jca25 reacted to THORNSPAWN in looking for some one to make a manifold
LOL been there done that!
Had the center 2 runners from 3 manifolds cut up and blocked off.
It had a broom handle for the linkage and no tuning so it ran like shit but when it got up in the revs it went suprisingly well.
Exhaust was twin 2 1/4in out under the drivers door.

jca25 reacted to slydog in looking for some one to make a manifold
This is the only way to do webers...
I was going to make a custom manifold to suit 3x500 meth Holleys and the manifold was going to cost around $1600-$2000. More than the 3 carbs and more than my 50mm webers cost in the end. Really there is no cheap way out when out sourcing the work which in the end makes the pre made option the go IMO.
The other thing to think of is bonnet clearance.The front carb was going to be sticking out the bonnet on mine pretty well along with the 2nd carb air cleaner. Then the custom linkages and stuff.It is no where as easy or as cheap as you think.

Sparky, your right i did take this off a EL Falcon, the car is sitting under my bedroom window and been there a couple
of years and should of remembered what it was, anyway you get the idea.
And, your right on the money here to, id forgotten about the 'little cover on the choke knob' that comes off to reveal a
small nut that holds it in place. Perhaps i was thinking of the headlight switch knob to that has the little white button?
Anyway, thanks for the memory jog, now i look like a knob hahahahahahahaa

jca25 got a reaction from steve mcqueen in brake pedal travel
if there is a vac leak the pedal will be hard as to push, u may find the master cyl has die and is bypassing which is common after bleeding the brakes if its not been done before they get a build up of shit in them and when bleeding it the worst thing people do is push it all the way which picks up the shit and kills the the cups. best way to to find out is to pump the pedal up till its firm and then leave Ur foot on it and see if it slowly s goes to the floor
and as to the booster from i can recall they are the same been to many yrs since i play with them
also something to keep a eye out for on the plastic boosters is the case cracks on them have done a few of them

jca25 got a reaction from Outback Jack in Heater Core Replacement
Here is a bit of a rundown on the replacement of the heater core. It was done on an XD so could change slightly between models. I didn't take the photos when i pulled it apart so these are only when it was put back in.
All the screws around the outside need to be undone. It is also stuck together with a sicaflex type glue.
This is the inside of the heater box, there is normally an air con evaporator on the rhs but im not running air con any more so its been pulled out. The heater core just pulls out of the box
The insulator rubber just slips off and on over the top
Note the one pipe that has the curve in it. It needs to go to the top of the heater box when put back in.
While you have it apart you might as well refoam the flaps. I used a 10mm square that i got from spotlight with a spray on glue
When putting it all back together just use a bead of silicone to seal it
