Oh, yeah -

I'm scheduled at T and T in Gurnee, Illinois for the 17th of April.

Or were you asking when I was going to let this one pass?  :wink:

Do they have the same 5" digital cfm sensor?    Did not see that one on their webpage.

Yup.  Go to "Facility" tab, and you'll see it.

I was just trying to figure out how we'll hang it from the Weber.

Now blue, as opposed to aluminum?

Midget,

Since I just got back from an impromptu visit to T & T, I can answer my own question:  Yes, now blue & 5" dia.   AND, your duct will fit OK.

On the flip side, their throttle arrangement is by pull CABLE, so a cable casing mounting point will need to be fabbed up.    Working on it.

Thanks for the recon - and for sussing out the cable.

Seems no two dyno installs are alike - even the ones that are.  :|

BTW:

Nice work @ Spoof-fest.  :-D     The array of talent was impressive, especially the bass players. . . . . 8-)

K & I appreciated the invite and it was nice to catch up with you & Mrs. Midget.

It's good to have a life away from cars, racing & Cecil Kimber. . . . . . . . . . . . . .     Oh, wait. . . . . . . . . Isn't ole CK your next project?   :evil: :wink:

Additional T & T notes. . . . .

You MAY need to lengthen your B+/B- power source wiring for your ECU.   Their battery is about 3' to the rear of the engine mounting frame.   ECU could be put on a rolling shop cart, rather than mounted on anything.

Make sure Alfred has your Bat-tool belt fully supplied, for any eventuality. . . . . . . .

They seem to have a fair pile of bits & gizmos that may help out with this "mating". . . . . . . .

Midget,

1275 mockup engine has an oil pan plug with .511" major diameter x 20 tpi.    Some orphan British Standard thread (!*?*!?), no doubt.  edit: (or 13mm x 1.25 pitch ?*!?*)

Need you to confirm your oil pan plug is a match.    I have an extra that can be drilled & tapped for 1/8 npt Superflow oil temp sensor, IF, it will fit your oil pan.

T & T does not have a magnetic oil temp sensor.

HEY - CHEESEHEAD!  STOP BREATHNG MY AIR!

Try driving a Buick Lacrosse CXS-- not a car for blue-haired little old ladies or anything like Broderick Crawford's wallowing '55 in Highway Patrol.  :-)
