I've been reading through this forum and there is a lot of good stuff for me to learn. I'm going EFI (MS II I'm pretty sure) to replace the Bosch K Jetronics on my 1981 Delorean DMC12.
The above link is to some pictures I posted of my Peugeot 604 manifold, the LT1 throttle body, the aluminum adapters I'm struggling with, the fuel injectors (19#) and the bungs to mount them. For anyone with some experience, I would appreciate some advice.
Mount TB vertically or horizontally with some kind of elbow adapter? The water tubes are all probably going to be removed as this really isn't an issue here in Texas and it will clean things up nicely.
In the pictures of me holding the injector in the bung against the manifold, is any angle more preferred?
Should the bungs be cut down? Angle cut? If so, should the injectors protrude from them or be recessed?
How much should the bung protrude into the manifold opening?
Is there a technique to weld those bungs in without warping the manifold, or should I JB weld them in?
I really want to make this a "plug and play" installation so that I don't do anything irreversible to the car. I'll block off the existing injector holes and therefore not have to modify them. After the mechanics of the TB to manifold mounting and injector insertion is done I will tackle adding a fuel rail (or SS braided pigtails perhaps) and a gauge/regulator. In looking at it, I think the existing throttle cable can be made to work with a couple of carfully placed standoffs to position it. The front hole will be blanked off. I'm not even positive on the front to back orientation, but it's symetrical, so I have options.
Any advice is welcomed!
