That is very true. I'm hoping my interest in this project will overcome my anxieties and let me be more social. Adam Savage once said that he had a young fan approach him to ask a question, but he (the young fan) was unable to get the words out because he was too nervous, but his love for science and knowledge pushed him through his anxieties and let him ask his question. I'm hoping something like that happens to me.
Or, ya know... amazon delivers pretty much everything now-a-days.
I could go on and on about my problems, but that isn't what you came here for.
The only things I
have to do/buy (as opposed to potential additions to the project or just nice-to-haves) before I get to wait a month or more for warmth are:
Buy:
- 5/16" ID fuel injection hose, at least 2 or 3 feet
- 5/16" ID fuel injection hose clamps
- 1/8" npt to 3/16" ID hose barb, for manifold vacuum port
- 21/64" (Q) drill bit, for 1/8" npt tap
- dielectric grease
- o2 sensor bung
- 5/16" hose barb bulkhead fitting, for fuel return into fuel tank
- fuel pressure gauge, not absolutely mandatory but I'd really like to know the pressure of the fuel being delivered to the injector
- sealing/spacing washers from mcmaster carr
- rearsets
Do:
- run fuel hoses: tank->filter, filter->pump inlet, pump return->tank, regulated pressure out->4-way fitting (pressure gauge and bleeder), 4-way fitting->injector
- drill and tap hole for manifold vacuum port, install fitting
- run vacuum line from manifold to fuel pump/pressure regulator
- dielectric grease on most connectors
- drill hole for o2 sensor bung, get said bung welded-in
- drill hole for, and install bulkhead fitting on fuel tank
- temporarily install exhaust with sealing washers
- fabricobble exhaust hanger
- sync timing between engine and ecu, might not be possible without engine running
- install rearsets
- eat
- sleep
- poop
- wait
