HELP! I am trying to get my '78 Spitfire back to a somewhat legal status as
far as emissions. The PO replaced the manifold with a homemade header, there
is no air rail, and the air pump seems to have about 1 inch of play in the
shaft. Also, the pipe from the air pump has been hacked off after it turns
around the back of the engine.
So, I am trying to figure out where the air rail is supposed to tap into.
The head on the engine does NOT have passages for the air rail to bolt into.
Is it supposed to bolt into the head, or the exhaust manifold? It is a
Federal model if that makes a difference. Someone please tell me I don't
need to replace the head as well!
I have the Bentley manual for '75-'80 Spitfires, are there other books I
should consider buying? TIA for your input.
Peace,
John
