banzai510(hainz) Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 if possible find a L20 and just bolt some 40mm sidedrafts on there and Ill bet youll like it. As for the Nitrous one needs to retard the distributor right when you hit the button otherwise it will pop a piston. 1 Quote Link to comment

I just think hes getting in over his head looking at a ka swap or even a full engine build.... Personally Dp I'd be looking at doing a efi upgrade on the L16 and finding a 5spd.... 1 Quote Link to comment

Hell I could fumble my way through it like everything else I have done with this truck. 😄 EFI on an L16? Looking for 5 speeds right now on car-part but trying to decide which is the right one to get. 1 Quote Link to comment

Looking for 5 speeds right now on car-part but trying to decide which is the right one to get. Any L series 5 spd will work. .. or find the 84/85 720 and do the bellhousing swap..... As far as efi..... they make side draft efi throttle bodies but you would need an intake and management system..... One guy, 510revisited in the project threads, is currently trying to install the new holley sniper efi on the L series downdraft intake..... It's a complete 2 barrel standalone unit.... ready to run for about $950.... The only hurdle seems to be needing an adapter which he is fabricating .... And you need to up the fuel pressure and add a return line.... 1 Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted June 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) I really just need something else to do with this truck as I am running out of options. I think I saw that EFI thread somewhere but have lost track of it. I will let someone else guinea pig that before I make a move on it. Edited June 19, 2019 by d.p 2 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 That's why I suggest the efi.... If I wasnt so invested in my single side draft weber I would have seriously considered this sniper efi unit..... https://ratsun.net/topic/74398-just-another-look-at-me-69-dime-build-thread/page/11/ Take a look, last page shows him mocking it up on the adapter hes working on.... 2 Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Yes they are about the same. I think 230 mm. Something like that. 1 Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 They do, yes. Adapters and some fuckery with the horn are required. 1 Quote Link to comment

Just get some lube on them, twist and turn them and work them in.... things like that are a pain in the ass.... the ones that go in the fenders for the hood are just as bad.... 1 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Do you have a set of measuring calipers? You can check the hole in the bumper vs the stem diameter..... 1 Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted July 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) Yeah I do, but I can tell by just looking at them the base is way bigger then the hole. I tried natures lube (spit) to no avail. One side is cutting into the rubber so much at its about to sever it. The ones on the rear bumper are huge where the sit flush with the bumper and nearly impossible, I got the driver side one in like 95% but the passenger doesn't want to comply at all. Yeah those hood ones are a PITA so much that I lost one because I couldn't get it in far enough. Edited July 6, 2019 by d.p 1 Quote Link to comment
