Chris' 79 Hz tonner

[chris r]

Tonner went in last week, hard-line is all done now, master cylinder was perma fucked from sitting/neglect so they are working out the cheapest solution to sort that. 

[chris r]

Looks the part. I haven't got the bill yet

Big thanks to the local mitsi/Morris enthusiast

Screen is refitted Thanks to Jeremy at bespoke auto glass

@tortron Did you get to have English car enthusiast convoluted discussions with him?

[chris r]

Thanks @tortron for all the work. Looks pretty lush now

Failed a wof on ball joint and drag link being fucked. 

Going to be un os and pay to get it fixed as I'm busy/won't get it done before drag day 

[chris r]

Dragday prep done. 

One new ball joint and a drag link later 

I've run out of time/energy to refit the weber and make a throttle cable bracket so it'll have to be the stromberg 

[chris r]

Cracked the 20 sec mark at drag day. So headers and a exhaust didn't do shit (surprise surprise!) despite the Barrys saying 'it really wakes up the 202"

I've been thinking about various ways of sorting the fuel supply side of the injection, had various barry schemes with fittings in the tank and various aliexpress things. I decided against barrying that too much as I don't really want to burn the car down 

I was looking through a suppliers at work scratch and dent section (damaged by courier/returned missing parts) online.

There was a aeromotive phantom system less fuel pump which was at a price I couldn't say no to

I've got a warranty fuel pump that had the outlet hose snapped off that I epoxied back on so the barry in me is happy 

That's still in the states waiting on some other stuff I ordered for the Honda so here's a pic of a complete kit 

 

[chris r]

So the missing fuel pump turned out to be missing nuts and washers from that kit. Will aliexpress some in along with a appropriate hole saw. 

Fuel pump probaby is more powerful than the 202

 

[chris r]

I've now got a "programmable ignition control box" to sit on the shelf with the aeromotive stuff. 

Big thanks to @johnny.race for collecting this. 

I'll make a plan to get it up to Auckland in the near future

I'll use it for spark control but if I eventually go to the tbi setup it'll be ready for that

[chris r]

Took it out for its yearly excursion. 

Collected the singer sewing machine and the compressor from the parents place 

Feat dad's barry lifting device 

Haven't had any motivation to carry on with the weber stuff. 

[chris r]

So I re read @1963 AP5 weber thread (thanks again for the info and inspection of the carb) and I realised I had blocked off the power valve port with my stack of adaptors so that'll probably be causing some of my issues. 

I found my old cnc drawings and attempted to merge them together and didn't quite succeed. I've been working in a engineering shop for the past few weeks and they'll cnc me up a holley to weber adaptor that (if I can measure properly) will clear throttle linkage and not block the booster port. 

It should be ready in a couple of weeks when they can fit it in 

Gave it a oil change and took it for a quick spin down the road for a os freight pickup. It even rained so it got a bit of a wash 

 

[chris r]

Screen shot of vid showing the adapter model. Should be ready this weekend but I'm working so won't be able to collect it for a bit 

 

[chris r]

Fanciest part on the whole ute 

No blocking of the power valve with this adaptor 

Carb fits perfect and everything clears 

I messed up the drawing/one dimension on the base and it's about 10mm to long. 

Plan is to get the bit cut off and welded back on and hope it stays straight enough. If not black rtv will fix it 

 

[chris r]

So a package arrived from @Raizer today with some adaptors. 

I chucked some studs into the manifold to test fit everything. Must have been a Friday manifold or the work experience person had a go at it as one stud is on the piss 

So of course the nice straight holes in the adaptors didn't work so they got some love with the file 

Yes the holes for the tbi until aren't a perfect match but at end of the day 

A it's a 202.

B the manifold runner lengths aren't close to being even

C it's a 30ish year old throttle body and injectors 

Throttle linkage clears nicely on tbi. I'm hoping the falcon throttle cable bracket will be close enough to work with then existing throttle cable 

 

I test fitted both adaptors and they fit nicely enough so went fully barry and loctitied the studs in along with nuts and washers on 3 of the studs (4th is too close to the runner) 

 

Carb fits nicely now. I'll trim the all thread a bit shorter and loctite them in 

I'll get it running on the new carb and dizzy then start mucking around with getting the ecu schenanagins installed and will do spark control only while I piece together more injection stuff. 

Still need to figure out some sort of idle control as the falcon setup isn't a option as its two big solenoids that hang in the way. I'd also prefer something a bit more refined/controllable than a on/off throttle opening 

[chris r]

Found a piece of Ali in the bin someone had tried to dc tig with stainless filler rod and started on a bracket for the throttle cable 

Cut a angle so it'd clear the carb and let me access the retaining nut 

 

Have it a quick tickle on the sander to try and make a bit of a curve. 

It's still miles long as I need to have the ute handy to see where the throttle actually wants to sit 

[chris r]

Still have this and it's still running fairly well. Fired up with no major dramas after sitting for ages. 

Rear brake decided to lock up. Luckily it was just the adjuster being dumb so I backed it off

Saw that, put the drum back on and said its fixed 

If course the one thing I haven't changed on the brakes has failed after 46 years

Put it right back to work for a no wof no reg run as the other honda needs to go to a new home 

And have it it's first semi proper wash in probably 3 years 

Now time to stick it back in storage
