Doctoraudio Posted October 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) I did some reserach and found out the fuel line is 1/8-28 BSPT. https://www.amazon.com/Dewhel-Female-Sensor-Adapter-Reducer/dp/B00V5Q6GME/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3G8N7XXKUXRB9&keywords=1%2F8-28+is+BSPT&qid=1696295491&s=automotive&sprefix=1%2F8-28+is+bspt%2Cautomotive%2C133&sr=1-3 Edited October 3, 2023 by Doctoraudio Quote Link to comment

I did this to all my bspt threads.... Use a little grease to catch the chips and go slow, then use the npt fitting like a gauge so you get enough thread engagement ... 2 Quote Link to comment
Doctoraudio Posted October 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 Okay, I cleaned up the Wiring harness. The engine bay side. Now, I am putting it back in place! Quote Link to comment
Doctoraudio Posted October 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 Update. Yesterday. I put the engine bay wiring harness in. It is connected to almost every thing it was before, I removed it. There is few broken wire ends. And many of the connectors have come off. I will be replacing them, sometime later today. I also adjusted, the valves. Intake: .008 Exhaust: .010 I placed the alternator on the lower bracket. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Today Battery and starter. Run 14 AWG White wire for the fuse box. Hook up the fuel line. Heater core inlet. Run alternator wires Mount the top alternator bracket. After I finish cleaning up the welding I did.

Doctoraudio Posted October 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 Moving a little slower today. Back spasms, and muscle cramps are intense. But, not done yet! Fixing little shit. Quote Link to comment
Doctoraudio Posted October 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 Question: What about the engine vent tube. What should I do with that? And the Vacuum advance? These have me puzzled. Quote Link to comment

These have me puzzled. Because of the side draft you cant use the vacuum advance or at least I haven't heard anyone that uses it.... I dont know to much about the why... As for the engine vent... I assume you mean the block vent under the intake.... generally that goes to the PVC but again side draft.... Solutions are: small filter on the end... Catch can... Or use the pcv.... I actually use the pcv with my lynx intake... I'll try to find a picture.... Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Hopefully this will link the correct page... if not on page 103 it shows what I did..... Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 There are one way valves you plumb into the exhaust. It allows the vacuum waves behind the pulses to draw crankcase fumes into the exhaust. Still need the PCV valve but great idea. Quote Link to comment
Doctoraudio Posted October 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 So far so good. All the wiring is checking out. I did try to turn it over and that was a no go. So, I took the Starter and Battery in to be checked. Battery was showing 13.4 volts. But couldn't hold a 100 amp draw. Got a new one and the engine spun. So, I put the spark plugs in it. And spun it again from the key! There was no noise or rattling. 2 Quote Link to comment
Doctoraudio Posted October 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 I have gone over everything. Wiring is good to go. Gas line is hooked up. Transmisson is full of fluid. Dirveline bolted in place. Block is full of oil. Water is in the radiator. 2 Quote Link to comment
Doctoraudio Posted October 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Well, it almost started. I put fuel in the carb. And it started and then died. Starter is acting, funny. It is engaging most of the time. I will wait until the battery is full again. Quote Link to comment
Doctoraudio Posted October 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) In the past couple days. Fuel line issues. Leaks everywhere. And fuel not getting to the carb. Starter died. I probably burned it up. But each day. I do a little more. I also welded the holes in one of the doors, form the side mirrors. And I fixed the hood cracks. Drilled the end of the cracks and fill it in. Came out pretty good. Edited October 22, 2023 by Doctoraudio 2 Quote Link to comment

Doctoraudio Posted October 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 I have a question. What Spark plugs should I use? Should I use the L16 spark plugs? Or the ones for a Nap Z 2.2 engine? Quote Link to comment
Doctoraudio Posted October 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Friday, I spent 4 hours helping a buddy work on his 510. He has 5 or 6. The one we are working on, may have a bad carb on it. They removed the Hitach carb and put a 32/36weber on it. But, we are having an issue with fuel at the moment! Quote Link to comment

Doctoraudio Posted November 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 ok Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 L16 are B6ES (210 head) L20Bs use BP6ES and PBR6ES in Canada. (A87, U67 and W58 head) Z series are BPR6ES* ** So P is for projected tip and R for resistor otherwise the Z22 and the L20B are basically the same. If projected tip work in the L20B heads they will work in an L16. * If using a Z series head you will additionally need BPR5ES (hotter) plugs on the exhaust side. ** If using an L series head the compression on an LZ22 is 9.84 so you might want to run a cooler single plug like the PBR7ES in it. Perhaps a B7ES or BR7ES as some find the projected tip prone to pre-ignition. 1 Quote Link to comment
Doctoraudio Posted November 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 Should I run a hot plug, because of winter. I am in NorthWestern, USA! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 No. Weather has nothing to do with plug heat range. The stock range is what you should run. The plug has to run hot enough to self clean but not so hot that it becomes an ignition source during the compression stroke. If your engine is an oil burner a hotter plug can help is stay clean and not foul as easily. 1 Quote Link to comment

I run the b7es in my higher compression L16..... Quote Link to comment
