mike ashurst Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Hi Folks, couple of questions about compliance with blue book :- First, me being Stupid question, can't find the oil breather on my K-series to connect the catch tank to. Second, slightly more tricky, Ignition switch has to be clearly marked with off position. Pretty tricky when you can't even see the ignition switch under the dash. I thought about an aircraft stylie toggle switch inserted in the ignition supply, and mounted on the dash with one of those red switch guards. But I think they are only 15 amps and I think Arnie said they needed to be 40 amps. If 15 amps is OK I could go the three position one in the DT catalogue (page174) and do away with the ignition on the steering lock altogether ( and avoid the problems with big red starter buttons i.e. pressing button with engine already running). Sorry if these questions are stupid/covering old ground but the previous threads have left me some what confused. Thanks in advance Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver 21 Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Mike It can be as simple as a sticker on your dash showing which way is off and an arrow pointing down to where the switch is. Most of the race shops sell whats called a 'scruntineers Delight' sheet which has arrows and on/off stickers etc, usual cost is a couple of quid, Hope this helps Graham cool.gif1700 Live Axle X/Flow, got the engine upgrade now all I've got to do is try & beat the rest of the guys up the hill!!!!!id=red> cool.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Wong1697456877 Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 The standard K series plenum injection breathes into the plenum chamber. It does not require a catch tank for sprints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Pargiter Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Mike Ignition switch does need to be 40 amps. Starter circuit is usually 16 amps on its own. Suggest using switch on page 175 of DT's catalogue, item 3, with a starter button. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Wong1697456877 Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 You don't actually need a switch - the sticker will suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
