Rocketman Carb Adapter

[TominMO]

Suggest Matt #1/Rocketman PM Matt #2/mattdickmeyer to see what his plans are. If Matt #2 isn't gonna build 'em, that sounds like a green light for Matt #1, with no feelings hurt. Maybe they could even work out a deal where they share profits: Matt #2's research, Matt #1's production. A licensing agreement. I think Matt #1 has more time available to do something like this.

What I know for sure is i'm going to finish every thing to which people have put money down on. After that i don't know , the festiva crowd is harder to please than theViper & Vette guys what i get alot is '' I want the best quality , the best performance at cheapest price , Oh and I want it now too''. This is't Burger King i can't always do your way right away. I took a risk devoting tons of time on this and lost . I have several large jobs that i putt off and lost a 116,000.00 project over it all which forced me to rethink this effort .Matt

Probably not gonna happen.

Matt, just out of curiosity, any plans to build a better carb intake manifold, esp. one that is set up for the Weber?

It sounded like Mr. Dickmeyer had that handled in this thread here: http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...l=1#post591649

However I am not closed to the idea of making them

Have several of these in stock ready to go!

[Rocketman]

More adapters available now! I did another run of castings.

Thanks guys, my friend and I are going to build a catch can for it, probably tomorrow. Yeah, I hate to send all that crap into that sparkly clean carb!

BTW, yesterday I removed all those solenoids on the firewall and and coiled up the harness next to the brake booster... looks much neater now!

I didn't I'll have to look for the thread

If you have Alot of blow by (like I think you said in an earlier post) I would suggest a catch can, just putting the filter on the valve cover is gonna make a horrible mess with Alot of blow by (just ask me how i know... Lol) catch cans are fairly cheap and will help keep the oil and gas residue out of your intake, or you just put that same little filter on the catch can instead of the valve cover.

Good thought too. Drumnerd, did you see my new thread on Weber tuning? (I added a second post.) Would like your feedback.

95Compact, I like your setup, but I would recommend using a separate little filter on your valve cover, rather than venting it to the inside of your air filter housing. That tube is sending all that oil into your carb, intake and combustion chamber. Better to just get a valve cover filter. Held on with one screw and a hose clamp. You will have to clean it from time to time as it gets dirty (a general-purpose cleaner like 409 is fine), then let it dry overnight and reinstall in the morning. Very minor hassle for a cleaner motor.

I just realized something that I should mention here... when I did the original testing with the wideband O2 sensor, I was porting the valve cover gasses into the air cleaner port. I think this has a BIG effect on the AFR reading of the O2 sensor.

I say this because while I was testing the new 100 size jet earlier, I did NOT have the valve cover vented into the air cleaner (and I got perfect AFR numbers). Later, after my previous post I installed the air cleaner and re-routed the valve cover vent tube back into the carb... Well, the number are a LOT different! The perfect AFR of 14.3-14.9 went up to 11.5.

Tomorrow, I'll swap the 'new' 100 jet with the secondary's 140 jet and give it another run with the valve cover NOT vented into the carb and I'll post the result.

The only reason this is an issue is because my B3 is old and tired and abused. The amount of blowby pouring out of the valve cover is rediculous. It makes sense that such a huge amount of burnt oil, etc would change the AFR reading of the O2 sensor.

Sorry if this is confusing to those who haven't used WB O2's...
