peteretep Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 if its not too hard to change your setup to be mechanical advance only, then just do it, otherwise do nothing and you probably wont even know any difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlownCorona Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 im certain its going to be better than my mega thirsty weber. bought 1.75" exhuast tube today. but ill probably use wrapping paper rolls to mock up the runners angle first off. where can i buy threaded weld on bosses, for vac fittings?

peteretep Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 i got mine from greenlane speed shop, they were a bit expensive though, like $15 each for 1/8" NPT fittings. but it was easy Llama can you stop talking so much shit you know nothing about 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 that is pretty spendy, might have a look around, they cant be too fancy can they? can always make them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 yeah if you have a lathe and the right bits then you could make them no worries. Maybe steel & tube or asmuss ie VG could do something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 i wish i had a lathe right this second im trying to work out how to measure the cut angles and then cut precisely. huge ask when i no longer have access to machine shops (from tertiary courses) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 put electrical tape around the cut line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I should finally do that write up of my manifold for ideas on cutting things nicely. All my cuts were bad ass and fitted perfectly etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 pretty much thats what i want. i see nothing but issues arising from poor joins. and i also need to work out now do angle the runners inwards on the right angle, and also upwards on the right angle. without useing 15 meters of tube, for trial and error. heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I'll write mine up tonight/tomorrow morning just to give you an extra idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 awesome, did you put bike carbs on the 7k, or something different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 7k but couldn't get them running right before nats so pulled them off. Manifold pipe cutting went well though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 yeah I wouldnt do a how-to on bike carbs just yet ned 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlownCorona Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 he's doing more of a precision cutting how to. I think bikes carbs are too engine specific to really do a useful how to on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
