I wasn't trying to get Tom to tell us how much he paid Dave. As b-man said, I'm sure it was 4 figures at least.

My point was that, I thought/think, the intake was the big-ticket item and issue....

It sounds like this is just a convoluted way to get back to the "common sense" resolution to the matter. If the employee can't legally pursue the employer, they go after the "deep pocket" of the...

I agree you'll want to replace your carb with a non-CCC version. If you can find a carb from an application closer to what was used on 400ci engines as Tom suggests, that should make tuning easier....

Are you certain you're using the original 301T Qjet? The original carb for an 81 turbo would be computer controlled.

When you put in the 400, did you leave all the computer components (i.e. MAP...

I believe there are belt-driven fuel pumps that can be used to get the pressure you need. You wouldn't necessarily be constrained to a cam-driven pump.



Depending on your plans for injection...

I've had very good luck with the Walmart Maxstart batteries, too. Haven't tried the lower CCA/warranty battery they offer.

Looks like part 12541500 is listed for both the upper and lower lines for 93-95 applications. But, this translates to "bulk 5/16 cold rolled tube". ...

If you're ultimate plan is to go with a Q-jet (not a bad plan by the way), you might as well get one as soon as possible. But, I've had a 1405 on a vehicle that's been very reliable for 20+ years. ...

The last digit could be a "P" Where the "Z014" is stamped very consistently (like ponyakr's picture), it looks like the E1221_ was done in such a way that "E" is stamped "harder" than the "R" (or,...

The rope seal has worked exceptionally well in a factory crank 400 for the last 8 years and (maybe) 25k miles. Absolutely no leaks. Using the same on a 455 build that will replace the 400.

It's certainly possible. There may be other tuner packages available to edit the 0411 PCM. But, I know HP Tuners has this capability. In general, you'd be able to tweak common calibrations to help...

There could be a number of relatively small differences between the carbs. But, given this is an electronic version, I believe most of the "calibration" change is in the ECM. I do know the Q-jet...
