Re: Project Crispy...
I'm quite sure NAPA has the correct o-rings. Why the clips? The rail is what keeps the injs in. My suspicion is when the motor was assembled at the factory the clips held the injs to the rail so the whole works could be assembled without ijs falling all over.
Glad to see all the progress.

Why the clips? I never want this to ever be a possibility. See the bulged out o ring. Wouldn't have caught fire with the clips in place.

Picked this up for crispy! Complete with harness. At least it looks like it. Maybe Ken will see this and help me figure out what the cut wires go to!
Now I need to get a dual sync distributor to go sequential!

Re: Project Crispy...
Just thinking about the clips... The fuel pressure is 43 up to about 65 psi. Pounds per square inch. Sooooo...
Diameter of the fuel injectors... 3/8"? Call it a half inch ? So pi * r * r = 3.14 * .25 * .25 = ~ .2inches ^ 2.
At 65 psi, that clip has to retain .2 * 65 = 13lbs of force. I reckon those clips can take it!

Re: Project Crispy...
It definately is. That is why its on my truck. You cant tell its modded unless you know what you are looking for!
I like the studs on the upper intake. It really makes it line up well and the removal is a lot easier than the allen key bolts I had in there at first, I can also get a very consistent torque across the intake!

Re: Project Crispy...
Always put the clips back. If the rail gets loose and stuff moves around, with the clip installed the rail will pull the injector out of the manifold, rather than the rail coming off the injector causing a high-pressure leak. Note in Aaron's pic that there is a rail mounting bolt missing. If the clips had been in position, even with the missing bolt, "project crispy" would not have been created.
I too like the studs for the upper. Good thinking.

Re: Project Crispy...
I think I overtightened the bolt that is broken off on that picture. But I am positive that I had a broken motor mount. That was the biggest problem! So my thought is that when the motor came back down the rail lifted...
But now that Mark did the math I am positive that if I had the clips in place this would never have happened.

Filled crispy up with gas for the first time in a very long time!
It does have a very strange issue though. When I try to build boost like a boost launch, the voltage drops and it stutters. Just another issue to work through!

I really need to stop working on Crispy around my birthday. In never works out well.
Looking back at the other picture it shows how much I need the exhaust hanger. Look how low the exhaust is hanging!

Changed the guts out of my powermaster 140 alternator into my chrome plated one!
My wife also gave me a new windshield for the Syclone!
And I even found the rear exhaust hanger bracket!
