Refinements Update 1

Posted on: Tuesday June 22, 2010

As started

I received the Holley 350 CFM 2 barrel carb and manifold adaptor. When I purchased these from Summitt Racing they stated clearly that the adaptor might not fit. They where right, however, careful drilling and tapping of the manifold and a couple of new holes in the adaptor and it was fine. I installed the carb and without touching a thing it started with no choke and idled at 600 rpm. Under load I experienced some surging but this was cured by redoing the timing. Mixture setup is very sim...

Break In Trip Successful???

Posted on: Wednesday June 16, 2010

In summary we installed a 92 Camaro 3.1 V6 and NWC T5 from an 84 Camaro. I purchased the installation kit from CCE, HTOB from BMC and speedo cable from the T5 to the OEM MGB speedo from D&D Fabrication. To keep it simple I converted from fuel injection to carb and distributor from an 82 S-10. I used a 6 cylinder Jag tach internals in the OEM MGB case with good results.

P1020882 2

I had it out today and love it. The car is transformed. Power, smooth and lighter steering, which my wife loves. The following narrative explains how I setup the HTOB the second time. The first time the clutch slipped under power. In the first the important item is the upper right stud which replaces one of the seal retaining bolts. The second shows the HTOB in place from the back of the bell housing. The 3rd shows the stud again, the length needs to be long enough to catch the ears...

Engine Is In.

What a mess

The HTOB arrived this week and I got it installed fine. Put the engine transmission in yesterday and had interference between the passenger foot well on the corner just below the charcoal filter shelf and the bolt on the right head. Not sure why I did not get that during the trial fit. Relieved the corner with my hydraulic pry system and now it fits perfectly. I will work on the miscellaneous connections this week, fuel, electrics, cooling etc. Should be running by Friday, I hope.
