BR 580 Track Results

Yes, but you won't need the EGR spacer. BTW I broke the shaft on mine last night at the track. This was my second one. I need to put a throttle stop on the pedal. I will probablly get the Holley this time.

Thats too bad. That pedal end stop sounds like a good idea if you are breaking levers.


Check this thing! A holley.

Making a pedal stop is pretty much required when you use one of the ford TBs. Everyone I talk to that ran any brand TB without a stop broke the shaft eventually.
BTW BBKs seem to break more often than other brands FWIW.

Hey this just hit me

Ever see a cable mounted adjustable stop?

It clamps to the cable via allen screws and when retracted fully contacts the sleeve?

That might work and be simple.

 

[jabraham]

Yeah I had a BBK the first time and Eldebrock the second time. They are actually the same except for the writing. I have a friend who is selling me an Accufab which has a billet shaft. I shoudn't have to worry about it breaking but I'm still going to use a stop.

 

[MNGSX]

Was that extreme manifold portmatched to the head?

 

[jabraham]

It comes gasket matched. My head was also gasket matched so the answer would be yes.

 

[loreak]

how does the car idle without the isc, is there something else on the ford TB that keeps it idling?

 

[MNGSX]

He has FAST. Just wire it to the ford ISC. FAST is more likely to be seen on a mustang anyway so it can be easily configured to operate a ford ISC.

 

[jabraham]

No IAC motor here. The car idles just fine once you get it adjusted. Cold start is a pain to get right though.
