build thread for 2.8 carb to chevy tbi.

[Lil-Pony]

Got the first one made looks great will have to tweak the specs on the holes a little if i have another one made again.

looks freakin'-amazing dude!, out of curiosity though, why are the outer 4 bolt holes threaded? don't just the 3 TBI holes need to be threaded?

 

[Lil-Pony]

Idk the man that machined it decided to thread all the holes, i need to make the outer holes a little bigger so it doesnt matter and the three hole have to be tapped out to a metric size. Or a standard size and i go buy the corrisponding standard bolts

 

[Lil-Pony]

I also have to countersink the four bolts

 

[cammeddrz]

that thing is so thick you could easily do a recessed allen-head bolt, instead of a counter-sunk bugle-head bolt if you wanted.

 

[Lil-Pony]

These are the bolts I'm using

Yours looks a lot cleaner than mine! Great job!

PS I was looking though your pics and I noticed you have a 4.0 radiator. What upper rad hose are you using?

 

[Lil-Pony]

Dont really remember autozone sold it to me saying it would fit the 2.8s radiator and it lined up for the 4.0. Now the bottom hose was a different story had to reuse the old hose as the new one wouldnt fit.

I know
I've got a spare set of injectors with the regulator I'm going to try first. My friend said he saw a poof of smoke from near the coil on first crank so I'm worried that I Fried the ignition module.
