bloxman Posted August 25, 2006 Share #1 Posted August 25, 2006 Good Evening every one!I needed to share a little bit about my day today. I have found out I have a P30 block and an e88 head, apparently from what I have read (thanks to Verto and sakito for the links to the great info on identifying drive train components) ,that should be kinda good. Big valve head , and a flat top piston block.I ran a wire from the battery to the ballast resistor and out the balast to the coil and out the coil into the distributer today , ran a second wire to the starter and touched the two of them to the positive. Woohoo ! after about twenty turns of the fan ; Brooooom! (can you say broom after Forty? @#$% it, I don't care ,I'm stoked), for about a second and then a big flame fart out of the rear most carb, I reiterate woohoo!it isn't all there but I've proven it will runSo not bad for an engine that sat in a garage for the last fifteen years, decent progess considering I've owned the car since July the 8th and it spent 3 weeks in shipping!Woohoo!Sorry about all the woohoosBloxman Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/21317-fired-up-for-the-first-time-in-fifteen-years/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloxman Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted August 25, 2006 Thanks VirtoYa I'm, well I just can't even put it in words. So I'm thinking I'm going to weld up the exaust tommorrow and see if I can get her to idle a little.Got any good ideas how one would fabricate a linkage to operate three seperate chokes on weber carbs.Thanks again Blox Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/21317-fired-up-for-the-first-time-in-fifteen-years/#findComment-179848 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virto Posted August 25, 2006 Share #4 Posted August 25, 2006 There are a few triple weber setups members have here...I would run a search for weber or triple or something along those lines. There are some good pictures in a few threads and you might find an owner with a similar setup that can walk you thru it.You might also want to check at hybridz.com and see if anyone there has a triple setup.

bloxman Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share #5 Posted August 25, 2006 Thanks for the thoughts Virto .HLS 30 has offered to take some pictures for me ,I will check that link though.I spend more time editing what I type than typing it, I wish I had taken typing in grade nine with all the chicks! I would have been better off.'course I probably wouldn't be a able to weld or run a metal lathe if I had. so i'll just spell check!

sakijo Posted August 25, 2006 Share #6 Posted August 25, 2006 Check the Weber web site too. Run a Google search on Weber carburetors. Parts are still available.

Mr Camouflage Posted August 25, 2006 Share #7 Posted August 25, 2006 Good Evening every one!I needed to share a little bit about my day today. I have found out I have a P30 block and an e88 head, apparently from what I have read (thanks to Verto and sakito for the links to the great info on identifying drive train components) ,that should be kinda good. Big valve head , and a flat top piston block.BloxmanHate to rain on your parade, but the e88 also came out in a small valve version. I think the only way to tell them apart is to remove the head and look at the valves.http://www.geocities.com/zgarage2001/heads.html Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/21317-fired-up-for-the-first-time-in-fifteen-years/#findComment-179889 Share on other sites More sharing options...
