My friend's 1974 1310 Turbo IDI build!

[Hit Man X]

Love the IH build! Great to see not all of them are junked.

A boosted IDI was the only other choice for my '76 Scout (even has factory A/C!), but I have a fantastically running 345/727 combo which will probably last forever so I will just keep that. ha

I do love that Orange. My 75 Harley came in that color so I really love it

Old fuel tank was full of a sealer coating that had deteriorated and was peeling off in sheets. That and rust.

Aye, I've also had issues with that stuff, and I'd rather repurpose a fuel tank from a different vehicle than try to "fix" one with that stuff. If you do decide that you need the whole bed length back, look into ****** tanks - smaller ones (25 gallon or so) can be had in size of around 20" dia and under 30" long, which just may fit nice under the bed between cab and rear tires.

Called Mel Today And orderedMy Full Moose. it Hurt In The Pocket But i Bet It Will Feel Great Under My Right Foot!

Please, whatever you do, do NOT step on the poor pump, with right foot or left!

 

[BrandonBerkosky]

from What I Gather After Talking To Mel I Need A Room Sealed Off From The Atmosphere And Void Of AllParticulates And Any Possible Contaminants To Install This Thing. ThenI'll Get To Watch My Fuel Gauge Swing Hard Left For About Two Weeks OR Until I Regain COnscious ControlOverMy FOot.

I think I'd quit going to dunkin Donuts. Their coffee looks like rusty diesel!

The sealer coating peeling off in sheets with rust behind it seems to make sense. That's my main concern with most thick coatings. Even like rhino lining or poweder coat will do that. Once their is a crack in the cover rust just seems to flourish behind the sealer until it breaks up from lack of adhesion.

Sharp Looking truck. I really like it. I'm an IH fan. I have a 49 KB-2, but we went lowered with wide whites on it. Still in original paint - where it's attached.

To Be Installed Friday After Work. Stay Tuned!

 

[LCAM-01XA]

Aight, staying tuned...

 

[BrandonBerkosky]

Pump Is Installed

 

[BrandonBerkosky]

i Don't Really Know How To Feel About This New Pump. My Low End Power Is Exactly The Same. But It Has More Power Up Top If I Rev It Out. I Don't Really Want To Drive Like That All Day. I Probably Should Have Gotten A Stock Rebuild OR One Step Above. Plus You Have To Watch The Egt's And It Blows Clouds Of Smoke Like Its Going Out Of Style. I Don't Think The Full Moose Is For Me.

 

[Greg5OH]

just needs more air!

 

[LCAM-01XA]

I don't pretend to be an expert on the matter, but I do know that my Fummins tends to make smoke at low RPMs till the turbo catches up, then you gotta watch your speed and not the EGTs Point is, you may indeed not have enough air to burn up all the fuel a hopped up pump delivers. Another thing is injectors, my IDI runs very clean (non-turbo, pump turned down IIRC) but the darn Fummins lives up to its name and hazes even at idle - my issue is the marine injectors apparently don't have the right spray pattern and don't atomize fuel very well, your issue could also be lousy spray pattern plus injectors may be opening at too low of pressure... Also, how is your timing?

Just throwing ideas out there, may be way off basis.
