My s1r9a9m9 replication!

This is great, alot of people are now on board with this, they all are much further than I at this point!  Time for me to play catch up!  I hope the weather is good today.

Hi there, nothing to report lately.  Just hydrolocked the engine (gasp), I put too much water in.  Engine seems to be fine, I may have broken something.  It's not a big deal, I can easily find another test vehicle if it is broken beyond repair.  I need some non resistor plugs and low resistance wire.  Oh yeah, and something to gap the plugs with properly.  Tools tools tools!  Haha!  Another battery too so I can test my inverter circuit!  Making progress slowly...I tend to jump the gun and wind up spending more time working on a problem, I've already done that too many times with this project and will NOT do it again!

I have been thinking about htis a little. What distributor are you using in this set up?

Seems the older point type may work best. Some performance type used 2 point setups.

If this is true you may not need 8 relays or 8 diode setups. Just 2. One for the inverter and one for the coil.

If you use a HEI electronic distributor this may not work the same.

Just some thoughts.

By the way How did you hydrolock it? I did see you got it running.  Did you change the advance while it was running?

Can you create a "Y" valve so that after it is running on gas slowly change the gas over to water? (after the car is at operating temp)

And was the water warm but not boiling?

Are you just dropping water into carb? or feeding it through the carb like it was gas?

I have a 4.0 jeep from 1980 inline 6 (well it is my father in law) that is being stored and a 1500watt Power inverter I would love the chance at putting the 2 together. I just lack the additional funds for needed parts

I was being stupid and trying to run it with a bigger spark gap and no other modifications, bad idea.  I was just dropping the water through the carb with a spray bottle, now I took the carb off so I can spray a finer mist into the engine without the carb being in the way.  The engine and the water are both cold.  Tonight I'm hooking up the inverter to the diode array and testing the spark.  I might not get to it tonight, but hopefully tomorrow.  It's a regular points style distributor.  I need to figure out a way to "fog" the water into the engine so I don't have liquid in the cylinders that could potentially damage the engine.  Any ideas?  Anyway, I'm still working on this as time allows, I won't give up until I have this working, you have my word on that.  Graduation is slowing things a bit.
