Q: is it plausible a Rochester fuel injector* could be adapted to a flathead engine given the correct intake manifold w/ adapter plate? and follow up: is there a limit to the carburetion which said ***embly could be compatible? thanks *corrected the ***le
yes; i told you guys "i didn't know". so how does this work and could it at the farthest reaches of the imagination be coupled with a flathead engine? cl***ic JC Whitney adapter plate? please remember: this would be going on a scale model so "cost would be no object" in 1:25 scale. i know i'll need to do more research, but i always start my day with HAMB. and a BIG 'Thank You' to Hutkikz for posting this picture for me and clarifying what i was trying to say.
I'm interested in knowing how the Rochester works inside. Have seen them for 60 or so years but never knew how they work.
once Hutkikz told what the dang thing is, i was off on a mission. maybe some of this will help us both: https://www.chevy********.com/tech-...n-chevrolets-rochester-ramjet-fuel-injection/ https://autohistorypreservationsociety.org/1960-1965-rochester-fuel-injection-exposed/ and my go-to {after HAMB & Ford Barn] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rochester_Ramjet that's as far as i've gotten today, but will dig deeper. if you show me yours, i'll show you mine.
The center is just an air plenum for mixing the air/fuel mixture, the driver side mounts an air meter. The p*** side is the fuel metering valve.
Got it! positive displacement gear fuel pump feeding simple port injection. Center dome is again simple tech ~13" velocity stacks for boost at about 3000rpm with sympathetic boost at 1500rpm. A version of this; I built a 'ram' manifold for my hemi when in high school. Designed it in physics cl***! Just carbureted, was good at WOT but really boggy as you night expect on part throttle. Don't WOT on city streets much!!
this is the engine that provoked my interest. got permission from the builder to post here: build thread here: https://forum.modelcarmakers.com/topic/179137-traditional-1929-ford-woody-wagon-hot-rod/#comments
