32/34dmtl kit showed up today. Got it all put together.
Pulled the old 34ich and intake off and cleaned everything up for the new
mainifold. The 2.5 is designed to bolt to the exhaust just like the 2.25,
bonus I figure.
Nope, POS has a larger bolt pattern. Would have to remove large amounts of
aluminium to be able to bolt a flat plat to the top of the exhaust and still
be able to fit the intake, like about 3/8-1/2 inch. Or I could drill new
holes in the intake. EIther way, it's a bodge an a half.
So just went ahead and cleaned up the 2.25 intake, replaced all the gaskets
and put it back on. I removed everyfitting from the intake and carb and
plugged em up. No vacuum leaks anywhere. Drove around the block, ran
great. Had the mixture screw at 2 turns, idle at 2-1/2. Shut down. Got my
wallet to go get some fuel. Started, but wouldn't keep an idel...step on
the gas and it dies. Aaargh. Screw the idle screw in about 5 full turns
and it almost stays running. Stalls out at lights, but accelerates fine.
f-ing POS...hahahaha
Ahhwell, guess its time for a pierce and a 32/36dvg or the ACR intake with
the SU setup. They recomend it with their head and cam, so might as well
order everything from one place. Pretty strange to see a side draft in a
series though.
