Rookie Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Probably jet it till it runs right haha, there is no magic number. If you don't know how to do it pay someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordcapri1980 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 does any one know about the brake servos how many i need? im at a loss on this bit, an google isnt helping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneo Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I have had mine on and off 3 times now added an o2 sensor today and got them back on also got my self a carburetor synchrometer to help balance them. I run 1.6 mm jets on a 234 cam but I'm running a little lean need to up the size. We made our own mainfold. Just got to sort out a vacume tank next for the brakes. Which will be on the next mainfold. They are a bit of mucking around but alot of fun when they run right. Hard to find someone that knows how Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordcapri1980 Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 yeh i might drill mine out to 1.7-1.8, im guna order my manifold from the uk i think, just dont know anything about the brake servo nipple things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneo Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I only had mine on and balanced running well for 4 days and brought 1st gear home in my hands must be a bit more hp there now will let you know how the 1.7mm jets go put an O2 sensor in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 so how have you set up the vac for the brake booster? did you just plumb it off one intake runner? or do you need to link it off all 4 to get enough vac happening? ive heard that 1.75 is the goods as a base for a pinto im still trying to find a couple of bits for mine before i attempt anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatt20 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 just put r1 carbs on a 7k in a toyota starlet wagon, 170 on the mains, moved th clip on the needles up one slot from factory, 2 3/4 turns out on the mixture screw. runs real well, 13ish on the air fuel ratio at full load. engine has had headwork, mild cam, (220ish @50") etc. drives like a fuel injected car.

peteretep Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 really you need a vacuum tank if you want to get enough vac for the brake booster I just run a big master cylinder and use a hard foot I have 1/8" NPT fittings running into standard vac lines off each runner and the vac advance pulses at idle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneo Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I dont run a vacume tank either just a heavy foot on the brake works fine. The first time they where on I didnt balance them. This time I have big difference to the perfomance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
