1.0 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this paper is to describe the process of removing an old carburetor and replacing it with a new Holley carburetor on an old Ford 289 engine from a 1965 Mustang. The following terms are required to know for rest of the document to make sense. • Carburetor: the chamber where fuel and air are mixed • Intake manifold: supplies the fuel and air mixture to the cylinders • Vacuum lines: rubber pipes connectors that route a vacuum from the intake manifold to power exhaust, brakes, any sort of motor, and air conditioning • Throttle Lines: controls inlet for gas and air in the carburetor and is connected to the gas pedal • Kick Down Linkage: shifts gears in an automatic transmission when revolutions per minute …show more content…
To access the engine, the hood is lifted by lifting a lever above the bumper. The location of the aforementioned lever is seen in Figure 2.1: Hood Lock: Figure 2.1: Hood Lock Once the lever has been lifted the hood will be slightly lifted up which leaves the rest of the lifting for the mechanic. Figure 2.2: Engine Bay is an overview of the engine bay itself. Figure 2.2: Engine …show more content…
Thirdly, the wires leading up to an electric choke are detached; however, if it is a manual choke the rod connecting it will be disconnected. It is recommended by nearly all mechanics to switch to an electric choke. Figure 2.3: Driver’s Side of a Carburetor in addition to displaying throttle lines it also displays where the kick-down linkage is hooked up. Figure 2.4: Passenger’s Side of a Carburetor displays the electric choke and float bowl (mentioned later). Figure 2.4: Passenger’s Side of a Carburetor (Source: Speedway Motors, 2016) Third, as seen in Figure 2.4: Passenger’s Side of a Carburetor, the mounting sockets are shown. Furthermore, when attached to the manifold there are fastening nuts that need to be removed. Once all nuts are removed the carburetor is simply lifted off the intake manifold. After removing the old carburetor, there will still be fuel in the float bowl. To remove the fuel, the carburetor is turned upside-down and the fuel will pour out of the top of the carburetor. Figure 2.5: Close up of the Intake
First, put the key into the ignation switch where located below the headlight compartment .
i. Step 1: Locate the oil filler cap on top of the engine. Remove it.
Once you have the car in the air you will want to put some jack stands under each side and lower the car down on these, this will prevent the car from falling on you if the jack where to collapse, since jacks are only designed to pick the car up, not support it all day. Once the car is safely on the jack stands, you are ready to change the oil.
4. Jack the car up about a foot to a foot and a half. Use the jack stands and put them on both sides of the car. ** This is a very important procedure; in case the jack fails (unlikely but can happen) you have something to hold up the car.
Although there is a wide range of problems that can cause a carburetor to malfunction, some are more common than others and therefore should be checked first to eliminate unnecessary work or the additional expense of purchasing parts that are not needed. For example, if a carburetor is having issues due to flooding simply remove the float and see if a new one is needed. Usually, if there is a problem with the overall function of a carburetor, it will need to be completely removed to fix the problem. Fortunately, this is an easy task.
The gas system is the location of the gas port on the barrel. AR uppers feature different gas systems. The main systems include carbine, rifle and mid-length.
Many muscle car owners grapple with the decision to replace the factory exhaust manifolds with headers. For those planning to [take part in a survivor class competition] the choice is obvious to keep the original equipment.
Drier gas departs the top of the unit before passing through a heat exchanger. The rich glycol accumulates in the lowest part of the unit then flows out into a pump. From the pump, the glycol then flows into a heat exchanger and flash gas separator, which separates gas and entrained hydrocarbons from the glycol.
To build the second part of the stirling engine another empty soda can was used and at first the top was cut open. After the top was cut open one of the most important part of the stirling engine had to be made the crank shaft. By rotating the crankshaft, the displacer, that is tied to a connecting wire, will move throughout the cans. The crankshaft was created by using an 18-gauge wire. With the crankshaft, complete two holes were created in the soda can and the crank shaft was put through it. A hole was created in front of the can to allow adjustments to be made to the length of the connecting wire. A displacer was created by cutting a small amount of steel wool and wrapping it around a thin wire. The thin wire was twisted in order to form a hook. In order to connect the displacer to the to crankshaft a connecting wire was created by using a thin wire and wrapping it around the crank shaft. The displacer was tied, by using a fishing line through the hook, to the connecting wire. And finally, for the last part a bottle cap was taped to a cd and was put on the opposite side of the crankshaft in order easily rotate the crankshaft. When this part was finished both parts of the stirling engine were joined together by using a thin wire and wrapping it around the crankshaft on one end and wrapping it around the bolt on the balloon on the other
On the automobiles we 're discussing you access the blower module from the passenger side foot well. On vehicles with high-level trim there might be a hush panel to remove to gain access.
This paper serves as a guide to first time turbocharged vehicle owners. It will talk about stock vehicles and the upgrades required from stage 1 to stage 3 and their importance to the performance of the vehicle with each upgrade. It will also talk about minor supporting upgrades that will improve the vehicles overall performance. Stage 1 will require a Cold Air Intake (CIA), Cat Back Exhaust (CBE) and a tuner. Stage 2 requires a Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) and upgraded tune. Stage 3 will require a downpipe and upgraded tune. With knowledge and the proper tuning capabilities
Cylinder is the main part of the Carnot engine with insulating walls and the conducting base; it is fitted with frictionless piston which increases the efficiency of the engine. Source is the hot body maintained at a very high temperature with infinite thermal capacity meaning any amount of heat can be taken out without changing temperature of the source. Sink is the opposite of the source. It is he body at a very low temperature which also has infinite thermal capacity. Working substance in the cylinder is normally ideal gas that absorbs heat from the source, as heat is absorbed
To start with, stop your auto in the shade and pop the hood. Prop up to what you don't hit in the head, and
Direct air intake means that there is no air inlet pipe, throttle and inlet valves on the air intake system. Air filter is directly connected to the intake port of the engine, and together with the less heating effect of air intake process, benefited from lower temperature of independent intake chamber, a highest volumetric efficiency which makes engine produce a high torque of output on all speed range is achieved . The pump loss which consumes the part of engine power is eliminated .Also fuel measuring facilities are built-in,and parts are saved.
Explain the engine operation cycle using suitable diagrams – pressure volume diagram, Torque power diagrams and engine timing.
