here are those two pictures with the arrows again,photobucket is acting up,and image station limits your picture size,i think this one will show actual size.

i already posted this in carb tec,but since it's mostly pictures i posted it here ..................also ok finally some pictures of some of the new projects
I believe i posted about this before,I had to extensivly modify the choke pull assembly i got from the mazda,in order to make it be able to work,with my SU setup. I got rid of all the guts inside of the choke pull assembly,made a new rod that goes all the way through the part,and extends ouside of it, this is vs. the factory cable that was attached to it. this will link to the choke cable externally. I wanted to keep the choke warning switch,so i had to redesign a new plate activation switch. also the original guide plates wouldn't work any more,so i had to design an external system for the rod. this consists of a guide block and a guide bushing. the rod is 1/4 inch or .250, I reamed the guide bushing to .003 oversize,that means it's only three thousands of an inch bigger then the rod.
here's a picture of the back side of the center console

Yay!

ok more work on the choke linkage,had to reengineer the linkage assemby, the cable housing wanted to move,so i redesigned it to allow the cable end housing to swivel on two ball bearings in a cradle. i'm going to have to reengineer the loaction of the voice box again,going to mount the cable holder to the brackets that hold the combination timer unit. right below the timer. this will allow the housing to swivel slightly with the choke actuator rod and prevent binding.

what the hell is altimeter? is that for airplanes to measure the altitude?
why is that in your car?
looks good. can't wait to see everything done and running.
Yeah I don't understand the altimeterQuote:

the altimeter has been my joke for a long time, i work in an aircraft plant by the way lol. if you look at the three switches in the center console they are also aircraft switches. there are a lot of things on this car made from airplane parts,you would be amazed at what gets trashed in the manufacturing of airplanes. there is a lot of stuff that you would never know came off of an airplane,unless i told you. if you look at the post i just put up on the painting of some of my body parts,look at the intake tube,part of that is from an old cesna,i just cut it in half and welded on to it. the other thing about the altimeter is i've always been a big fan of Harley Earl,the famous car designer,he liked to do a lot of things inspired by aircraft,some of his concepts from the 40's look like airplanes on wheels. but he liked to use aircraft gauges in his cars,so thats a little bit of tradition to him.
hey it could still be used for carb tuning as jets, mixture screws, and float level need to be set based on altitude..
another one,if you can find a picture of my overhead console,the one that the xm is attached to,the part with the two switches, that would normally be inside out,and have two jacks mounted in it for an aircraft headset. it would be recessed. after i made this, i found out the very earliest hondas had overhead switches like it that were supposed to be inspired by jets. the japanese were always inspired by aircraft too.
anyway,back on topic, these cables i'm using have sliding metal rods,not stranded cable,again aircraft parts,the rods are threaded on each end with 1/428 threads. on the end that attches to the choke pull it has a high misalignment speherical ball joint end. this enables it to be a little bit out of line,and still work. once i get one of these cables into the engine compartment,i have to make a bracket that allows it to pull on an lxi throttle cable which screws into my slide i made,to connnect the dual choke cables together. so two cables and a bunch of linkage parts. Mousetrap anyone?
I hope your engine doesn't shift and cause the linkage to move as well... my engine would jump and twist inside the engine bay so I could never do what you're doing.
i'm not running a fixed linkage all the way to the choke assembly,i have to mount the choke cable under the dash,it has fixed metal rods on each end of the cable,but it's a flexible cable. i need the linkage between the choke knob assembly and the cable itself. the cable housing has to move a little in order for the rod coming from the choke knob to not bind up. it's flexible cable from where it's mounted under the dash to outside in the the engine compartment. these chokes work by pulling tension, they move the metering rod in the carb,not move a choke plate. once i get this cable assembly outside of the engine compartment, it will pull on an lxi throttle cable which actually moves the choke pull bar.Quote:

Video of manifold

dam tim nice engine its a bit blurry but it might be cause of the camera, try taking a pic of it with the flash on or if theres a lot of light take a pic with flash off try both.
its not really blurry but looks low res. Was someone hammering in the background?
And I though this was going to have that manifold on already.
i might have had the camera on macro. one of my usual mistakes with this camera. it'll be a while before the other manifold goes on. i will reshoot it tomorrow. I don't know what the banging is,haven't figured it out yet.
nice
That purple paint kinda reminds me of machinist blue the way it reflects and all
image station says they will be back up about 3 am PST so the pics in all three threads will be back up. if you looked at the engine video,look under al vidos,and there is one about the carb also.
image station is back up and so are the pics also click on the carb links on my signature,and the SU project link has new pictures up :)
I am redoing part of the choke pull so it works with my cable i just put in.

still more machining to do,but it slides freely.

man you sure know what ur talking about, good work!
You do some excellent work.!
