308 Engine Rebuild & CIS to TWM Throttle Bodies Conversion Thread!

Good Luck!

 

Wow. Ready to fire ??????
Three day weekend here.

Chris, what's the news??????

 

Well, she didn't start yesterday. Hopefully it's minor stuff. I got to check on a few things and try again tonight.

Yes Jimmy, I will post a video.

Edwardo, it was time. I had to try.

 

Well gang, I'm still at it.

It's been about a month now and haven't got her to start yet. I got a couple of more things to try so I haven't given up yet.

The Pizza business has been slowing me down so I haven't been in the garage as much as I would like.

Keep it up Pizzaman!

 

You'll get her goin'

Be sure you don't forget the engine, gasoline, starter and some other stuff.



BTW, interesting new signature...someone trying to wear out some lipstick?



Speaking of which:

A good friend told me the proper reply for asking a Scotsman what lies beneath the kilt:

"Your Mother's lipstick!!!"

(Scotch in hand, of course)

 

Will do. Thanks

 

Yeah, you can say that.

Ha! That's a good one.

 

Yo bro... you finally made it, the heart of the beast has found it's resting place. Good luck mate!!

Well gang, I think I'm all done.

I tried starting her today, and this is what happened.

good job Chris, happy to see it running

 

Really great Chris, happy to hear it running again! Tough going finding the time as a small business owner, ask how I know, glad you've gotten to this point. Slap some snow tires on and get it out there! Hoping for global warming in your area to allow a drive soon.

Best,

Jeff

 

Congratulations Chris!
Great work and a lot of effort is compensated when you hear that sound, I'm sure

 

congrats !

after 5 years and 92 pages ...a well deserved result

what was the "no start" problem in the end ?
(followed your trouble shooting with Jon over at electromotive but it somehow stalled)

 

Awesome!!! Congrats

 

Well there it is. More vids once it's running a bit more. And dyno once it's run in a bit plz

 

Congratulations Chris.

You've been on quite a journey with this project and it's great to see it coming to a conclusion for you.

Well done for persevering throughout.

May she bring you many years of enjoyment.

Best.

 

There are two types of sealing washers: Stat-o-seals and 'thread sealing washers'
According to McMaster, Stat-o-seal is for screws and bolts, to be used under fastener heads.
The 'thread sealing washers' are to be used under nuts and washers.

Does it really matter?

 

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the kind words.

There were a lot of emails, phone calls, video chat and homing pigeons used to communicate with friends from all over. I can't Thank them enough for all the help.

 

Great new Chris! What's next?
