I am in the process of converting my DeLorean to HEI by bypassing the ballast resistors, installing a zero ohms rotor button, increasing the spark plug gap to 1.2 mm and installing a Pertronix Flame Thrower 40,000 volts coil. Could you please advise me whether I should fit a 1.5 ohm or 3 ohm coil?

What is the address of your facebook page Bill?

Convinced me Bill. How do I find your facebook page? There are a lot of Bill Robertsons.

Very helpful. Thank-you. What amperage fuse did you use in the fuse box? Edit - I just realised that as the fuse is red therefore it is a 10 amp fuse.

What? Gets me every time.

To the person named Matt and Bill : 2-3 Fuel pump(s) in 1985- 1988 (needed low in tank pumps and hi pressure pump on the frame rail) 1989+ was single hi press fuel pump in each tank. you don't need the TAD and TAB solenoids for the EFI to run. Delete all the emissions crap the Cat, air pump, solenoids, valves and block the thermactor holes in the back of the cylinder heads.. EGR (will set the CEL tho) you should be upgrading to a 3G 130A alternator as the stock 2G alternator is known to ford as a fire hazard. the distributor has 2 devices for the EFI to run the TFI module and the PIP sensor which acts like cam position sensor. EECs of this vintage can and will go flaky (like failed capacitors) which can cause all kinds of shit and driveability issues. Any sensors on the engine you should try and replace with motorcraft OEM pieces when available as some Chinese parts at the parts store have been known to be dead in the box. EGR is a useless function, it basically filthys up all the sensors and causes issues when the system fails. Also the wiring and connectors itself are 30+ years old. your fuel system and lines are 30 years old. proper fuel pressure is a must so get a gauge to check pressures when you have running issues. also a Haynes and a chiltons manual will tell you a bunch on how to test the sensors. A Multimeter for diag is a must. EEC IV is a simple system however it's antiquated and has a limited range for tuning. but if your using proper procedures and decent parts it can be fixed. (is it worth it thats up to you) Also a piece of jumper wire for the EEC and FP relays is all you need to bypass them for testing purposes, no need to modify the engine harness. A lot of folks now are either deleting the EFI and going with a carb to avoid these issues and potential ones or are going to stand alone EFI as well which has advantages and disadvantages as well. Lots can be done but whats your end goal is the point. No right or wrong answer here. Join groups on facebook for these trucks. lots of info there. Fullsizebronco, FTE, are other good sites.

not sure where this leads too???

Thank you - Finally a clear and full description and video showing how this works. I now think I can fix my choke issue. Where is this guy, I'm subscribing.

Shit, dude

So good can’t say it enough

You just saved me Hours of tinkering! Great Video!

I would like to thank you for explaining that. I just received a 89 with that valve and was thinking it may be one issue with the truck.

I have to say thank you sir excellent video!! Helped me out a lot.

How does the choke heating element ground through the carb when there is one, maybe multiple paper type gaskets that isolate the carb from engine ground? thru dirty threads on carb studs? shouldnt one measure Ohms from pos choke to actual engine block or even battery grnd? if my carb has no wire to this carb electric choke then i have zero working choke?

Thanks for the great video.

Nicely done, Bill! Great story! Laurie would be very proud of her brother. I am sure she is resting in peace. 🙏

👍the same set up on a 4350 four barrel, Motor-craft. Thanks you

Thanks so much for sharing 👍👍👍

This was an excellent video. Thank you so much for breaking this down and being patient!

Outstanding explanation for a non-car guy like me. I have a 68 Galaxie fastback w original engine/carb/intake, etc. and the choke was basically stuck, so the spring didn’t move anything as it heated up. Taking this apart made me nervous but it worked- so car can now start without keeping accelerator pedal floored. Now I just have no fast idle at all so I will try turning it that screw underneath the choke mechanism IF I CAN REACH IT.

Best Motorcraft Carburetor video on YT!

Bill, I learned that lesson first day of kindergarten. It's not (what) was said or done, it's (who) said it or did it. It's hard not to give a shit about it. But it never changes.

Thanks for sharing this info with me 🎉🎉

Very informative! Thank you for posting this.

Thanks so much! Very helpful! 🙂

I have learned so much from this one video is insane how well explained all of this was.

My harness connectors actually were not way down in there. They are stuffed way up in there.

Good Detailed Video Bill. Thank you

You’re awesome! Best carb video ever! The only thing is, could you demonstrate the actual proper settings of those excellent explanations you made in this video? I now understand the basics of setting screws in each area but the actual setting they need to be at for a proper general set up would be really helpful even further. Thanks for sharing your knowledge about this topic!!! Just at basic Fall into Winter setting vs a Spring into Summer setting. That would help tremendously!

Thank you Bill great video. All meat no hamburger helper. I liked and subscribed.

Great educational info! I have a 1965 ford that has a 1962 or 63 2100 series that doesn’t have the vacuum pull down like your example. Is it internally operational or is there linkage on the accelerator side that adjusts it???

Man, I've been fighting Motocraft carburetors since I was 16 years old and you just clarified what has mystified every mechanic I've ever talked to about this. Thanks!

do not use metal to hold the resistor or ignition coil

Thank you so much for posting this. Would have never figured this out unless I spent some serious time researching this and experimenting. Wanna keep the old ford going for as long as possible.

Thanks for the video, Bill. What resistance coil are you using? I wired my ignition exactly as you've shown with a 1.5 ohm Pertronix coil. The car won't run at all with a 3.0 ohm coil. With the 1.5 ohm coil, it will run, but cut off when it gets hot.

My choke plate seems to be way more looser than you choke plate.. are they supposed to be loose or hold some sort of tension?

You sir are a genius. This is exactly what I needed to know. Very complete, and to the point. Thank you so much!

Bill how do I contact you?

Thanks for your help I think it fixed my problem

What is the ignition set to at this point ?Assume it has to be on for the fuel pump to be running ?

So I learned that the top half of my carb is a 2100 and the bottom is a 2150. Two vacuum things. Yay

Wow, very good

You don't wanna run soild core wires on hei ignition

F8nally a video explaining it in detail and easily for a newbie to understand.. thanks. I rebuilt my 2100 but for months i couldnt het the choke or fast idle to work right.. everyone else doesnt explain it very well

Im working on a 2100 currently. Its probably the 3rd or 4th 2100 ive done in my life but this one is different. Its different than the 2 we have in the shop and its different than the 2 you show on your video. It doesnt have a provision to open the choke with the throttle all the way open. Its on a 72 Gran Torino and its got a 351c. The fast idle cam is stepped on by an arm that rides on the throttle shaft and its got a adjustment screw that rests on a bracket that is connected to the end of the throttle shaft. I was checking the clear flood and noticed the choke didnt open. Its very strange. At this point in the game most of these carburetors have been molested by anyone and everyone with a screwdriver but this one looks like its maybe had one or two rebuilds in its life. Just wondered if anyone else had worked on one like ive got. Or if Im missing something. Thanks for your video.

Thank you Bill! I’m sure your videos will help my get my old f150 running better

Thank You for a perfect video on the choke. All the positive comments below are true. Good Job.

Car?

Is that a DeLorean?

Context?
