ok guys, I got a WHUMA and need some direction. Since my house fire 4 months I haven't messed with the 87 XT4 so its play time again. I still have a total miss-fire when it warms up (gee...if I could just go places 2 miles away or less it'd be great) so I'm comtimplating a 2 wire dizzy or even on old points shooter to bypass the ECU. Then I can tell if thats where the bugger lies.

 

Ideas on how to wire it?

 

My other serious consideration is a pair of downdraft 40mm webers that I picked up for a song and I'm playing with making an intake to bolt them up to the twincam (cut the flange off a spider and weld it to the bottom of the dual intake). These, along with a 2 wire or petronix might make for an interesting XT...

 

Anyone ever got other carbs to set up on a late car?

Bump. I'm taking notes.

Ej22 carb conversions are doable. There is a bit more info for you on that sort of thing on some of the homebuilt light aircraft boards you may want to check.

this will serve as a bump and a continued question...

 

I'm playing with the downdrafts and will report back on what happens. As to the dizzy, anyone swap an older unit into a later car? (2 wire or sparky into a 4 wire)
