Fisher Fury, impuse buy!
Discussion
Good chunk of progress tonight! I'm starting to feel good about how it's coming along. It looks good and I'm pretty happy with how tidy the loom and bay wiring. And hoes rooting is. Think it's actually going to look really neat.
I wasn't happy with the factory inlet gasket is about 5mm think plastic with paper faces. But because of the porting and carb manifold it was miles off . it also misaligns the manifold with the heat because the head face is 45 degrees. As I'm using this fiat 124 manifold which is designed to mate directly to the face.
You can see my buddies cut and shut. Bloody impressive bearing in mind that's an aftermarket cast aluminum. He thinks he's changed the angle but approximately 3 degrees. . which is great as the throttle linkage still clears and it just gives enough space to get a proper filter on it. .
Who needs a cnc or 3d scanner when you have tape and a dirty thumb
Probably could have got another degree out of the manifold
You can see the very slight kick in manifold.
He also put some permanent oil fences into the inlet cam bucket.
Hopefully this freeze plug will do the job. Of plugging the dizzy cap hole.

The board is starting to look white again too which is a nice feeling.
Also made the ht leads tonight which is bloody horrible job. Can never get the wire through the boots. But there look neat.
I need to finish wiring the the new loom in on the inside. It needs to be given switched live. Tacho out put and grounding.
I need to mount the ecu and tidy up the loom and relays behind the dash.
I need to mount the back plate air temp sender and filter. But waiting on velocity stacks so I can make sure everything is good to work.
Fit the cam bucket end covers. Waiting on the correct gaskets.
Fit a new throttle cable and get the linkage set up
And rewrap the exhaust. And look at some heat shielding for the coolant pipes.
I'm hopeful that I can give it a good enough startup tune with guys help so I can give it a shakedown. And then drive it to the dyno. As there nothing worse than arrive at the dyno and have everything not work properly. If I can spend Sunday on it and the last bits arrive might be running !

you root those hoes!Apart From m the the throttle cable and a clean up the bay
Just need to get the car turned around or on the drive so I can see behind the dashboard. My garage lighting is s
t in the back half.

It is looking good.
Have you considered painting the cam boxes?
Black crackle finish and highlight the "Lancia" script maybe.
Was thinking of just doing the valve covers in red with polished lettering ? I think black would work too thought. .Have you considered painting the cam boxes?

Well I'm pretty much there today. Ecu is in and wiring is finished. .I've also got the throttle cable in.
I did try turning it over to see what it would do as the start up map is already on the ecu. However Im not getting a spark or injectors. The fuel pump is priming tho. I couldn't find my rs232/usb adapter today . So got one coming on Amazon tomorrow. I need to plug in and see what's going on.
Fingers crossed it's something simple like the tps needing calibration. But I suspect the fact I'm getting nothing means it's not reading the crank. Or it's not got enough volts during cranking.
Also has the pressure reg in backwards
so sorted that. Fingers crossed it's not something in the loom I've buggered up. . hopefully it's a software thing that can be adjusted tomorrow. .
Finally got it running.
Few little niggles stopping it syncing the trigger wheel.
Earthing to the engine is fine but not ideal for starter motor interference so I've now run an earth directly to the battery.
Main issue was the sensor skimming a tooth on the trigger wheel. My 0.5mm air gap has become 0.30 to 0 not sure how!
This should be a video
One of the coolant 90s has a pin hole not sure how ? Maybe But got another one on order.
So I need to spend a few days sorting the niggles and sort out the absolute mess of jury rigged wires to test the start up issues.
Pretty excited! And I think we're on for getting it tuned before Christmas. It sounds wicked and it runs very well of the startup map which is great. See what it's like under load.
Definitely need the sound on that video !

Excellent work!
thanks Mark, well excited to drive it now. hopefully get all the wiring and itb balancing buttoned down tonight. then just need to sort the coolant pipes out. it sounds so so much better, makes me think there migh have been some running issues before.
i need to check the old manifold as i also think it wasnt able to utilase the porting in the head throught that factory manifold.
Got the the wiring buttoned down tonight, and got the bay cleaned up. .
I couldn't help myself so taped up the pin hole in the pipe so I could drive it. Hopefully get the new elbows come tomorrow. So I can go drive it more.
Wiring really needs going through and doing neatly but that's a fettling job for later on. When I'm really board
Put the winter testing rig on
Cleaned up and completed bay. Although I need to clean it again now
It has a stumble on light throttle so got the laptop out and adjust the fuel mix at idle and the next cell up. Which seems to have sorted it. but then this happened
Why didn't I do this before it's well handy for my back
I think if I have managed to deal with the the stumble it drives really well otherwise. Still slow just now with more noise hopefully theres a decent chunk to come on the dyno.
Also the tacho effecting the speedo is solved which I thought it would but nice that I don't need to mess about with that still.

So glad to see trumpets and a proper filter.. I was worried a few posts back. Those gauze "filters" are bloody terrible, bad for flow and only stop rocks going down the yap.
It's freaking tight. And I suspect no4 is slightly compromised by the filter. But it's still far far better than the gauzes. I could go for smaller trumpets as well I might get a set before the dyno and see id they make any odds. Gassing Station | Readers' Cars | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
