Well, the carport isn't done yet (as you can see from the picture) but I couldn't wait any longer, so I've started the disassembly for the DGV conversion.
The two manifolds and the hollowed-out cat have been removed. It had been running so hot that it had 'melted' the gasket away between the exhaust ports. The tops of the valves, as well, have quite a lot of deposits (presumably due to the out-of-tune ZS carb). The head has been done fairly recently tho, so I'll leave it all on and hope it cleans itself up in use. If not, next winter might hold a rebuild.
I *think* I have a new gasket somewhere... otherwise that might hold me up. My thought is;
1. Clean up as much as possible, without disassembling too far. The only other things I want to remove are the heater core and the battery, as it's never been done and the battery tray looks like it has some surface rust. And, of course, the heat pump. I still haven't figured out the charcoal canister and/or PCV system, and what should be staying / going. Suggestions welcome.
2. Install headers
3. Intall Cannon and DGV
4. Replace fuel pump, install 12-804 low-pressure fuel regulator to bring it down to the approx. 2 psi that DGVs like
5. Install electronic ignition and a bigger coil
6. Tune & go
Thoughts?
