Worked on the Delsol Today.
Some of the Cooler things done today was working with my Uncle and getting my Shift Linkage ready to go.
[Picture Removed at request of my Uncle]
Him turning over scrap metal on the lathe to within 1/1000th inch of the inside of the shift linkage pipe.
Installing the Extension in the shift linkage.
This is the Shift arm completed, Exactly 2 inches longer, the extension is within 1/1000" inch of the internal diameter and had to be pounded on. Then we welded the ends in place. This should be a Strong shift Linkage.
The other arm which holds everything in place had 2" extended into in the middle, Then after much trail and error of heating and bending this arm, we finally got it perfect!
We also heated up the Shifter and bent it over like the stock delsol linkage is. I wish I took more pics when I was working on the Linkage. Was really into getting everything ready to go
Shifter sitting in the perfect place. Not bad for taking EK Shift linkage and short shifter and modifying it to work in a Delsol. In case your wondering why the delsol takes so much custom work its because the inner tunnel is much higer then EG's or EK's to help with structural integrity.
Onto the other fronts. The B20 has all coolant lines hooked up to it and the Transmission sitting nice with 1.9 quarts of Pennzoil synchromesh. The Tranny shifted like butter, However with Synchromesh it will stay that way.
Took the throttle cable out of the EK and installed it into the Delsol. This was so much easier then I thought it would be.
Made a OBD1-OBD2 Distributor Adapter and plugged it in.
The swap is winding up and Its really darn close to being ready to go.
Work left to do:
>- Put Oil in B20
>- Fill Coolant System with 50/50 Antifreeze/Water
>- Install Header and hookup o2 Sensor
>- Fabricate Power Steering Pump Mount
>- Jack up Delsol and take off Jackstands
>- Install Longer Vacuum hose for Fuel Pressure regulator
If my dad feels upto it tomorrow, We will have the Delsol Running.
