Whats Your fueling preference.

Any reason for sequential? Do you have a cam phase sensor?

This poll is missing an ........ I aint got a friggin clue option !!??

Seriously though, my roots are firmly rooted to the carb era, that said, I very open minded about all options.

I guess that is why I have a collection of the following: Original stock ecu, megasquirt, megajolt, stock injection, bike throttle bodys, bike carbs, access to a pair of twin webbers if needed & heck I even have a pair of Stromberg CD150's kicking about ( Yeah I know they were crap )

Who knows what my build will eventually end up with

[GraemeWebb]

I started to look into making my own throttle boddies a year ago when I had access to a lathe and milling m/c. It can be done very cheaply, even bought brass sheet for the butterfly's and brass rod for the spindles. Block of aluminium offcuts are not expensive. Would have to source linkages and springs etc. but using bits of old SU's or such like is a possability.

Anyone in the Rugby area with machining facilities willing to give it a go?

Throttle bodies and megasquirt - 1st option

Bike carbs and megajolt is a good cheaper alternative though, as long as your not worried about fuel economy.

For Phase 1- IVA - bike carbs and Megajolt for ease of emmissions tweaking
Phase 2 - engine change - bike carbs & Megajolt
Phase 3 - megasquirt

That sounds like a nice progressive plan to me David

As for me !! ..... Going to have a crack at running the Zetec with the stock ECU & re-worked inlet manifold.
Mainly just for the challenge & in the full knowledge that this is probably not the best performance option

If it all goes tits up ?? ..... I guess, throttle bodies & Megasquirt ..... or will I !!??

Sequential because when its properly set up it works really well, cam phase sensor, hmmm, not sure to be honest but I'm sure if there isn't one I can come up with something .

What's wrong with steam ??

I used to milk cows as a Saturday job when I was at school & used a Massey Ferguson T20 to take the Milk churns up the lane ....... Do you think I could ever remember to switch back over to petrol before I turned it off ...... Oh yes it was a hand crank jobby, none of that new fangled electric start

OMG ........ It's just dawned on me just how old I am !!??

[flyerncle]

Can beat you on that one of "being old,I restored the petrol/parrafin engine and mag a few years ago and in the 80's I rebuilt a 36 Daimler Light 15.

As for steam.....
