Smart, i use a wet sponge....

 

My other iron uses a sponge stand too, I just don't like cleaning it and it doesn't scrape the tip that well.

 

Just like the old days, I remember messing with the carb on the old 40 back in mid 90s to get it below certain rpm but rich enough to pass lmao. It's a 76 so still had emissions laws, that's crazy to think it's been over 20 years

 

Hold up, you making custom harness for how much of it? Oh wait no FI. Ma bad ya carry on

 

Dude you're almost there! How much longer til you drive it out, you thinking?

 

Hoping to fire it tonight, the fuel injector harness is kinda crusty so I'm putting new connectors on.

 

Season 2 episode 15 King of the Hill starts with neighbor Kahn doing mickey dance lololol

 

So fuel injection but dizzy ignition?

 

Yeah, it's a full MPFI system, super modern for 1984. It's basically unchanged up to 1998 or so

 

Hot or not

 

That's right

 

Lol funny but not hot

 

It's a pretty solid system, not too many sensors to break. Cam and crank position are derived through an optical pickup in the dizzy base. The throttle position is only to determine the idle point, the cold weather idle up is controlled much like the engine thermostat and closes high idle when it's warm. The fueling system is fully tunable, so you can mess with it all you want and the computer runs out of turning range somewhere around 700hp. The MAF is the most breakable thing and it hides out of the path of heat which is smart, even the engine temp probe goes into a blind hole in the head so it never gets coolant fouled. Has a fuel temp sensor too but bear as I can tell in the tuning software it doesn't do anything.

 

Ugly..and sketch as hell

 

Hot or not

 

Honcho? Kinda like the 2.5 grille with the 2 headlighta

 

Was a honcho, now it has a 2nd gen replica body in it

Not much stock stuff left internally though

 

Hot

 

Damn... what happened?
