Carb swap, pictures and issues Post by irowiki Β» Mon Nov 11, pm Alright, finally changed out the carburetor on the sedan with a good running one Petros had field tested.
Was my first time doing so, and what a job it was! Spent all day sunday with the wife Big thanks to Vienna! Pictures here, will have some of them in the thread. Of course, there are issues, as I expected. First, the pictures, click the link above them if they don't display right, or try making your window wider. Before the swap. In a way I'll miss how open this engine bay was! I won't miss the really crappy cold starting though. The secondary wasn't really attached to anything and could flop open at any time, which I would guess would account for some of my crappy fuel economy.
Intake manifold cleaned off. Installing hardware. Gaskets from a rebuild kit. This was one of the things I flew by the seat of my pants on. Did I do these gaskets correctly? The top and bottom ones match. There was also one without the "rings" that seemed to match a second gen intake manifold. Almost done!
I don't have a place to hook up the mixture control valve yet, it is supposed to go into the main EGR valve. Any ideas? I know I saw a picture of a hose hookup that went in place of the EGR valve somewhere Anyone up for some spaghetti? The fruits of over eight hours of labor. EGR and AS systems were omitted. Evap system isn't in yet, need to figure out how to operate a computer controlled valve or find a 1st gen can. Blocked off the big evap line going to the carb for now.
We had some problems, using 82 california hard lines with a second gen federal carb and random vacuum bits from two 82 tercels and some second gen tercels. Most of the time we spent was tracing hard lines out. Found it easiest to focus on things one carb or TVSV port at a time. The amazing thing is, she started right up after the swap. This morning, when cold 25 degrees F she started first try, which never happened with the old carb!
