 |
|
I know there has been a lot of discussion about the install of these
valves and interference with heater duct. in my mind it was a foregone
conclusion to move the valve down to the bottom of the tunnel. However,
I took some measurements and figured that It should be possible to mount
it above similar to the plans. I just finished the install and was
able to get it installed pretty much per the plans (intake nozzles are
fwd rather then aft), and did not have to resort to an extension. My
valve is the one Van's sells through his store, and today I picked up
some #10 Scat to verify that everything is going to fit OK. Looks like
this will work.
Another Country heard from.

Deems,
I've got 2 questions, and I'm not trying to be negative in any way...
1) Have you moved your controls and pushrods through full travel and
do they clear the SCAT tube, or will that elevator cross tube rub
the SCAT?
2) Aren't you a bit worried that you have a hot air duct running
directly through your fuel lines and valve area? That was one of
my larger concerns as any added temperature to those lines will
only add to the vapor lock possibilities.
At any rate, the valve you have is nicer than mine....that one
wasn't available in the past, those 90 degree built in fittings
haven't been around that long.

I just bit the bullet and went along with my partners slight offset from
center.

I temp installed the elev cross tube to ensure there was no interference
and it looks to be OK. Frankly, I don't expect to be running heat to the
rear seats that often, but your point is well taken, I might just
encase the fuel lines (all of them in the tunnel) in some firesleeve or
some other split/insulating material to guard against the vapor lock
concern.
THANKS
Deems
