Dead motor, no help available. 

Went perfect. All I needed the car for was to get it over the hump.

^Could be a 1/4" hose going onto a 3/8" barb, that would stay on for a while.

Individual filters on ITBs kill airflow.

 

It's weird, when I found this out for myself (because some people just have to whizz on the electric fence) I had one each of those huge Spectre air filters.  "This will be plenty!" I thought.

On a 270hp-ish bridge ported engine, one for the whole engine (meaning, feeding a plenum that the ITBs drew from)/ was plenty, manifold pressure was atmospheric at 10000rpm. 

 

On a 150hp-ish engine, with one filter per throttle, I was seeing 2" of vacuum at WOT at 6000.

 

On an ITB, the intake tract must ne able to flow the instantaneous demands of the cylinder, which can be a lot higher than the total average demand of the whole engine.

I love that in this state of complete disassembly the sheepskin steering wheel cover's still there...

Pic unrelated. Pretty sure I saw this car outside a nearby coffee shop and it came up when I searched for Gulf-painted z cars...
