'66 Slant Six Turbo Build
Still chugging along, Bill.
All the metal work is done. Everything is out for anodizing and powder coating. It's going to look pretty sweet.
Hopefully the parts will be done with finishes this week and we can start the install. Then comes the carb tuning craziness! Need to put in a tach and wideband this week before that happens.
Want to guess what size jetting I should start with on my 500cfm 2bbl?
I should have an update this weekend :-D
Hey, it's one thing at a time!
Today, I wanted to get the "MSD 6-AL-2" module installed, as the MP orange box just was not doing the job, with random mis-fires happening whenever the boost came on... (only 8 pounds, max)... just not enough voltage at the plug, even with brand new plugs gapped at .030" At least, that's my guess...
We got almost finished with the install, but not quite, so finshing the wiring-connects and a test drive will have to wait 'til tomorrow (Tue.)
I'm excited!
I did take the waste gate off the header and bench-tested it with a hand-held (Mity-Vac) pressure punp and observed the waste gate valve being pulled off its seat at 8 pounds of pressure, so that's why we haven't been able to get more than 8 pounds of boost, so far; the waste gate is doing its job. :cheers:
At least SOMETHING is working the way it should!
Keep us posted on your progress.
I haven't a CLUE as to jetting on your carb, so get a good wide-band 02 tester and start tuning... The one I have (a F.A.S.T. data-logging single pickup unit,) has proven INVALUABLE in getting the mixture right during this test 'n' tune period of the build and makes me wonder how I ever tuned anything, before, without one. This one is my first.
Seriously... Takes all the guesswork out of jetting.
Now, I'm spoiled... LOL!
We'll get there... it just takes time..
