    TB Injection Install (Aces Killshot)

    Finished the fuel lines and hooked up almost all of the wiring today. Just a few more wires and double check everything again and it should be ready to fire! :rock:

    TB Injection Install (Aces Killshot)

    Spent a good part of the afternoon dropping my exhaust, welding the new O2 sensor bung, then reinstalling the exhaust. 2 things: I really need to invest in a better welder AND shielding gas :cautious: - and I'm down to wiring everything and hooking up a couple fuel lines. With any luck, I may be...

    TB Injection Install (Aces Killshot)

    Yeah, that was something I looked into. I can't really install a spacer as there's not enough clearance between the scoop and the air cleaner the way it is. The good part of it all is that I milled the center divider when I bought the manifold. I called them and asked about it and they said it...

    TB Injection Install (Aces Killshot)

    I'm sure there's a way, but I figured this would be a good use for rivnuts since I have the tool now. I used 2 button head cap screws on the passenger side through the spare tirewell as studs. I welded them in place today as well as installed the rivnuts on the driver side. I also buttoned up...

    TB Injection Install (Aces Killshot)

    I'm at another self-imposed impasse - I want to replace the self tapping screws that I used to mount the fuel tank straps with rivnuts and screws but I can't seem to find the proper drill size in my collection of drill bits. I searched online for somewhere local that I might be able to pick one...

    TB Injection Install (Aces Killshot)

    I spent some time on this today again, although not enough on the actual project..... :shrug: I read through the directions again about hooking the fuel pump up to power and the directions suggested using a relay for a pump that runs >15 amps. I couldn't find any definitive information on the...

    Haven't been back out there since the last update but hoping to sometime soon. Maybe tomorrow?

    351 Cleveland swapped MII

    I haven't had that in my car for years. It doesn't seem to affect much, but I'm sure there's a reason it's there.... :shrug:

    TB Injection Install (Aces Killshot)

    I did get these a couple years ago.... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VNDTCQR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 But those would probably work better for everything I have going on. :nice:

    TB Injection Install (Aces Killshot)

    To answer your questions: 1) Yes, I have an oil cooler that I'm seriously considering removing. 2) This intake has water inlets on the front and back. IIRC I had to cut some of that hose and made it just a little short to reach the front, so hooking it there made a lot more sense than tearing...

    TB Injection Install (Aces Killshot)

    I spent a few hours working again today. It was a little cooler but the rain isn't supposed to restart until later this evening, so I jumped on the opportunity. Since I got the lines ran under the car I moved to under the hood. First order of business was removing the remaining fuel line and...

    TB Injection Install (Aces Killshot)

    I got up and went straight outside this morning. Sorry, no pics, but the PTFE fuel lines are ran from the tank to the engine compartment. I stopped since it's supposed to start raining this afternoon and, given I'm still on the mend, I didn't want to feel rushed to take care of stuff if it...

    Turbo or Chambered mufflers?

    I believe mufflers are advertised as ID's unless otherwise specified whereas exhaust pipe is designated by the OD. If you look at my setup all of the exhaust tubing is inserted into the mufflers before welding.

    Turbo or Chambered mufflers?

    Here's what I have in my Cobra: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/wlk-17656 https://www.summitracing.com/parts/jex-a3516b-8 What I can say about the Thrush mufflers is that they are loud - that's why I added the glasspacks. I tried to get the longest glasspacks I could in the space I...

    Turbo or Chambered mufflers?

    Having had turbo mufflers and chambered on my cars, I'd go with chambered. There's not a lot of YouTube videos on the Jones mufflers to really listen to the tone, but I think I'd give them a shot. Of course, sound is something that is personal preference, so it ultimately depends on what you'd...

    Help! 78 II has no power to any electrical except headlights and taillights and hazards.

    I wonder if @JackH is out terrorizing the streets of San Diego with his beast now..... :chin

    TB Injection Install (Aces Killshot)

    Change of plans with the fuel lines - I was having a b**ch of a time getting the rear lines to cooperate. So I ordered stainless braided PTFE lines to work with instead of attempting to get the hard lines bent and installed. I'm fairly certain that the main problem I'm having is lying on my back...

    TB Injection Install (Aces Killshot)

    It has begun - although i don't have a lot to show for it yet. Finally ventured out and got the car moved a little, jacked up, supported, and removed the back half of the fuel lines. I figured making both pair in 2 pieces would make it a little easier on my gimp self. They have a rough shape to...
