New engine and air fuel ratio gauge

Hi Greg, congrats on your expanding family news. Sure it's not a good time to consider a syncro caravelle? Another option wuold be a his and hers syncro . See how good you are at getting that one passed the finance police!
To answer your question , I am in and aruond the burbs pretty much every day so just let me know the days that would best suit you . Call or text on 0413585530 if you like. Eddie.

Hey Greg, just finished installing the switch & gotta say it works an absolute treat! Reacts quicker than I had expected about 1-2 seconds from hitting the go pedal to seeing a richer mixture . Not enough to see best ET's down the quarter mile but certainly enough to make up for some of digifant's shortcomings. Still have to do some highway testing but real impressed so far. Eddie.

Very happy to hear that Eddie. Did it take long to get the ideal vacuum switching point sorted? Did you end up running my vacuum gauge up front to do it? If so care to share what inches of mercury you set it at? Greg E

Did a quick check of vacuum at the fuel pressure regulator and took an educated (dumb?) guess that where you set it was a good starting point. With the 2 analogue out signals I programmed them both so they dont have much choice in afr's. For example the rich circuit I have .1v=13afr and 1.1v=13.1afr. this seems to limit the amount of straying from my prefered values. With the gauge as a guide it's easy to regulate when you want to run rich or lean so the the exact switching point doesn't seem too critical at this early stage. Is your engine together yet or have your kids claimed all your time? Eddie.

Thats exactly what I was thinking I would do. Rich side set to 12.8- 13.2 and cruise set to 14.5 ish may be leaner.
Yeah the kids are definately eating up all my quality syncro time. Really frustrated now because I have everything ready to go but no time to do it. I have the cases preped, the rods and cam are clearanced. The pistons are back from the machinist. Crank is assembled. Ported and replaced guides in one head and half way through the other. I reconditioned the starter and replaced the cross shaft and bushes whilst the trany is out. Soooooo just need a free day to get the crazy glue out and put the cases together...

Greg,Eddie,
I'm missing out on all this. When we are back in Melbourne I'll have to
catch up with what you have done.
I'm basically happy with my set-up,definately more gruunt, did not get
stuck on Fraser I. in the sand like last time.
But the Idle is still an issue.
Cheers,
Theo & Chris
