RMVR53 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 ok guys, I got a WHUMA and need some direction. Since my house fire 4 months I haven't messed with the 87 XT4 so its play time again. I still have a total miss-fire when it warms up (gee...if I could just go places 2 miles away or less it'd be great) so I'm comtimplating a 2 wire dizzy or even on old points shooter to bypass the ECU. Then I can tell if thats where the bugger lies. Ideas on how to wire it? My other serious consideration is a pair of downdraft 40mm webers that I picked up for a song and I'm playing with making an intake to bolt them up to the twincam (cut the flange off a spider and weld it to the bottom of the dual intake). These, along with a 2 wire or petronix might make for an interesting XT... Anyone ever got other carbs to set up on a late car? Bill F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry DeMoss Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Anyone ever got other carbs to set up on a late car? Ej22 carb conversions are doable. There is a bit more info for you on that sort of thing on some of the homebuilt light aircraft boards you may want to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMVR53 Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 this will serve as a bump and a continued question... I'm playing with the downdrafts and will report back on what happens. As to the dizzy, anyone swap an older unit into a later car? (2 wire or sparky into a 4 wire) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
