A-man930

Looks good. Any better pics of the front bumper?

I've got the control arm drop kit on mine. Can't complain.

This is quite interesting. I'm with Eagle; sounds like the high-flow water pump is of little benefit if you just end up choking it with a restricter...

I've been toying with disassembling my starter (full of mud). Glad I found this thread.

I love that in-depth article!

I have had Herculiner only on mine for almost 6 years now and I don't ever regret it. Sure, it's hot in the summer, but it's not THAT hot. It isn't the easiest to keep pretty (takes soap and water w a bristle brush to really clean it), and I did have to touch up where my heels sit for the clutch and brake pedals. I would do it again.

This is exciting. Glad somebody is doing this

I hear ya there. I, for one, appreciate a project with little details like this. Keep on overcomplicatin!

Gotcha. I was going to try and squirt some brake clean through it with the valve out.

2 more questions: -does anybody know if the seals in the MJ valve are replaceable and where to get them? -And again on the MJ valve, was there not a concern that the emergency bypass ports aren't drilled correctly? I thought I remember one of the cutaways showing an incomplete passage...

You can crank the engine while you're racing and use it like a cheater NOS set up , kill 2 birds with one stone

Got it. I'm pretty well sold on retaining the stock MJ dist. block if for no other reason than to keep a brake warning light, but I might even entertain retaining the emergency bypass circuit feature... Any reason not to do this? I do have an adjustable prop. valve like this one waiting for the overhaul. The stock block, the adj. proportioning valve, and a 10psi residual pressure valve in the primary line to the rear should aside from the automatic adjust-ability of the height sensing valve be an upgrade, no?

Back from the dead! I've added some labels; do I understand the factory MJ distribution block correctly?

Looks like a good kit. Aside from it being "currently unavailable" :rotf:

I'll bet there's an issue with the "return" spring in the booster just not having enough umph. hornbrod, did you ever locate that TSB?

What kind of free play is there in the pedal linkage?

I too am looking for the least amount of lift possible out of a SOA conversion. More real world experiences with this "shackle invert" problem please.

Its official. I've now got rust penetration through the rockers :fs1: Are you still producing these?

"This is why we can't have nice things!"

Back when I was more seriously considering a turbo I measured a Sprinter intercooler. I'll have to find the pics

I've been hoping to try exactly this.

Seems like too much to me

So if the inspector knows his stuff a visual inspection would reveal a later intake. Sounds like a problem to me... Are you required to actually retain the Renix controls? If so you'd have to keep the Renix throttle body and adapt it to a late intake bolt pattern or adapt the Renix's TPS and IAC to a late intake's HO throttle body. Another hurdle. Not to knock on the Renix system (can't do that here without lots of flak :D ), it's served many of us well, but it's archaic. To drop the cash for Edelbrock's fancy new head only to be handcuffed by an engine management system that old and "un-tuneable" (is that a word?) is, um, less than ideal imho. I don't want to recommend anything illegal, but a different engine management system (*cough* MEGASQUIRT *cough*) with wideband support and the like running the show would make your investment much more sensible.
