Good timing Bob - it has been getting pretty quiet in here!

Use a 308/308L filler material and use a tri-mix shielding gas or an argon blend such as 98-2 Ar-O2 or 95-2/95-5 Ar-CO2 and it should work just fine.

PIG is going to work. If I mig weld it I will use 98-2. I might tig this one. May take longer but will look much nicer. Jmack knows.

Thanks Bob

god I miss welding stainless...budder...

This is amazing. But you got me thinking... If you are going through all the trouble of making a bunch of patch panels, cutting, welding, grinding etc. Might be less work in the long run to fly to Japan and find the fj55 body press blanks and just make the entire pig out of stainless. Might be heavier but they don't call it a pig for nothing! I bet it would take less time...

Is she going to make the party?

 

[bobm]

No we're taking Ole Blue.

 

[scrapdaddy]

That's right, got my pigs mixed up.

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

keep that ol mill oiled!

 

[bobm]

Runs good. Crappy carb. Rochester!

 

[bobm]

Lipstick got a new carb. Anyone want a Rochester?

 

[bobm]

Need new accelerator and choke cables. Any ideas?

 

[61twpw]

Bob, I'll take some pics of how I did mine. Looks like the same carb., although mine is a chinese knockoff. But for $85 new I decided to try it. Seems good so far. Pics to follow. Bill

 

[bobm]

Thank you sir.

I used a connecter and screws to hold the cables in place. Cut a slot in accerlerator connector because the cable had a swedged on lead piece.

 

[61twpw]

The bracket is attached to the valve cover

 

[61twpw]

Cut connecter in half for the choke cable. The carb had a choke cable hold down. Used a 1/8" bit for drilling holes.

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

Accel cables are a toughy...SOR had a used one I am still milking...Might look into the more generic type aircraft type cable if I don't just bolt on an EFI manifold and TB...or you can build adrive by wire module with an arduino, a potentiometer, and a servo...
