![]() Here is when it was first started after 2.3 years.
Without resonator. and first rebuilt fuel distributor I did. We Rebuilt Kjet distributor once, and cleaned out the injectors (thanks Ian). Also opened and cleaned the CPR. I bought a new rebuilt distributor because I had to open the other one back up again. Didn't have a new plate for it. Ran like crap the second time I took it apart. I will have to get more videos later. Last edited by TIPSP; 01-03-2016 at 09:10 PM.. |

![]() Thanks,
And thanks to all the people that helped me get it done. Me and my dad did most of the work. somethings like machining and the drive shaft where out sourced. I learned(ing) to tig weld on this car. Ian (hiperfauto) played a major rolled with awesome parts and advice. Ben helped with custom awesome parts, and some other people not on this forum help source parts. oh, and this is my daily drive so it will not see too much boost. The pulley is designed to run the charger at 14,000 rpms (which is like 10 psi), but I can control that with the bypass valve on the charger. probably 5-7psi. should be like 160 crank hp.

![]() That looks amazing. I had no idea you put so much work into this car. I'm glad you finally got it all sorted out.
And what's this about a supercharger? You never said anything about it. |

![]() Thank you guys. Means a lot. Most of the cars on here are my inspiration.

But it is fun to throw in a teaser image here and there. Quote:
It took a month of trouble shooting to figure out why it would not start. We were tempted to rip it out and stick a V8 to match the transmission in the car now. I like the idea of the original engine in it also... Plus, not many people have a 75 242 with an Eaton supercharged B20 ;) I haven't seen one yet... Quote:
Edit: I used goof off, and acetone to the underside after the clean up so the undercoating had a better stick. Then I did a very light coat of summit racing black spray paint over the undercoating. The axle was a more wire brushing. a lot more rust on that part. Last edited by TIPSP; 01-05-2016 at 02:28 PM.. |

![]() Oh finally!
![]() I liked this car from the beginning, even from the progress pictures of the 244 turbo you could tell this 242 is in good hands. Although I was a bit curious about the titan rimpz on it at first. Fortunately you did not disappoint me! Tasty, classic looking with a perfect ride height and a pushrod engine. ![]() Hats off for you and your father, really nice work! I hope this one won't get messed up by some idiot driver...
