Thread: dizzy clearence with blower

Tweet

Hi
rightt then the motor is a 351 1973ish cleveland motor with open chamber 2v heads (they will tell you to change them to 4v heads but that out of the question as it means changing manifolds and exhausts )standard pistons and rods may change the cam if some one knows a no. for one (i know bugger all about cam shafts apart from they have bumpy bits on them lol)the blower is a v6/71 on a modified weiand single plane mid hight manifold with a 3/4 inch plate welded to it then a 1/4 inch plate bolted to that to take the 4 bolts on the sides .it does have some form of blow off valves but im not shure if they are home made or not just look like tubes with a square bolt in the end,and the carbs will be 2 x600 edelbrocks
not to sure what fuel pump to run it has an edelbrock mec. one on at the mo but always seems to take its time fireing up with that on dont know if it needs a lectric one on.
the problem im having is that the dizzy dont fit under the blower and i can`t move the blower back because of the fire wall ,so would any other dissy fit or do i need to get one cut to suit of mine is having trouble with fitting a blower on his

Hope some one can come up with some advise
money is tight so GO OUT AND BUY A NEW ONE please

As for the distributor clearance problem, you may have to run a crab distributor cap that has the terminals coming out the sides of the cap instead of the top. This should clear your blower snout and drive. As for the carbs richen up the accelerator pump shot. Or say before you start turning on the starter motor give the accelerator pedal 2 or 3 stabs to squirt fuel into the blower. foot off the pedal spin er up and she should kick into life.

If the crab cap is still too tight, could always spend the big bucks and run a crank trigger...

make up a block and and lift up the blower . there would be more hanging out of the hood that is all way,s bad ???
