Since the ZS is running very rich and getting 12 MPG, I'm getting ready to
trade the ZS carb in the 79B (desmogged) for HIF's out of a 74B parts car. I
have the carbs, manifold, heat shield, and exhaust system. I also have the
round Accessory foam air cleaners, Moss part # 223-230, that several listers
are using.
But, of course I have a few questions before I start tackling it:
1. On the 79 there is a tube that goes from the front of the manifold to the
brakes. What do I do with this on the 74 manifold?
2. Do I hook up the anti-run on valve?
3. How do I hook up a manual choke: Where have others put the knob on the
dash? I have a rectangular blanking plate on the left side of the dash just
above the hazard switch and one on the right side just above the fan switch.
I believe someone said put the choke know in place of the dash reostat, but
mine works. If I use one of the blanking plates, how do I accomplish this?
4. Here in NE Missouri it gets COLD, should/could I hook up the carb
induction heater from the ZS to the HIF's?
5. I've seen the Chicagoland ZS to HS carb swap pictures, but the HIF
manifold and plumbing are different; does anyone have a step-by-step
procedure for this?
6. In the middle of the HIF manifold off the parts car is a small tube bent
at 90 degrees and is plugged off. Where did this go, and do I need to hook
it up again?
7. Will I need to fabricate anything?
Paul Root has given me some advise and I believe that Mike Janacek said he
has done the conversion, but anyone else please feel free to chime in or
point me to a website.
Thanks,
Monte
