Lookin' good Mats.
I like the stripes with the Martini on the angle (middle one). It will look great whatever you choose. Keep up the great work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Got an hour in the garage last night and got the old crank seal pulled out, measured the crank axial play with 3x0,34 mm schims in place and got 0,1-0,11 mm of play so that should be ok. Put in a new seal and torqued everything up. I know the pressure plate looks crap but its just surface rust, both clutch and pressure plate only have a few thousand miles on them according to the receipts I got with the car. |

Familiar sight! That's what I was looking at only a few weeks back. Have a good look at the flywheel.
BTW, I like the look of the braided hoses/sleeves over the thick wire on the background! Looks classy. About the Martini striping: are you going to add the word Martini as well, or will you keep it like this? I would have considered adding the word, but when I look at the car 'as is', I am not so sure. The stripe logo is so iconic! Menno |

Menno Yes I understand what you mean about the stripes, without the "Martini" logo its a very nice clean look. I wont add the logo right away as I kinda like it like this...dont want to rush and do something I regret. This weekend I will hopefully finish putting the last stripes onto the engine lid aswell and then I can call that finished...for now. The goal is to have the engine back in the car by the end of the month and then start laying out the new ecu-harness. |

 While torquing the inner nut with the rear sway arm in the horizontal position I just had to see if I had clearance with the 7x15 Cookiecutter and my 195-55-15 Nankang NS-2R tires and it seems to fit perfectly.  Mmmmm.....gooold... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

 New battery holder lasercut, bent and welded up. Still unsure where to position the battery tho. Either the stock location or lower down on the passenger firewall. Any suggestions? |

With that height for your battery box, you may have to mount it much lower to be able to remove the battery, stock boxes much lower side walls.

If not in the stock location, may not be possible given the height of your battery, then the lower in the car the better. Car is looking very nice BTW. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

QUOTE(falcor75 @ Jun 26 2015, 11:50 AM) Mats, What type of carbs are you using? Looks similar to the Weber IDF's but velocity stack top is different. Dave |

Dave: they're not carbs they're IDF pattern throttle bodies with injector ports (the round holes visible below the stacks) The stacks themselves will eventually be switched to taller full radii stacks.

Great thread and great work.
I was wondering that myself. Looks like crankfire and ITB's What are you going to use? Microsquirt or was it already set up when you got the car. Can you tell us about the induction system and ignition you plan on using? |

I'm using a crank trigger and minicam sync from Mario @ thedubshop.net
He also sells the ITB's I have but I bought mine from the UK. For fuel and spark I will be using 4 LS2 coils and a set of 350 cc Bosch injectors from a Saab 9-5 Aero. All this will be driven by a swedish developed EFI system called Maxxecu, its kinda like Megasquirt but a but more "coherent" if that makes any sense....not alot of addons needed instead its all included in one package. Onboard wideband, E85 ready, bluetooth built-in etc. ( http://www.maxxtuning.eu/maxxecu/ ) Future wise the goal is to build a new 2276 longblock with around 10:1 compression running E85. The whole fuel system has been replaced using Chris's stainless lines and E85 compatible Gates hoses. |

Well today I installed the Tangerine shift adjuster and the shift rods. Since I've never really driven my car much I dont remember how it should feel, Shifts are a bit notchy and stiff but at least I can find all the gears.
