms up a tad more.

So it is.
Funny. The outdoor show is a 9 day show. We were supposed to go on the 8th but are now going on the 2nd since none if the teams the Hunters care for are playing in the Super Bowl. Since I had taken the clinic off my calendar, it was out of my mind.

Friday night is usually work night. Tonights plan was to install the new fangled firewall shift bushing fromthe shift kit. After thats installed I can put the engine back in the car. 33 degrees is even warmer then its been most of the past 2 months. But I was exhausted and went to bed early.

So why am I up at 3AM if I did not stay up to work on my car?

Both my kids got up at the same time and puked in their beds. And then after we got them cleaned up and fresh sheets, they both puked again. Now they are asleep and I am up, exhausted yet wired. Tomorrow is going to be fun.

More progress made.
I got the new fancy shifter bushing installed. Another very quality part for Racer Chris.

Don't look at the rust. If I see the rust I'll never get the engine in and never get my car on the road. There is no rust there.

And since I had the shifter all apart, I figured I'd change up my look. For the past few years I've been sporting this:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm3.staticflickr.com-1435-1391295668.2.jpg)
It was the prototype 917 knob - the first one I made.

I decided to change to this:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm3.staticflickr.com-1435-1391295669.3.jpg)
I figured a mushroom cloud better personified my car. I was going to put it on my Jeep, but my Jeep will get something else in time.

Anyway, I THINK that I am ready to put the engine back in. Which means that I need some folks to come over and help me. Some of the tasks need a second set of hands. I'll set something up after the clinic next weekend.
