If I ever get my financial situation straightened out (post Divorce) I may start with something carbureted. They're pretty interesting to me.www.realtuners.com - catch the RealTuners Radio Podcast on Youtube, Facebook, iTunes, and anywhere else podcasts are distributed!

Don't mind in the least. I can get the dimensions tonight.......I got the idea from BBR on this site, he posted about it while building the Big Block Ranger, maybe the info is still here?
Here's a link to one of his threads. http://bangshift.com/forum/showthrea...light=RADIATOROf all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.

Originally posted by TheSilverBuick View PostI may have a "rebuild" kit in the basement that will work for your's. It turns out the Holley TBI I have does NOT use the stock gaskets and such. I can probably mail what I have to you if I still have it. I'll try to remember to look when I get home.

the giant injection cfm on a carb draft cam?
what magic are you going to work for that?
that is why carbs have small barrels up front..slow tight draft trease into big. Injection has controls elsewhere..cams stay fat.
I want to play this game on a little boxer..funny to learn the Injection cam can go carb, but goes slob if to try carb cam on injection.
..I also have the thottle body route, it may make up for it (singular source for fuel).
this will be interesting to follow.Last edited by Barry Donovan; December 29, 2011, 01:13 PM.Previously boxer3main

Diesel..... wild cam = MPI, check. I do have another engine with rather interesting heads and a way-to-big cam, but that is for another day.Last edited by STINEY; December 29, 2011, 01:23 PM.Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.

Interestingly enough, this could be normal, but it amazes me the amount of fuel puddled on the throttle blades of the TBI on my T-bird when idling. The fuel is literally spraying at a closed valve and blubbling through the small opening made by the idle screw adjustment. I tried leaning it out but it didn't like that, and it is idling at a 14-something AFR. Just kind of interesting to watch.Escaped on a technicality.

I later learned, it's the small pocket of low pressure air just beneath the throttles that will allow even a large droplet of fuel to expand into a well-atomized intake charge...
looking closely at the MSD "Atomic EFI" you can see they are using the same theme (as a carburetor) where a venturi creates a low pressure pocket, and they spray the injected fuel directly into that pocket. Coincidentally, their injectors seem to have a 90-degree orifice (fuel sprays 90 degres in relation to the injector body) - the only other place I have seen those types of nozzles is on the new ZR-1 engines, they have 90 degree orifices. The injectors mount in the intake almost horizontally, but still spray parallel to the vertical, incoming air charge. They are not happy creatures when you upgrade the injectors with bigger units that do not have the 90 degree tips...www.realtuners.com - catch the RealTuners Radio Podcast on Youtube, Facebook, iTunes, and anywhere else podcasts are distributed!
