March 12, 200818 yr what are you doing about blocking the original throttle body? Wouldnt that create a huge vacuum leak? This entire project is brilliant! SJR DOES IT AGAIN!

March 13, 200818 yr Scott, are you considering producing manifolds for weber carbs 32/36 carbs? Or if someone was to sent you their ej22 intake would you prep it so all we'd have to do is bolt a carb on?

March 14, 200818 yr What are the mods to the distributor? from what I see you cut the (keys) so they fit into the cam.
March 14, 200818 yr There are no mods. Everything is plug & play. Or should be from the other discussions ive read.
March 14, 200818 yr There are no mods. Everything is plug & play. Or should be from the other discussions ive read. Scott talks about mods to the distributor. I see now that what he's talking about is the grey electronic thing that is usually on the distibutor is rewired so it can now be mounted elswhere. (I can't think of the name right now even though I had to buy one once for a bronco II I used to own ( cost about 60 bucks!).)
March 14, 200818 yr Looking good Scott! Cant wait to hear that thing run!! Will be doing this swap here soon! I really want to see this at walker but dont know if I can make it.
March 14, 200818 yr Author the dusty is modified, the tang comes square and its been ground arced and the mounting holes, slots have been inlarged thats it,
