One little piece at a time.
Mount for the ford crank trigger.
Put some left over valve cover nuts on the case studs.
Handy place near the pulley.
Whittled out a bracket.
Mocked up. Gotta get the hardware for it yet.
Then to establish the degree relationship of the missing tooth stator wheel.
That looks like it will work very well Snu! Good job bro.
Ya gotta love a guy that can fab stuff like that. Especially when he posts pictures ..
So this is the Mustang idle air valve.
An older 2 wire on off unit from before steppers.
I am gonna pulse width modulate this and control idle speed with my computer box. This is the reasoning behind the modifications to the motorcycle throttle bodies.
Made a simple manifold for it.
Now that I have what all I think I need....
Where do I put it?
Though of out on one of the manifolds.
Ugly but simple and functional.
Just don't have much space and already have to hide a computer and big fuel pump.
This thing is gonna eat up a lot of space.
Anyone Else?
I love your definition of "simple" for the manifold. As for the megasquirt, after you work out all your mappings, etc. you can always go to the microsquirt version. It's smaller, sealed, and designed for motorcycle applications. An assembled and tested, though used megasquirt should have some value on ebay or CL.
I still call it simple, in comparison to other things I do.
But anyway...
Yeah I would like to have a micro.
A buddy had the 2.2 board and the Motorola chip laying around from an unassembled kit that was give to him unassembled. All the small parts were missing but it was a freebie. I bought all the parts for the board from digikey key for under 20 bucks.
It is my first non bought controller. It seems to work even with the mods. So at a 20 dollar expense I am gonna give it a try.
Playing with mounting that idle air valve.
So far this is what I have.
Not much new to add. Just tired.*
Drawing on a billet aluminum alternator mount to go where the gen stand is supposed to be.
Well you know of course, we all love the updates, even if they are small bro!
Marathon watching Earl.
Something about this seems oddly familiar.?
Anyone else?
Not to digress from a great build discussion but your question about Earl brings up the story of how I got the engine for my trike. A couple of years ago I was at the Eureka Springs VW show and the Tulsa VW club was raffling off a complete 1600 engine with about $2,000 worth of shiny billet and chrome accessories on top of a fresh engine. The proceeds of the raffle went to the Shriner's hospital in Tulsa.
The tickets were 1@$2, 3@$5, and 6@$10. I went over and told the lady selling the tickets to give me $5 worth. She took my money and gave me 6 tickets. Well ....... the two little guys jumped up on my shoulders saying "Wow, you got a freebie! Keep the tickets!" and "This isn't right. The raffle is for charity." I actually thought about Earl and Karma and tore the tickets in half and returned 3.
Later that night I got a call. I had won the engine!
Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.
Well played sir. Much respect.
Don't worry about getting off topic. I am about as scatter brained as it gets.
Working on that billet alternator mount.
No pics yet, but getting close to having a finished part.
Alternator mount.
And a mock up.
The fuel pump mount is gonna hafta hold the alternator also.
Cut the timing marks in the pulley.
Making a new brake fluid can. The old honda plastic is so bad looking.
Gonna clean up the honda cap and re use it.
You're one talented Dude ... looking good.
