ep70 starlet, 4ef engine conversion. Done.
Tip for getting a 90 degree cut to a pipe, tape when wrapped around properly will meet up with it self on the other side a make a perfect marker to file down to. Got it welded up and plonked it on the car quite quick, was in a rush, looked like rain.
Made fuel pump bracket out of old exhaust (1E) gasket.
You can see it here in the back round,its crap but it’s a temporary bracket. Also crappy wiring not finished yet. That was all it took, some spining over (thanks to a fat battery from choco) and it fired up, last thing to do was the cam cover bolt that broke, you can just see it left of the distributor.
Took off the cam cover and the one that broke was nothing important unlike the others (which hold down the cam caps) so it went back on with a dab of greas and a new bolt.
Situation right now is that there is a knock from the bottom end, could be anything, hope it’s straight forward what ever the problem is, big ends can be done with engine in situ, fecked up breather pipes are another head scratch.
Forgot to tightten up the carb and do up a few clips, really suprised when there was nothing else wrong and it started 🙂
