Hey guys, I recently picked up a Hilborn mechanical fuel injection setup for the 2.2/2.5. I have most of the stuff to run it but it is missing a few important things like the cylinder head adapter flange, the ram horns, and the hoses. I am interested in trying to piece together the setup for possible future use though, just for the sake of building something interesting basically.
First I'm trying to see how the belt-driven fuel pump mounts. Has anybody got a pic or ever recall seeing this setup on a 2.2 or similar engine? I got what appear to be two different 'spuds' which is apparently what Hilborn calls the crank drive sprocket. I cannot figure out how this thing is supposed to mount on a 2.2 crank/sprocket/pulley though?!
I think I have figured out the pump drive though, it came with a bracket that bolts onto the front end of block where the A/C bracket would go and has spacers for the timing belt to clear.
Also, does anybody know where to get adapter flanges for the ITB intake? I recently saw one for an 8v 2.2 sell in the For Sale section and his was a lot like mine but had the proper adapter flange. I can't even bolt this thing on until I find one or have one made up perhaps. If all else fails maybe I'll just have it converted to EFI.
