Carb Conundrum

[rockcod]

Putting a Trollhole Carb on a 2F motor in my 65 FJ. My problem is the brake M/C is hitting the carb. I am running the firewall spacer on the early booster. The set up worked with the original F motor. Anyone run into this problem before? Will an F intake work?

Yikes that looks way too tight. Any chance of hacking that spacer and pushing the booster back to its intended location?

 

[Pin_Head]

Ditch the spacer.

The plenum on the F intake DOES sit closer to the block Tony. That's what I used on 45 dude's rig. Then again, we also used a F engine 2bbl.

Thanks Charlie and Mark.

I am deciding which way to go now.

What is that vacuum pot for thats hitting the master cylinder?

 

[subzali]

vacuum actuated secondary.

 

[DWitcher]

Yeah, kinda hard to do without that.

As much as I hated to do it, I trimmed the firewall rib. It turned out to be pretty involved to get everything to fit, it was 1 step forward, 5 steps back. I am really happy with the end result.

 

[Pistorman]

You did a fine job.

What is that knob for?

 

[Pistorman]

What is that knob for?

Proportioning valve?

 

[Trollhole]

Very nice job.

 

[rockcod]

What is that knob for?

Yes, it is my proportioning valve. When I re-do my brake line it is going to get mounted to the firewall and out of the way.

 

[Pin_Head]

Looks clean.



Nice job.
