Five- oh swap into an e30.

[Leftouch]

Most electric chokes are bimetal coils: need 12 volts all the time, no need for a switch. Just tap the shit into a 12 volt switched wire.

Got a pressure gauge yet for the regulator?

Oh really?

And not yet, I'm only running on this regulator for about a month before I upgrade.

Yeh, if you cut voltage to the choke it will close and that's no bueno.

Dude, you're gonna need a gauge. The step down from fuel injection to carb'd is a huge drop in pressure. 30psi to 5-8 psi. Don't hose your new carb in the effort to get a car on the road.

If you want/need help setting up, shoot me a pm (I live in perry hall) I'd be glad to help in any way.

Carbs getting picked up tomorrow! And will do man, I'll see how much help I need when I get the carb.

what size and what kind carb you getting for the 302? Yeah summit and jegs flower you with free stuff if you order enough stuff from them, plus they have free and fast (usually 2 days) shipping. Can't wait to see this thing up and running man

Thanks man! And yeah, Summit has blown me away with shipping times. Though, if somethings out of stock you're pretty much screwed.

Its a 600cfm Edlebrock. For now.

yeah true, if they're out of stock you could always try Jegs. A 600 should be good for what you're running atm. I was running a performer RPM Edelbrock intake, with a voodoo cam, on my 289 bored 40 over with a 150 shot of n20 with my edelbrock 600 and it never ran lean so you should be good with what you're running on the 5.0.

Great to hear actually! I'm a little worried about the float situation though. I've been talking to the only other person I know running a carb'd 302 in an e30 and he was having really bad fuel starvation issues while drifting.

Well, finally got my Grip Royal steering wheel, NRG adapter and 2.5 quick release(no pics of the quick release or adapter, I'll grab some tomorrow).






Found a cap that fit my inline filler.




And most importantly, picked up my brand new carb and used intake mani. Just looks so right, but so wrong at the same time








Wiring for the electric choke.





Changed my stickers up.




Thats it for today, but big updates this weekend.

[FunfGang]

Had a good day today, lots of progress and some good times.

Some other e30 friends came over to hangout/ help/ whatever.





Then Finally got my new wheel, adapter and quick release on.






Started tearing into what little wiring had to be done, ran the fuel lines and installed the temporary FPR.





Coolant lines hooked up(still need to small ones connecting the intake mani and water pump.






Some more of the wheel, I know some people on a forum had asked about clearances/ distance with the adapter and quick release.






Got my air filter one literally clears the hood by a matter of mm's.





Got my fan up and running.





One side of my "exhaust" on. The passenger side I must have measure incorrectly, as it is about 2" inches too low. So that will need to be rewelded.





A crappy picture of my temp sensor gauge.




Got my fuel pressure gauge hooked up.




And lastly just some random pics.








went to start and... Apparently my starter is bad So will have to go pick up a new one.

I love this car man.

[mrg7243]

Looks good. I am leaving back up to pa either Tuesday or Wednesday if you still need help or want to chill and kick tires.

Dude, come by tuesday. Were (hopefully) finishing up everything except the brakes, and it be great to have some company and somebody who knows these engines.
