The obstacle (er, one obstacle I know of so far) using DCOEs as throttle bodies is how to hook up a throttle position switch. Could be operated by the linkage rather than sit right on a throttle shaft, I'm thinking... 120-130

Hey Phil!!

Sounds like the O/D stuff is well in hand. Good!

"The obstacle (er, one obstacle I know of so far) using DCOEs as throttle bodies is how to hook up a throttle position switch. Could be operated by the linkage rather than sit right on a throttle shaft, I'm thinking..."

Interesting concept that would recycle otherwise nearly unusable parts. Are you thinking of locating the injectors in the manifolds upstream of the original locaton in the head.

Hmmm! As I recall, most TPSs fit a "D" shaft vs. the "flat" shaft on the Webers. Is that the hitch? Tricky little connection that must have imperceptible slop. Sizes? Could machine a special adapter shaft that would only be about 1/2 inch long. I have some ideas .. I'll draft it up.

Utilizing those finely massaged manifolds would seem to build on earlier accomplishments with MPPE, eh? Obviously the air flow is pretty darn good already, the EFI may just bring the fuel control to the level which will help realize the greatest potential... Day in - day out, season to season, close looped fuel control. The "Squirt" seems to have the edge for me based on the datalogging factor over the SDS. Been reading Per Schroeders web postings at GRM, Neat Stuff!

I'm not sure I wanna imagine you in yur jammies warming up the car!!! Nice thing to do though!

An updated D-Jet seems to be a great way to build a nice smooth and gutsy powerplant for Marsha's little baby huh?

Damn, your list is longer than mine.

Musical Motors in the key of L flat minor.

Thanks again.

Mike
