Xany Posted March 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 bloody off topic posts....... :laff: :) :| :laff: :D just a question about my engine.....since i'm going to be putting the weber on it....i'm still thinking of how to make an adapter plate for it???? any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Jamie Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 well, you use this tool called a "ruler" to measure the base plate of the stock carb, and the base pattern of the weber, and you get a block of alloy about an inch thick and drill and tap 6 holes so all the studs can go in. most factory plates have the middle 2 holes with countersunk recesses for bolt heads, take those 2 studs out of the manifold alltogether. you'll need longer studs for the other stuff too or you could just find a redline dealer and fork over like 70 bucks for an adapter plate. rumor has it you can use a mitsubishi colt throttle wheel with no mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irokin Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 harmonic balancer? 5ks have them? I said the same thing when I was talking to him on msn......harmonic balancer? what harmonic balancer?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irokin Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 why is it interesting? well it looks like the flywheel was mounted fixed and they used a moving arm + machine bit (gah...wish i knew the terminology). Most of the flywheels ive seen the flywheel has been moving and the machining bit fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
