    Lean idle. Rich cruise.

    I agree my use of modern was to cover lambda sensors produced for OEM use by big players in the supply chain rather than the older narrow and wide band sensor that were produced to work with a very specific ECU or gauge system which were quite rightly bespoke jobs for the application...

    Lean idle. Rich cruise.

    Modern gauges should all read the same to within a tolerance that is small. A modern wideband sensor comes paired with a calibration module in the plug connector. they etch off a chunk of some resistor or chip in the plug connection section to get it calibrated that connector and sensor are...

    Lean idle. Rich cruise.

    Id be tuning to somewhere 12.5 - 13.5 at WOT closer to 14 at cruise looking for 14 , 14.1 14.2 if i lift off the throttle, and its running down on the idle circuits with the throttle closed on the stop. i.e higher RPM than idle, with higher vacuum and at that "raised" RPM way less...

    Balancer slides in on install

    the fitment method will take into account the harmonic frequencies that are being damped,across the rpm range between idle and redline. they usually try to push the primary harmonic above readline with the mass of the damper and cater for secondary and tertiary harmonics in the operating range...

    Balancer slides in on install

    Id find a good second hand one, just to check. if it fits tight, you know its not your crank and you can then make your decision on whether its a good enough replacement for your application or you want aftermarket ROMAC does or Did do a range of sizes to cater for re-claimed cranks or...

    Exhaust manifold gaskets

    a quick check, and remflex gaskets are pre cut perforated steel shim graphite gaskets.. Perfect.... for head to header if you just need rings of the stuff see below I had not heard of them being UK based but sounds like the stuff i got mine made from due to little support for my engine i...

    Exhaust manifold gaskets

    i have used expanded graphite on a perforated steel shim 1.5 or 2mm thick they use it for the "super heated steam" pipes in power generation good enough for a nuclear power station good enough for my 6 cylinder combined inlet and exhaust gasket. :) works well good compressibility and seals...

    Weber DGV float setting

    yes i think you are on the right track id guess redline US and Hardimans Redline Australia are working from the latest detail which was probably shared with them from Webcon UK who seems to have a undue amount of sway over what gets made and the features it has. All 3 companies seem to...

    Weber DGV float setting

    @Bewy it doesn't, but seems like a potential source for the wrong float, and is also a favorite for jeep 4.2 so might be relevant for slant 6s as well.... @halfafish i just picked up that weber stuff from here.... the OP above was suffering so a quick search of the internet for...

    Weber DGV float setting

    The other method you can use But i will caveat this with its a method i use on DCOEs and IDFs not DGV. I didn't know if it would work on DGV but looking at the diagrams in the attachment above i can't see why its application here would not be valid. operation is similar, fuel should be...

    Weber DGV float setting

    @pishta can fully understand your frustration weber made them brass floats LCN spain owned the brand and made them brass and plastic floats and made edelbrock carbs as well Magneti Marrelli owned the brand and runs the factory that LCN ran and makes them brass and plastic floats. and one...

    Weber DGV float setting

    Ah, just realised I can't see some of the photos when i look at this at work. just looked on phone and now can. i'll come back and edit below as its wide of the mark for that carb (later) added a bit at the bottom after this bit that is potentially not that useful... :) there is always...

    HEI conversion benefits

    yes if you can find one they come in at a mid price but as with rubber products NOS is not necessarily best the first versions from the mid 70s used electronics that needed to be protected with a perfectly matched condenser/capacitor or as Lucas did in the AB14 (Jaguar HEI ignition) used a...

    HEI conversion benefits

    Cant fault that there are better versions But MSD #83647 takes you out of the realm of general fit it and forget modules that's a proper custom job.... $20 vs $190 is the extra $170 worth it for a module that in essence can run to a higher rpm. Its gonna depend on your needs i...

    HEI conversion benefits

    Yes id buy a mid price one where the manufacturer is happy to put their name on the box or preferably on the module wells neidorff borgwarner delco Napa Echlin etc i would not buy a HIGH POWER version from any of the ignition specialists. there isn't really a lot they can do to make it...

    Sealed Beam Headlights

    the landcruiser 80s 90s oil filter is also nice :) fits where a PH8A used to fit has anti drain back and just kinda feels quality in the hand. Also falls into the category of "at your Toyota dealer but there are no customers for it" think i paid £5 + tax last time i take the...

    Sealed Beam Headlights

    and provided your E code headlamps are for LHD countries you are good remember Japan is a RHD country like UK Australia india and NZ so provided the kit for the land cruiser is US equipment all will be fine if its NOS japanese or Australian. i believe the pattern in the lens will try to...

    Sealed Beam Headlights

    if i can get RHD H4 conversion lamps to fit US cars to make them legal in the UK you must be able to get the appropriate Left hand dive pattern in the US i.e there is enough standardisation across models manufacturers and indeed continents to give a wide range of options for an H4 or...

    Quick Time bell/ started question

    cant remember which applications use which but that starter was used on cars with a big stud and some cars with a trans or bell that had a smaller stud you have a big stud version of the starter like all of them seem to be these days, and the bell has a hole for the smaller stud hence the...

    Best method of making dual scoops functional?

    read something years ago that said something along the lines of 1) scoops, to reduce under hood temperature cold air in at the top helps blow hot air out of the upper end of the bay 2) scoops, to provide a ram effect at high speed direct over carb, sealed to carb 3) scoops to provide air...

    Flywheel to crank bolt size

    the original mopar ones will have a cut under the head only the outer 60% of the head presses on the flywheel presume this is an anti- come undone- feature. but i dunno. really same tension in bolt applied by only the outer 60% of the bolt head = much higher friction between bolt head...

    340 4 speed duster throwout bearing arm rod ?

    if you get the steel ball from a truck clutch installation you can replace the flat washer and rubber insulator they work with the exact same nut the lumpy locking bit fits into the back of the steel ball which has a cone shaped recess that locks the nut. you then don't have rubber insulator...

    Sizing carburetor

    i'm admitting i have no experience with either and hence i don't know which they seem to be the right size so buying one with good support from the dealer makes sense buying one with no support doesn't i could buy a holley or derivative in the UK and get support if i buy a edelbrock/carter...

    Sizing carburetor

    Apologies No, but like anything else buy the one from the supplier who will give you the most support and carries the full range of parts. if you buy one that is just too damn unique you will never get a straight answer out of anyone when you need help. Make sure they know what you intend to...

    Sizing carburetor

    agree what you need it to do is key Drag racing is a small and specific area where Bigger carb to the detriment of normal driving is better but its the only time you would do that. you choose and tune the narrow higher rpm range you use for 9, 10, 12 seconds. and at or near WOT. For that you...
