Actually I think the damn cops will . I removed all that vacuum crap and I gotta say this thing kicks. Since I'm no mopar I gotta say this is my street rod. I've been screeching tires all over the place even when I dont intend to and I cant resist that kick when I punch the gas on the highway. I gotta say this is the most worthwile mod without installing aftermarket parts. Thanks guys for the direction.

Which brings me to one point:

I printed out shepherd79's howto before it went down and I need some clarification at the end about hooking up the vacuum lines. It went something like this (not word for word):

-connect air jet controller line B to port on carb furthest from power valve port along the top.
-connet air jet controller line C to port on carb next to power valve port along the top.
-connect the manifold port to the distributor and power valve port on the carb.
-connect the distributor and intake manifold to the C

Now I had problems with the last line. First I assumed the C to be from the air jet controller. Second I could get it to run normally even when giving gas without the engine fluttering all over the place. No steady consistent idle and no one way response to the throttle. So I scrapped those connections from the last line and it ran like a champ. Did I miss something or misintepret something on that last line?

BTW, I only capped the choke stuff and float bowl vent rather than remove them. Other than that confusion I had its looking great.

Letter C was from a picture with alphabeticly labled carb ports.

There is a letter C on the air jet controller, but you plug that vacuum line.

[mindlos]

Alright, I see what whas going on. That last line was an expansion/clarification of the previous line and not a different set of connections. However I guess that was a typo on the howto because it should not be "C". If you look at the rear side of the carb (firewall) picture on doug's site (that was the picture shown), "C" on the carb is the accelerator pump linkage and I guess it had to be "D" because that is the power valve that manifold vacuum has to be connected to. No biggie then coz I ended up doing it right.

On another note, what does the air jet contoller really do (the one that has A, B, and C labelled lines)??

[A20A1]

It controll vacuum bleed based on altitude, or actually the amount of air that is allowed to enter the air correction jets. which affects the air fuel mixture to a point... turn the 12mm nut on the back of the air jet controller all the way out should give a richer mixture.

[A20A1]

I think the haynes manual explains it usage better... I don't have a haynes manual though.

[mindlos]

I got one. I'll check it out.

[shepherd79]

i am glad some one used the How to.

[mindlos]

BTW, thanks shepherd79. Your work was definitely not in vain. I was so tired of all the hiccups and farts the car was doing.

[shepherd79]

wait till you putt headers on and straight pipe for the catalitic converter.
i can now go past my redline very easy.

[Mantis88LX]

man i need to do this

[shepherd79]

ok, i just finished it.
it will load slow, so just be patient.
*thanks to mike (a20a1) for some pictures.*
this vesion is a lot easier to understand too. I call it "How to for dummies."

[shepherd79]

ok i made mistake, but thanks to mike pointing out i got it fixed.
it is all good right now.

[2old_honda]

link?

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Yeah, is that it? I guess that was pretty easy

[shepherd79]

man, we have a lot of dummies around this board.
look at HOW to section.

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Well dude if you're making a thread about it being done, it'd be really easy to post a link.

well here is the link since you seem to be too lazy to post it in this thread.

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Thank you 2old honda for posting a link. I think I'll do this tomorrow after I get some rest. I've been up for almost 2 days now. I have a weber so all of the stuff is already plugged and stuff. I will just need to make a throttle return spring bracket b/c currently i'm using the metal vac. lines as a bracket.

[ACCORD EX]

i am updating the how to thread !

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Thanks Accord EX for doing that.

[Mantis88LX]

the pics arent loading? i dont see any?

[Mike's89AccordLX]

They loaded for me, you have to click the link if you didn't. The pics are on the link.

hmm much better... at the other site I had to refresh the page 20 times just to get all the pictures to load, and I'm not exhagerrating.

[A20A1]

Oh are you going to tell them to remove the choke plate? I know the choke puller stays in place because of the internal vacuum line.
