Manifold conversion
 
Well Guys.
I finaly got the beast running..(Sorry no vid)

I have given up on the injection system for the time being.
I want to concentrate on getting the carb working propper like.
So I've started this as a new thread, hope its OK

Fitted the Weber and manifold, to the EFI head.
No gasket at the mo..Waiting for one to arrive.
Seems to run fine....

As Aerosam was saying in the other post.
The gasket probably wont last long because of the eggy shape of the head.

What I was thinking is making a 5mm alloy plate up, to sandwich between the manifold and head.
Making it taper out from the manifold to the head.
Then use the injection gasket on the head and the ordanary gasket the other side.

Comments please..

I can't see it would do any harm David

A sandwich plate would certainly bridge any weak spots in the carb manifold gasket :)

Sounds like a good plan to me. fitting the carb fanimold to the injection head is going to create lots of turbulence around the inevitable step on the joint, your sandwich plate should solve most of this.
