I finally had my fill of FI and ripped out the entire fuel injection in 30 minutes. I was finally able to clean my engine out nice Installed dual weber carbs. I'm going to hold on to my fuel injection if I ever change my mind or sell.
Question. I installed a new low pressure fuel pump so my lines are empty. When I turn the key, I can't hear it like my FI fuel pump. What is the best way to prime these when they are new? Everything is hooked up except for the throttle cable. Should I disconnect the fuel lines to get the air out of lines. I do not know if these are vacuumed or not is why I am asking. |

Figure out where TDC on cyl #1 is. Use the engine cooling fan mark(s). What ever location the rotor is pointing to, respective of the cap terminals, should be where the #1 plug wire goes.
For the pump. Have a look at the classic thread forum and read andy's write up. Do it exactly the same way. It works. |

Do it exactly the same way. It works. So basically, pull the black plug on the cooling fan and keep just slowly turn the ignition until I see the mark on the fan. Then look at the rotor button. That will tell me the #1 cylinder......Do I have that correct? |
