WHY KINSLER ?
BECAUSE THEY DO IT RIGHT
9) Magnesium alloy manifolds and top adapters are available for most manifold models to reduce over 1/3 of
the casting weight.
Caution: Magnesium is badly corroded by water or liquid alcohol. Monitor the magnesium where it contacts the
engine coolant. Alcohol must not sit in a runner for more than a few hours.
8.2
Only aluminum manifolds should be ordered for off-road or marine use!!!
Pounds
Weights shown refer to a manifold side casting without throttle shafts, plates, or linkage.

10) Throttle Shafts Our standard throttle shafts are a milled-on-one-side
style made from a high strength steel alloy, then hard-nickel plated
for added wear resistance. We offer stainless steel as an option for
maximum corrosion resistance, for boats operating in salt water, etc.
Optional back-cut shafts, and streamline butterflies are available for
increased air flow, see Pages #55-56.
11) Bronze Bushings All of our manifolds and throttle bodies come
standard with bronze throttle shaft bushings for extra smooth throttle
operation and resistance to wear.
12) Throttle Arms & Stops These are heavy-duty to prevent slippage!
Machined from 2024 high-strength aluminum and anodized blue.
Grade 8 high-strength cap screws are used for clamping.
13) Torsion Safety Springs are available to help close the throttles in case
your throttle linkage becomes disconnected.
Throttle arm, stop, and spring
For safety these should never be used as the only throttle return spring(s). You must use a
separate spring(s) to return the throttles.
For safety there must also be a toe strap on the throttle pedal so the throttle can be pulled shut
using your foot in case the return springs break.
14) Rod Ends A small part, but so very important. We use high quality rod ends to give you the reliability
and resistance to wear that you need in your race vehicle. The rod end has a plated body, chromate
treated steel race and a heat treated alloy steel hard-chrome plated ball.
Flow Test and Calibration Service for Constant Flow, EFI, and Lucas:
We offer flow testing to qualify each component, then a detailed calibration of the overall system tailored to the
particular engine combination, fuel, and use. Having calibrated thousands of systems, we have the experience
necessary to get the fuel curve very close just as the unit is bolted on. We also offer this service and reconditioning
for other brands, new or used.

VINTAGE KINSLER SMALL BLOCK
CHEVROLET V8
This was widely used from 1967 till 1986, when we introduced our
first three piece manifold. Still available for the person who needs
the “vintage” look. Constant Flow or Lucas available.
STANDARD FEATURES
• 2 1/4” (2.250”) and 2 7/16” (2.437”) throttle sizes.
• Aluminum base plate; seals hot engine oil from backside
of runners (cooler incoming air charge gives more horsepower).
• Bronze throttle shaft bushings and our
spring-screw universal throttle shaft linkage.
• Standard Chevrolet type water crossover with thermostat
housing; gives maximum water flow for excellent cooling.
• Extra rib of material around the throttle bore area helps prevent For Dirt Track, with constant flow. Straight up

These are available,
also the runners, etc.
Excellent for road and oval track racing... you now need larger
throttles for drag racing. Some brands of manifolds don’t have a
good flowing runner, so they use a very large throttle to get good
top end power, but then the runner is so big that it has little low
end torque, thus poor performance out of the turns. The runner in
this manifold flows efficiently, allowing a medium size throttle to
give excellent top end power while maintaining superior low end
torque. For Can-Am, with optional steel ramtubes. High
placed nozzles for best top end power. Horizontal

3-PIECE MANIFOLD INSTALLATION
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
1) Make sure all intake gasket surfaces are clean and flat
(especially around bolt holes and any water ports).
If the manifold has been used, inspect the condition
of the entire assembly, including all linkage. Be sure
to remove all the old silicone, and clean out the
sealing grooves.
2) Check the fit of all the manifold pieces on the engine
to be sure everything fits correctly before applying any new
silicone.
3) The valley plate has holes at both ends along the
block’s register. Most racers find it much easier to
install the plate if they drill and tap the block at each
end to secure it. The holes in the valley plate may not Check surfaces for flatness
be symmetrically located.... position the valley plate
carefully, then use it as a drilling template.
INSTALLATION
These instructions are for the typical Kinsler three piece injection manifold.
A) It is very important to get silicone down into the bottom corners of both
the manifold and valley plate grooves, just flush to the surface... push
it in with your finger.
B) Put a bead of silicone along the surfaces on top of the grooves and mate
the manifold to the valley plate. If the correct
amount of silicone is used, about 1/16” - 1/8” will come out the top and
bottom sides.
C) Install all the bolts and run them down just snug. Start torque sequence
from the center bolts and work outward. Tighten the mounting bolts
down a little bit at a time to obtain an even crush. Do not overtighten! Push silicone into grooves

OVER-UNDER LINKAGE
Very difficult to set up properly. Over-Under linkage counter-rotates
the throttle shafts allowing the throttle plates to be installed with the
lower edge of each throttle plate out toward the valve cover. This will
direct the air the same to every port as the throttles are opened. While
the geometry can be set satisfactory, it is never exact (see table in Fig
2), and if the arms are loosened, it is difficult to get them back as they
were... their initial angles are critical. Every shaft c-c distance and arm
length combination requires different initial arm angles.
JACKSHAFT LINKAGE... BECOMING MUCH MORE POPULAR Throttle plates that are opposite rotation,
This is much more desireable than the over-under linkage, as it is often use over-under linkage
much easier to set up and gives each shaft the exact same rotation.
See Page #59, 65.
CENTER BELLCRANK LINKAGE
This also gives even shaft rotation, but there is not often enough room
to fit it in. See Page #64.
DRAWING LINKAGE
Measure the c-c of the two shafts to be connected. Though one shaft
may be higher than the other, for convenience draw the shafts as
horizontal. Draw a dashed Base Line and put the shaft centers on
it. Draw an arc with the c-c of Arm-A. Draw another with the
c-c of Arm-B. Draw lines from the center of the shafts to represent
the initial trial position of the arms. The distance between these two
points on the arcs is the length of the Hex-Link. Set the compass at
this distance. Mark off 10o increments along arc-A. Set the point of
the compass on each of these and make a mark on arc-B for each.
Example: see the 40o and 40.5o marks in Fig 2. Measuring the
angles of the marks on arc-B allows a table to be made of the relative
movements. If the numbers are not satisfactory, try other arm settings
and/or Hex Link length. o

HOW TO SET UP LINKAGE
UNEVEN FOUR BAR LINKAGE
This linkage setup helps make a manifold
or blower hat with very large throttles much
more driveable for road racing or the street.
Using the linkage in Fig 3, the first 30o of
pedal travel only moves the plates 15o. The
geometry reverses as it approaches wide open
throttle, so at 80o of pedal travel the plates
have rotated the required 76o.
Caution - The throttle spring must be on the
driver shaft. Shaft-A can’t be the driven
arm as it comes too close to over-center, the
condition where the centerline of the hex link
goes past the centerline of the driven arm...
then the linkage can’t be pulled back.
THROTTLE STOP
Fuel injection throttle stops, shafts, etc.,
are not made to take all the force that
can be exerted with the driver’s foot
at full throttle. A pedal stop should be
made, set at approximately 1/16” under
the throttle pedal at lightly loaded full
opening, to absorb excess force.
THROTTLE LINKAGE
ATTACHMENT
The throttle linkage must be attached
to the manifold at a point where it will
pull directly against a throttle stop
at full throttle. Avoid attaching the
linkage where the full throttle force
would go through a throttle shaft to CORRECT !!! INCORRECT !!!
get to the stop, as this could easily Pulling arm installed Pulling arm on the oppisite end of the
twist the shaft. next to throttle stop manifold from the throttle stop
JACKSHAFT LINKAGE
Counter-rotates the throttle shafts allowing the throttle plates to be installed
with the lower edge of each throttle plate out toward the valve cover. This
will direct the air the same to every port as the throttles are opened.
Easy to set up and gives each shaft the exact same rotation.

KINSLER SPRING-SCREW UNIVERSAL
THROTTLE SHAFT LINKS PATENTED
Available on most Kinsler manifolds. Can be installed on most other manufacturer’s
manifolds and special made units.
The Spring-Screw link with it’s unique patented design acts as a combination
slip and universal joint. It also has a screw for torsionally phasing
the shafts and a spring to keep any looseness out of the joint.
The bolt-on design allows ease of installation on an existing unit without having to
disassemble the manifold. The adjusting screw allows synchronization of the front
cylinders to the rear ones for smoother engine idling. 2024 aluminum, anodized
blue; hard coated where the screw and rivet contact the tab for additional wear
protection.
Made in “right” hand and “left” hand so that they can always be installed with the
screw facing outwards for ease of adjustment, yet have the torque from the “driving” #4897
shaft pushing directly against the screw rather than the spring in the adjuster assem-
bly.... this way the action is always positive. If pushed against the spring, a heavy load
could compress it.

If you bought a good set of individual runner injection, the air distribu-
tion was just about perfect right out of the box, since all of the runners
were cast the same and had a radiused bell at each entrance. If your
unit had a properly matched set of nozzles the fuel distribution had to be
good, since there was one nozzle in each runner. Other advantages of
the injection was that you could change the fuel mixture quickly by just
changing one jet (even
from the dashboard while driving), and you could run alcohol and nitro.
There were no carbs at the time that did a good job with these fuels.
A drawback of both the Lucas and Bosch is that to get more than a simple
straight line fuel curve you have to make a complex three dimensional fuel
cam. Even today, an engine with a Lucas or Bosch mechanical system with
the simple straight line fuel curve runs quite well, because the internal com-
bustion engine is so beautifully forgiving... it puts out almost full power from
about three percent lean to about six percent rich. 1963 Maserati Mistral Lucas me-

ON TO ELECTRONIC
In the late sixties various auto companies started serious electronic fuel injection (EFI) programs for better economy, driveability, and
emissions. What needed to be done was obvious, but the progress was slow because of the difficulty of developing good low cost injectors
and electronic bits. The exciting thing about using electronics is that you can look at as many inputs as you want to for very little money.
Why? With any mechanical device, either carbs or injection, it is quite cumbersome and expensive to sum more than a few inputs. With
electronics it is easy and cheap to sum as many as you want. So while only throttle angle or intake vacuum combined with engine speed
had been used in most mechanical systems, now you could sense air, water, oil, and fuel temperature, barometer, rate of throttle opening,
etc. With computing ability, it became easy to have complex maps of fuel mixture vs. RPM for various throttle angles, acceleration
enrichment, controlled enrichment from cold starting to hot running, etc. Bosch was the clear leader in the early EFI work, introducing the
system on the 1967 Volkswagen. © 2019

A BRIEF HISTORY OF FUEL INJECTION
In the early seventies, EFI became more popular on passenger cars. It was very expensive compared to carbs, as the carbs had been
developed for many years to do a reasonable job while being mass produced using die castings. Just a couple of the EFI injectors cost
as much as a carburetor. A V8 has as many as eight injectors, a complicated fuel rail, various sensors, and a complex wiring harness
and electronic control unit (ECU). So why did they go to the EFI? It was a combination of political pressure due to fleet economy and
emission requirements, image, startability, driveability, and the hopes that volume use and further research would lower the cost, which it
certainly has.
In the early eighties the first race ECU’s appeared in the speed
industry. They were quite basic, expensive, and tedious to program.
Various sports cars tinkered with the EFI, and a Formula Vee series First Zytek ‘white’
ran exclusively with it. A lot of this equipment was initially sup- ECU; 1984.
plied by Bosch, with advancements being made by other companies
that produced racing-only boxes. Used an EPROM
Because of its ability to handle a very complex engine fuel map chip that had to be
with ease, EFI was literally snatched up by the F-1 cars in the mid- ‘burned’ outside of
eighties for their turbo motors. While the output of these engines
at about 750 horsepower from 92 cubic inches on gasoline looked the ECU with hexi-
impressive to most of the world in 1983, the developers knew that decimal code, then
they were making tremendous compromises to stay safe with the installed in the
limitations of their mechanical systems. Within just a few years af-
ter introducing EFI, some F-1 engines were dynoing at nearly 1,250 unit. It did have
horsepower or 13.5 horsepower per cube!! They ran about 1,000 the luxury of hav-
horsepower on the track for qualifying and dropped back further for
the actual race. Any skepticism about the ability of EFI to run with ing trim knobs for
massive ignition interference, heat, or vibration was silenced. some field
adjusting.
By the end of the eighties there were more than a dozen companies
making aftermarket and racing electronic control systems; several
of them being quite reputable with good solid products. The popular use of the systems was on road race, Indy cars, offshore race boats
and high performance street machines, all these having rather complex fuel requirements. Today, drag racing is seeing limited use of EFI,
both because of rule restrictions, and the relatively simple fuel requirements (wide open throttle only) for most type of engines operating
on the drag strip... constant flow metering still works quite well there.
The control boxes now available for racing range from basic ones at $1,500-$3,000 with programming software, to extremely complex
systems that sense everything you can think of at $5,500-$15,000 with
programming aids and software that are very user friendly and will run
on laptop computers. Add to all this the cost of injectors at $40-100
each for common types, wiring harness at $300 for the street type to
$1,500 for a good race harness, to $4,000 for super quality F-1 type
harnesses. Fuel rails are $200 for the basic ones, $400 for high flow
aluminum, to $800 for custom built stainless steel. Add a manifold,
fuel pump, filter, pressure relief valve, etc. and you go from a com-
plete system for high performance street use at about $4,500, serious
on-track system at $7,000 to the most sophisticated at $11,000 to
$21,000 including engineering time.

CONSTANT FLOW FUEL
INJECTION METERING
Constant flow systems are very flexible and
cost effective for many types of racing, engine
configurations, and fuels. They are capable of suppling
a very wide range of fuel requirements. The system
can be easily configured and tuning is accomplished by
increasing or decreasing the systems operating pressure.
Every K-type jet is tailored on the flow bench to within 1% of the flow rate of the master reference jet of its
same size. Therefore, even though the increments between the K-type jets are very small (.002” available), the
change in flow rate between each jet is controlled. Every jet of the same size flows the same, if one jet is lost, an
exact duplicate can be shipped immediately.
B) Always install the jet so that the number is facing up as the jet is dropped in, then the fuel will flow into the
radiused side of the jet. After the jet can has been assembled, the number will be facing toward the poppet.
C) Make sure the jet can end has an o-ring receiving groove and that an o-ring is in place for the jet to
rest on. Note: the jet sealing o-ring should be replaced periodically to make sure that the compound
has not “dried” out.
D) Any marks on the radius of a K-type jet were put there on purpose during the flow tailoring
process.... leave them alone!
E) Never string the jets on a wire, as their entrance shapes will change as they move around on the wire!!!
For storage use the Kinsler plastic jet holder case #3720.

KINSLER K-TYPE JETS
REASONS FOR FLOW ERRORS
Kinsler nozzle sets are flowed and matched to within a 1% total spread in distribution. The orifices are radiused and
polished to promote even flow. Each nozzle is individually flow tested through a range of pressures and hand matched to a
master reference nozzle. Should a nozzle not work into the master flow curve, it is discarded or resized for use in a larger
set.
KINSLER STANDARD NOZZLE IDENTIFICATION
We stamp our flowed nozzles with - the name “KINSLER”; a size reference; a flow code, and a
deflector style-air orifice reference.
Example: S-710 AS-78 explanation :
The ‘S’ indicates a nominal .0338” orifice - orifice sizes may vary + .0004” due to machining tolerances,
so hand matching is still required.
The 710 is the flow code.
AS is the deflector style (see deflector types on next page).
78 refers to a .078” air orifice in the deflector, also referred to as the vacuum break restrictor.
An ‘X’ indicates a nozzle with .039” or larger fuel orifice. Example: X-39 930 AS-89
The ‘X’ followed by 39 means a .039” fuel orifice; 930 is the flow code; ‘AS’ is deflector style;
89 refers to a .089” air orifice in the deflector.
The flow code is the pounds per hour (lbs/hr) of fuel flow at 30 PSI for one nozzle.
Example: S-710 is really 71.0 lbs/hr at 30 PSI.
You can calculate the flow of a nozzle at any fuel pressure - see “ORIFICE THEORY” on Pages #199-200.

Externally vented - for normally aspirated engines (unblown) or supercharged engines with nozzles at blower inlet.
Vented to the atmosphere; see AIR FILTRATION on Page #78.
Internally vented - for normally aspirated engines. Vents from inside the runner of the manifold.
Non-Vented and Z-type - for supercharged or turbocharged applications were the nozzle outlet is subject to manifold boost.
VENT LOCATION AND QUANTITY
One and three vent nozzles drip fuel into the engine on
shut-down, may make motor hard to restart due to excess fuel
in cylinders.
Four and six vent nozzles may drip fuel outside on shut-down,
but reduces cylinder wash down.

We recommend filtering all the fuel coming out of the pump so that all the bypass valves and the barrel valve receive filtered fuel. Do
NOT use paper element filters on this type of system: bits of the paper element from the ‘clean’ side of the filter will clog the nozzles
and/or glue on the element may dissolve in methanol causing the element to separate. Do NOT use paint strainers or other cloth filters
to fill the tank, as lint from them may plug the nozzles. Use our #5610 filter funnel (see Page #179) or a similar metal element strainer.

MAIN BYPASS VALVE
The main jet is the most basic adjustment of a constant flow metering system.
A smaller main jet makes the engine richer, by allowing less fuel to flow back to the
tank and forcing more fuel to go to the engine. A larger main jet makes the engine
leaner, by allowing more fuel to flow back to the tank which means less fuel flows
to the engine. Regarding jets: see section on “K-TYPE JETS” on Pages #72-73 and
“ORIFICE THEORY”on Pages #199-200.
This valve also acts as a check valve to hold pressure for starting and idling.
We highly recommend plumbing this valve after the fuel filter, since any dirt or
sticking may cause the engine to idle poorly or possibly not start (see Kinsler’s
PREFERRED PLUMBING SCHEMATIC on Page #108). Note: It is important to #3112 ‘Ano-QD’ quick disconnect valve
carefully read the section on “HIGH-SPEED BYPASS” on Pages #86-90, so you will
understand the relationship between the two bypass valves at wide open throttle.
COCKPIT INSTALLATION
Drill one 1 5/8” hole and three 3/16” holes using the drilling template enclosed with the
valve. Install the valve so that the outlet is to the right (3 o’clock). Insert knob through
hole and attach trim plate to valve body with the three screws provided.
CAUTION:
Never loosen the four allen set screws in the knurled
CHANGING JET SET knob, the knob’s detent pins are indexed for proper
jet alignment to the outlet port of the JSV body.
1 Set pointer in line with outlet.
2 Remove cover (6 bolts). Note :
3 Remove springs (8). Numbers of steps relate
to schematic on right.
4 Remove jets (8).
5 Before installing the new jets, place #600 grit sandpaper
from the installation kit on a hard flat smooth surface
and lightly lap the backside (opposite the number) of
the jets to be sure they will seal properly in the valve.
NOTE : excessive lapping may alter the jet flows.
6 With the knob pointer still positioned in line with the
outlet fitting, drop the richest (smallest) jet into the
hole in the cylinder that is in line with the outlet (the
position that is over the hole in the body). The num
ber on the jet should be visible.
7 Drop the remaining jets into the cylinder, in order from
the smallest to largest, going counterclockwise from
the first jet.
8 Replace the springs.
9 Replace the cover; be careful that the o-ring is in it’s
groove.
10 Replace the eight socket head cap screws.
If the jets are installed properly in the valve, the
richest jet will be obtained when the knob pointer is
straight to the right (aligned with the outlet; see step
#1 above), and the next leanest jet will be obtained by
rotating the knob counterclockwise one position. © 2019

RANGE JET VALVE
FOR USE WITH KINSLER JET SELECTOR VALVE
WHEN DO YOU NEED IT ?
A Range Jet Valve is required when a Kinsler Jet Selector Valve is being installed and
the main bypass jet exceeds .100” diameter. This is because very high flow through the
Jet Selector causes enough turbulence to affect the stability of the flow through the jets
in it. The accuracy of the valve is excellent when used with jets under .100”.
HOW IT WORKS
The Range Jet creates a constant bypass around the Jet Selector Valve, so the flow
passing through the Jet Selector is reduced.
An added bonus of the Range Jet Valve is that the jets in the Jet Selector Valve don’t #3020 Kinsler Range Jet Valve Kit,
have to be changed... if a richer or leaner set of jets is needed, merely change the jet includes two 6 AN swivel tee fittings
in the Range Valve to a smaller or larger one... this changes the range of all eight jets (does not include jets)

Selector Valve....
much easier, quicker, and cheaper!
PLUMBING
Arrange the two ‘tee’ fittings as
shown, so the flow to and from the
Range Jet Valve will be flowing
through the “straight through” side of
the tee.
Note : Use this schematic with our
PREFERRED PLUMBING
SCHEMATIC on Page #108.
It is important to locate the
fuel filter on the main pump
outlet so all the fuel will be fil-
tered going to the engine and

high speed, etc.
Selecting the Jets required for Jet Selector and the Range Jet Valve
These jet increments are about twice as coarse as we would
recommend if there were no Range Jet Valve in the system.... If using a Range Jet Valve,
since there is always flow bypassing through the Range the jets in the Jet Selector Valve should be :
Jet, the effect of changing from one jet size to another in
the Jet Selector is reduced by about half. If the Range Jet For alcohol .050” .058” .066” .074” .082” .090” .098” .106”

SECONDARY BYPASS VALVE
Barrel Valve Spool Ramp
Since the engine makes less power at part throttle, it needs less fuel.
The spool in the barrel valve is the main control for part throttle
fuel delivery. At wide open throttle, the spool has a large notch cut
into it’s side to pass all the fuel to the nozzles unrestricted. As the
throttles are closed, a tapered ramp ground into the side of the spool
reduces the passage to restrict flow to the nozzles. When adjusting
the hex-link to set the idle fuel rate, the spool is being re-positioned
to make the passageway larger or smaller to the nozzles. If you
remove the fitting from the top of the barrel valve, you can see this
ramp. Because each engine’s part throttle fuel requirement varies due
to camshaft, manifold, and exhaust system selection, the fuel rate the
ramp delivers at part throttle is seldom exactly what the engine needs,
but the secondary can be used to tailor it.

CAUTION - Using a spring that is too light, especially on a supercharged or turbocharged
application may cause a backfire through the blower/turbo or into the plenum, causing damage.
Troubleshooting
First follow all steps in “System Troubleshooting,” Pages #106-107.
1) Check to be sure that the poppet seals in the body. A small amount
of dirt can cause the poppet to stick. Thoroughly clean the
valve and connecting hose assembly.
2) If adjusting the secondary valve doesn’t seem to do
anything, make sure the barrel valve spool has a
bypass port (see Page #104) and that the secondary
valve is installed correctly. #3030 secondary bypass valve
3) Adjustments to the secondary valve should not affect wide open
fuel mixture; if they do:
A) Check to make sure the spool is indexed correctly in the barrel valve.
B) Check the fit of the spool to the barrel valve block.
Approx. clearance is one-half of a thousandth of an inch.
Too loose of a fit can cause fuel to leak out through the
secondary port at wide open throttle. Test the fit with
a leak down meter, 1% or less is preferred at WOT.

HIGH SPEED BYPASS VALVE
WHY YOU NEED A HIGH SPEED BYPASS
A high speed bypass is needed to obtain maximum horsepower because the
engine will experience a loss of volumetric efficiency at RPM above the peak HIGH SPEED
torque. At high RPM the inlet valves are open for such a small amount of time OPENS
that the cylinders do not have enough time to completely fill with fresh mixture:
Fuel curve “A” shows the flow of a system with a main bypass jet only. An
engine with the same volumetric efficiency at all speeds would have this fuel
rate requirement.
Fuel curve “B” is the actual fuel requirement of a typical engine. Note that
curve “A” is too rich at high engine speed, resulting in a loss of power.
Fuel curve “C” represents the flow rate attained by using a richer main jet to ob-
tain a steeper initial curve, then a high speed to break it over to follow the engine
requirement.... A very close compromise to curve “B”.
THE HIGH SPEED ALSO BENEFITS THE MID-RANGE PERFORMANCE
If an engine is jetted to obtain maximum horsepower at high RPM without a high speed bypass, it would be lean around the peak torque
RPM (see fuel curve “A” compared to the engine fuel requirement, “B”). Unfortunately jetting rich enough for best mid-range power will
cause the engine to run rich and lose power at high RPM. By installing a high speed bypass, separate control of the mid-range and high
RPM fuel rates are possible. The main jet can be run richer for best mid-range performance, while using the high speed to lean the system
for best power at high RPM.
TUNING TIPS AND BASIC ADJUSTMENTS
Turning the screw “in” on a diaphragm type high speed or changing to a heavier spring, and/or adding more shims in a jet can type, will
raise the pressure (RPM) at which the valve opens, making the system richer on the top end. The high speed is usually adjusted to start
opening about 500-1000 RPM above peak torque. If a high speed is installed on a fuel system when it is calibrated by Kinsler, the main
jet and high speed bypass setting should be very close for best power. However, if the system does not seem to have the ideal fuel rate “as
received”:
1) If the fuel curve seems too rich throughout the RPM range, go to a leaner main jet.
2) If just the top end seems rich; go lower on the high speed pressure setting until the high rpm mixture is correct.
A) If the system has a restrictor jet, try going .004” - .010” larger per run. (Note: the calibrated pressure settings of the high
speed should not require a major adjustment if the original main jet is being utilized.) Compare this with the results
obtained by going lower on the valve pressure setting.
B) If the system still seems rich after step “A” above, lower the opening pressure of the high speed by approximately 3 PSI.
CAUTION: We recommend you reinstall the original restrictor jet before lowering the pressure setting.
C) If the engine still seems rich with the lower pressure setting, repeat step “A”. While this method may require several runs
of the engine it has be found to be a safe way to tune the system while avoiding engine damage from going too lean.
3) If the system is adjusted to give a proper fuel curve, but the overall curve needs to be richened or leaned due to changes in
the engine displacement, air density, weather, altitude, etc., adjust the high speed pressure for each main jet step you adjust.
4) Tune the engine for best performance, not just what appears to be good plug readings.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When properly adjusted, a high speed bypass’s engagement should not be felt by the driver.
If the driver feels the high speed bypass engage because the engine’s power increases dramatically, then either the main jet is adjusted too
rich or the high speed is opening at too high a RPM. Either condition will cause the engine’s output to be lower than optimum. There
should be no sudden burst of power, only a steady strong pull.
RESTRICTOR JETS
The pressure setting of the high speed is used to control the RPM at which the valve opens, while the
restrictor jet is used to limit the flow through it after it opens. The smaller the jet, the less fuel that can
flow through the high speed and back to the tank, thus richening the system at higher RPM levels.
In some Oval Track applications the use of a restrictor jet assures that the high speed does not dump
off too much fuel at high RPM part throttle.... for example coming down a straight away and quickly
closing the throttles causing a pressure spike. The high speed will open and start returning fuel. The
restrictor jet will then restrict the amount of fuel bypassed during this overrun condition.
If you own a high speed bypass valve that doesn’t have a provision for a restrictor jet. Simply use a jet
can after the valve by removing the poppet and stretching the spring out to hold the jet in place. Make WHEN THE JET IS
sure the jet can has a jet sealing o-ring. DROPPED INTO THE END

HIGH SPEED BYPASS VALVE
ADVANTAGE OF KINSLER’S DIAPHRAGM HIGH SPEED BYPASS VALVE
The advantage of this valve over the “jet can” type used in the past is that it has less
internal friction on it’s moving parts, and it has a much larger area
for the pressure to act on for regulation, resulting in a valve that opens at the same
RPM every time. Easily adjusted using a blade screwdriver and a 7/16” wrench; no
parts to drop or lose, no dealing with leaking fuel when changing pressure settings.

BARREL VALVES BARREL VALVE ASSEMBLIES
Arms and inlet fittings sold separately
Our valves feature 3 AN female nozzle hose ports that are spaced apart for
good wrench clearance. All feature a High-Flow distribution cavity with a
removable o-ring plug. Can be installed on most Hilborn, Engler, Crower,
and Ron’s manifolds either as a direct bolt-on or using a Kinsler mounting
adapter. These barrel valves are made from 6061-T6 billet aluminum, then
hard anodized for protection from corrosion by methanol.

MECHANICAL FUEL PUMPS
PUMP OUTPUT
In theory, a mechanical pump’s
output is linear to the RPM at
which it is driven. Rotate the
pump shaft twice as fast and the
flow will double. However, even
a good pump is affected by the
physical clearances of the gears
and the pressure load against the
outlet. Typically the flows at very
low RPM and very high RPM will Running clearance is a must for the
be below the linear graph of the pump gears. This clearance causes
pump’s output due some internal leakage back past the
to internal leakage, pumping gears and has the same effect as a
friction losses, and clearance in the bypass from the pump outlet back to
components. the inlet.
GENERAL SIZING AND SERVICE
Engine displacement, volumetric efficiency, and the fuel being used will dictate the required pump displacement size. If you have a doubt
about the size of your pump, note the number stamped on it and give us a call. Several pumps are assembled using the same size hous-
ing, so the casting number located on the housing does not indicate the exact pump displacement. Most pumps are identified by the serial
number stamped on it.
Most pumps experience wear over a period of time. To maintain engine performance on a fuel system where the pump is losing flow out-
put, the main jet has to be continually richened. If the main jet is not richened, the top end performance will drop off. If a problem is not
found after thoroughly checking other engine components (especially valve springs, cam lobes, and ignition), the pump should be sent in
for testing.
We can test and rebuild many types of pumps. To have a pump tested, send it in with all of the fittings still in it.
Include a day and evening time telephone number with the area code..... a technician will call if there is a problem.

CHANGING PUMP ROTATION:
Gear-rotor style pumps are reversed by removing the cover and re-indexing it 180o. Pumps tend to
change their flow when taken apart and reassembled. Disassembling the pump in the field is discour-
aged. It is recommended that the pump be sent to us, if the rotation needs to be changed. We will flow
test the pump before and after changing it’s rotation to be sure it is performing properly.
Gear to Gear style pumps are reversed by removing the inlet and outlet fittings. Simply turn the body
180o and install inlet and outlet fittings in the opposite end of the pump from the original configuration.
(Note: the original inlet port of the pump will now be the outlet port)

Dear Mr. Kinsler
I would like to personally thank you for your support in 2005.
We had a great year finishing 9th in the World of Outlaw point
standings. As a manufacturer you will be happy to know that we
also lead the World of Outlaws with 12 fast times (3 track records)
and 12 second fast times. This alone is an impressive statistic;
however we also raced the entire 100 race World of Outlaw
schedule with NO engine failures. We feel this is an amazing
accomplishment and one we could not have acheived without your
involvement.
Sincerely yours,
Terry McCarl
THROTTLE RESPONSE
Governed by the idle fuel rate. Mechanical fuel injection doesn’t have an
accelerator pump, so it’s necessary to put in a continuous “pump shot” by
running a rich idle mixture. Smoke, spark plug fouling, and diluted oil due
to prolonged periods of idling may occur with the barrel valve set for best
response, so minimize idle time. The injection can be adjusted for a “nice
clean idle”, but it will not have the best throttle response. (We offer a DUAL
RATE IDLE SYSTEM, see Page #94).
Rotating the hex link so that it moves the arm on the barrel valve in the same direction that it moves when the throttles are
opened makes the idle richer.
Note : Idle fuel rate has no affect on wide open throttle mixture.
To adjust the “idle” fuel rate, mark one of the flats on the hex link to the barrel valve, then also measure the
hex link’s center to center distance (“M” measurement). Keep a record of how many flats it takes to richen
or lean the idle so the hex link can be brought back to the “As Shipped” setting. If you lose track, the “As
Shipped” setting can be reset by using the “M” measurement and the mark on the flat. Never loosen the arm
on the throttle shaft or barrel valve.
M = H D
With the vehicle warmed up and out of gear, set the “idle” fuel rate for the best throttle response, not a “nice clean idle”.
Rapping the throttle open quickly should give a sharp response. So you don’t run a richer idle than necessary, lean the idle
until you don’t have good response, then richen it up just enough to get good response again. If you are running an auto-
matic transmission or a boat, adjust the hex link one or two more flats richer to compensate for when the vehicle is put in
gear, thus loading the engine.
NOTES: A) PLEASE read the instructions for the leakage tester before 5980 Dual gauge leakdown metering;
using it. 0-100 PSI / 0-100 PSI gauges
B) Be consistent in the test method. Perform the test the same with 6 AN female swivel hose
every time, this will help avoid errors. assembly
C) The secondary bypass fitting MUST be capped off, see upper photo.
D) Always use the same inlet pressure for repeatability.
1) Attach the leakage meter outlet hose to the barrel valve inlet fitting.
2) Open the barrel valve to wide open throttle, turn the air pressure to the meter on and off to make sure that the gauges zero.
Note: The manufacturer of the leakage meter you are using may specify a different zeroing method. Use that one.
3) With the air pressure on, close the throttles to the idle position and observe the gauge reading(s).
4) Most Leakage Meters Do Not Read the Same; but all Kinsler meters are calibrated to a master so each of them reads the same.
Test your barrel valve leakage after receiving your unit from our calibration department. Record the reading before making
ANY adjustments. Your leakage tester may show a value different than the unit we used. Leakage testers that are working
properly read within about 2% of one another.
CONDITIONS THAT INFLUENCE THE REQUIRED LEAKAGE
Fuel system pressure, engine idle speed, and the load against the engine all affect the required leakage setting
of the barrel valve spool.
1) Fuel Pressure at Idle ; Given two identical engines: if engine ‘A’’s fuel pressure is higher than engine ‘B’’s, because of a
heavier spring behind the poppet in the main bypass, the barrel valve spool on Engine ‘A’ will need to be closed further to
maintain the same fuel idle flow.
2) Engine Idle Speed ; Is proportional to the idle air flow, which will affect the amount of fuel required. The more air, the more
fuel needed to maintain the same air/fuel ratio.
3) Engine Load ; A Sprint Car which is push started “in gear” will have a significant load against the engine right
from the start. A drag car engine will start and idle “out of gear” with very little load, mainly the reciprocating
friction of the engine and accessories. The Sprint Car engine will require more fuel due to the heavier load
(increased load means additional horsepower requirement) to maintain a given RPM.

INDEXING A BARREL VALVE
LINKAGE GEOMETRY TO BARREL VALVE
The linkage geometry to the barrel valve affects the part throttle fuel
rate. The geometry MUST be set correctly before the spool is
indexed. The center-to-center (c-c) of arms ‘A’ and ‘B’ must
be equal. The barrel valve hex link must have the same c-c
distance (‘M’) as the barrel valve spool shaft to the throttle
shaft (‘D’). As the two arms rotate, they will remain
parallel to each other, and the barrel valve hex link will
remain parallel to the baseline. Setting up the linkage
geometry this way will cause the barrel valve spool to
rotate exactly the same as the throttle shaft.
V
V
A properly fit spool will have approximately
0.0005” clearance to the barrel valve block
bore. A spool with a looser fit will allow fuel
to seep around the spool, requiring reindexing
to compensate for the increased flow of fuel. If
seepage is excessive, the spool will have to be
reindexed too much causing the secondary port
to be closed off prematurely during the opening
of the throttles. Also, the fuel flow notch may be
reindexed enough to close it off some at wide open Secondary
throttle and inadequate fuel delivery near wide Outlet
V
When a spool has a secondary bypass port, at an Counterclockwise (left hand) Clockwise (right hand)
idle the port in the spool should be exposed to
the inlet port of the barrel valve block, fully or
partially.

BASIC ADJUSTMENTS FOR
CONSTANT FLOW METERING
MAIN FUEL MIXTURE
An engine that “pops and crackles” out of the intake manifold under full power is probably lean. An engine that seems
lazy is probably rich. An engine running on methanol can be difficult to tune; as it will run cool and cause you to think it is
rich but actually it can be lean enough not to build power (generate heat), having the symptons of running rich. If you are
uncertain if the engine is running rich or lean, it is generally safer to richen the engine and try it. If it is lean and you lean it
more, you may damage the engine.
SPARK PLUG READINGS: While plug color should not be used as the only indication of proper fuel mixture, cracked
porcelain, melted cement, and melted electrodes are all indications of extreme heat or detonation from lean fuel mixture, im-
proper timing, bad fuel, etc. If the plugs show any of these signs, find the cause and correct it before further damage results!
Drag Racing - Do not put too much emphasis on spark plug readings, as they can be misleading. Time slips give the best indi-
cation of proper mixture. Go richer and leaner and then use the jet that runs the best. Note: for top end mixture, see:
HIGH SPEED BYPASS VALVE on Pages #86-87.
A) Engine runs strong off the line but bogs 1/3 of the way down the strip. The unit is usually rich when running gaso
line and may be rich or lean when running methanol. Install a larger (leaner) main bypass jet when running gaso
line and install a smaller (richer-safer) jet when running methanol.
B) Engine crackles at the top of each gear, either the main jet is too lean (too large), or the high speed
bypass is set too lean (see HIGH SPEED BYPASS Pages #86-87.
C) Engine is sluggish and seems rich at the start but cleans out and runs good 1/2 way down. The idle is set too rich;
lean out the idle only, not the main jet. Note : If you reset the idle too lean, the engine will lose throttle response.

#1- Primarily on gasoline burning engines. Gasoline generates considerable vapor pressure when it is contained in
a closed tank. The return fuel blasting back into the tank creates more volume of vapor than the volume of
gasoline used, so the pressure in the tank increases and causes the unit to go richer. Alcohol and nitro units
go lean if the vent is too small, as they can’t draw the fuel out of the tank quick enough. See FUEL TANK
CONSTRUCTION and LOCATION on Page #177 for proper vent sizes.

PREFERRED PLUMBING SCHEMATIC
FOR CONSTANT FLOW
This Preferred Plumbing Schematic will give the same results as the “Old” style plumbing schematic we
recommended in the past, but this Preferred Schematic will supply FILTERED fuel to main, secondary, and high
speed bypass. Unfiltered fuel may stick the poppets in the main and secondary, and it clogs up the high speed bypass.
Placing the fuel shutoff valve at the barrel valve has an advantage. When the engine is shut off, the fuel in the filter
and hoses picks up heat and expands. By having the shutoff at the barrel valve, this expanding fuel is forced back
toward the fuel tank rather than into the engine.
Never plumb any of the bypass valves back to the fuel pump inlet. When they blow off, they make some vapor,
which we don’t want going back through the system. The secondary and high speed bypass valves may be
teed together on their outlet sides so that they share
a common return hose, or the two valves may be
plumbed on separate return hoses.

KINSLER’S CONVERSION FROM ENDERLE’S JET-IN-THE-

Kinsler is pleased with the quality of Enderle’s blower hats, but we prefer not to use their jets or nozzles for two reasons:
They are sharp edged and the jets have a screw driver slot. As mentioned in “A Note About Jets”, square edged jets are easily
damaged... the use of the screw driver in the slot further aggravates the problem. Changing to the Kinsler external bypass
system and using the K-type jets eliminated the problem. Many of the racers also prefer the external bypass system for it’s
greater flexibility in tuning and ease of operation.

KINSLER VAPOR SEPARATOR TANK (VST)
SYSTEM
Also know as a pressurized pump inlet system.
THE PROBLEM
For a constant flow fuel injection system to meter the fuel repeatably, the mechanical pump must deliver a precise amount of
fuel at any given RPM. In many installations, however, the pump delivers varying amounts of fuel, sometimes very erratically,
due to plumbing of the vehicle, or operation at high altitude and/or hot conditions.
THE CAUSE
The main problem is caused by pump inlet cavitation, a form of “vapor lock”. Because gasoline almost boils at room
temperature, if the temperature of the fuel is raised, or a vacuum is pulled on it, it will start to boil. This is what causes the
pump delivery problem...as the pump tries to draw the fuel into it’s inlet, it pulls a slight vacuum on the fuel. The higher the
pump speed, the higher the vacuum. This vacuum, combined with hot temperatures found in most race cars, causes at least
some of the fuel in the inlet hose to flash to vapor (boil). Thus the pump draws in a mixture of liquid and vapor and therefore
delivers less fuel per revolution. This causes an erratic lean condition and sometimes premature pump failure due to a lack of
pump lubrication.
Conditions that aggravate pump inlet cavitation :
HEAT Hot weather; hot fuel in the fuel tank; vehicle parked on hot black pavement
on a sunny summer day (which heats up the whole car); exhaust pipes near
fuel hoses, pump, tank, etc.; radiator heat coming back across fuel pump,
hoses, tank, etc.; fuel pump not isolated from engine block heat (use phenolic
isolator see MECHANICAL FUEL PUMPS on Page #104 and #176)
VACUUM Pump inlet hose too long, such as in vehicles that have a fuel tank in the rear;
pump inlet hose too small in diameter; fittings in pump inlet hose with too
small of an inside diameter; angle drilled fittings, (see Pg. #112); low mount-
ed fuel tank; high mounted fuel pump
THE CURE
In our VST system, more fuel than the engine will consume is pumped from the main tank
by an electric fuel pump to the VST. The excess fuel flows back to the main tank through the
Backpressure Valve, which holds 2-6 PSI in the VST, thus pressurizing the mechanical pump
inlet with about that same pressure. This helps prevent the fuel from boiling at the inlet of
the pump.
The VST is specially built to act as a low pressure reservoir and as a vapor separator. The
fuel coming from the electric fuel pump, main bypass, secondary bypass, and high speed
bypass has vapor in it. The tank is SPECIALLY BAFFLED to separate the vapor and feed
it to the top center fitting on the tank, then back to the main tank, where it can escape out
of the main tank vent. The pressure in the tank is very dependant on the flow through the
Backpressure Valve, so this flow curve is an important part of the system’s calibrations.
Since the electric fuel pump provides the flow through the valve, it is important to use
only the specified model electric fuel pump; a pump that flows more or less would alter
the calibration. The poppet in this valve is designed not to seal perfectly, so any residual
pressure can be bled back to the main tank when the system is shut off. It is best to install a
pressure gauge in the hose between the VST and the Backpressure Valve. If the system does
not have about 3 PSI when the electric pump is switched on, the engine should not be started.
Check to see that the electric pump is working and the Backpressure Valve is functioning
properly. Under racing conditions, a pressure reading below 1 PSI could cause a lean
condition. Any deviation from the required 2.5-4 PSI should be closely monitored.
The Economizer Valve (Econ) is used to reduce the pump output pressure back closer to what it
would have been if the pump were not pressurized at it’s inlet. The system would be quite rich
at an idle and low speeds if this valve was not used. The poppet in this valve has an orifice, sized
to flow the proper amount of fuel for cranking and idling. Above idle, the poppet moves off it’s
seat and maintains a pressure drop of about 3 PSI across it to counterbalance the pressure being
applied to the inlet side of the fuel pump. It should be installed after the filter to protect it from
dirt. Mounting clamp

INSTALLATION
Use the plumbing schematic entitled “KINSLER VAPOR SEPARATOR TANK SYSTEM” see Page #116. Follow the schematic
carefully; read all the small notes. It would be a good idea to install a 15-PSI gauge to monitor the VST pressure. Install it between the
VST and the Back Pressure valve. The pressure at an idle should be 3-4 PSI. This pressure should not drop below 1-PSI at maximum
RPM wide open throttle operation.
Electric fuel pump wiring: wire the electric fuel pump into the ignition
switch, so that the pump cannot run when the ignition is shut “off”.
PLUS install a separate pump switch in the circuit so even when the
ignition is “on”, the pump can be shut off. It is important NOT to
run the pump when the engine is shut “off”, fuel could drip from the
nozzles and eventually flood the engine.

ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION BASICS
Electronic fuel injection metering, when properly designed and programmed, is
today’s most accurate way to introduce fuel to an internal combustion engine.
With it’s many sensors and input signals it can be tuned to meet the demands of an
engine operating over an extremely broad range of conditions.
The most commonly sensed inputs are:
1) Engine RPM
2) Throttle position and rate of opening/closing
3) Barometric pressure and/or manifold absolute pressure (M.A.P.)
4) Air temperature
5) Water and/or oil temperature, and sometimes fuel temperature
There are two basic types of multi-port EFI : 1) Group Fired
GROUP FIRED 2) Sequential Fired
This injection system generally triggers a group of the injectors
simultaneously. The ignition system or crank trigger provides the signal
to the electronic control unit (ECU) for speed input and thus injector Accel DFI Gen. VII system
triggering. Since a V8 ignition fires four cylinders per revolution, this
gives four injections per revolution on a basic group fired system... eight injections per engine cycle. Most ECU’s can be
programmed to fire the injectors based on the number of ignition/trigger inputs received. Example: a typical V8 engine will be
programmed to pulse 4 or 8 injectors every fourth input pulse from the ECU trigger device.
The good thing about the group fired system is it’s low cost. The problem is that while some injectors will be close to properly
timed, others will not. If an injector is triggered at the wrong crank angle, fuel may collect in areas of the intake port or cling to
the runner walls. When the intake valve opens, only a portion of the fuel injected will be in suspension with the air entering the
cylinder, while the remainder may be running down the port wall as liquid. This can cause erratic mixture conditions to exist in
that cylinder, especially during low speed engine operation, due to the small amount of air movement in the intake runner.
Many engines have at least some liquid fuel coming past the intake valve at various conditions. One saving grace is that the
pressure drop and turbulence across the intake valve causes much of the liquid fuel to become atomized at that point.
Since EFI injectors turn on and off, the interrupted flow causes pressure waves to bounce around in the fuel rails, especially at
wide open throttle where the flows are the highest. In a group fired system you often trigger two or more injectors at a time in a
given fuel rail. The simultaneous pulses can reinforce each other at some RPM to give unusually high pressure pulses, sometimes
causing poor fuel distribution. It often helps to run a larger diameter fuel rail. Our extruded aluminum fuel rails are .680 inch
inside diameter as this smooths out the pulses quite well when compared to smaller sizes. Running higher overall system pressure
also helps. We often run about 72 PSI instead of the more common 36 to 45. The amplitude of the pressure spikes will remain
about the same, but will be relatively smaller based on the percent change in injector flow. We also like the better atomization
achieved with the higher pressure and it sometimes gives better power and economy. Be careful about running too high of fuel
pressure, as some ECUs don’t have enough current to lift the disc or pintle in the injector consistently off the seat against this
added pressure, resulting in poor fuel distribution. Also be sure your fuel pump is capable of supplying the engine with the volume
required at this higher fuel pressure.
SEQUENTIAL FIRED
These systems trigger each injector at a precise crank angle on every cylinder, usually near top dead center overlap (intake valve
opening). This improves idle quality, low speed engine smoothness, and fuel economy. Some systems can even be programmed
for different injection phasing for each speed site in the fuel map.
Triggering a sequential system is more complicated than a group fired system, as it requires a separate triggering signal to refer-
ence the start of the injector firing sequence. This signal is typically generated once every two crankshaft revolutions on a 4 cycle
engine and is most commonly referred to as the “CAM” or “SYNC” signal. The sequential system also requires a “Crank” signal,
generated at a specific crankshaft angle on each cylinder. This signal is used to calculate engine RPM and crank angle position for
injector firing and ignition triggering from the ECU. “Crank” and “CAM” signal requirements will vary with each manufacturers
ECU. Most manufacturers require
either a sine wave signal, typically generated by a magnetic sensor, or a square
wave signal, typically generated by a Hall effect sensor.
The magnetic pickup is a simple magnetic material core wrapped with fine wire. When
a piece of steel is passed by it, a electric pulse is generated. This pickup may not give
as nice a signal as the Hall effect, but it can operate in a much hotter environment and it
is more rugged.
The Hall effect square wave signal is generally very stable at all RPM and produces a
very clean sharp signal wave. A problem with the Hall effect is that it has a solid state
computer “chip” inside of it, so it cannot be surrounded by air that is hotter than 300oF,
or the chip may fail.

approximately $1,500.00 for the base grouped fired unit to $18,000.00 for the most © 2019

ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION BASICS
All of the systems are programmed via a serial link from
an IBM compatible computer and allow the inputs from the
sensors on the engine to be monitored on the screen. Some
systems use graphics for ease in programming. Programming
software ranges from $300.00 thru $2,000.00 depending on the
number of controllable features.
The Basic Fueling in any EFI system is controlled by engine
RPM and the amount of time each injector is kept open. It is
the “open” or “on” time that is varied by all the programming.
This is called the “pulse width” and is measured in milliseconds.
When the user wants to richen the engine, he places a larger value
in the RPM and load sites to increase the pulse width. The entire
group of all the numbers is called the “table” or “map” for each of
the ECU’s programmable functions.
Most users are at least a bit intimidated by all the new things to know when first learning to program an EFI system,
especially if not familiar with using a computer, but it all falls into place after a bit of practice.
SOME GOOD TIPS
1) Use premium quality race type suppression ignition wire. The type we use has what
looks like a tiny coil spring for a conductor. This “spring” design reduces the
magnetic flux field surrounding the wire and therefore reduces the amount of
electro-magnetic interference (E.M.I.).
2) You can never be too careful with the wiring effort. Through all the years, electrical
wire failures have been a prime cause of cars not finishing races, even with just basic
electrical systems. Ty-wrap® the wires often so they don’t vibrate and keep them
away from the distributor cap and spark plug wires. Use silicone sealer to strain-relief
the wires.
3) The ECU must not be subjected to severe vibration or jarring. It is best to mount it on
rubber vibration mounts, which we can supply. Some engines shake way too much for
the ECU, especially a four cylinder. It’s always safest not to mount the ECU on the engine. Holley HP EFI ECU
4) The ECU is made up of microprocessor computer circuits that operate on very tiny
electric inputs from the sensors on the engine. You can’t be too careful with the wiring in the vehicle :
A) The chassis is not an acceptable ground for these systems! Using it as the ground for the ECU has caused many
problems with all the brands and types of ECUs. The problem is that any vehicle has points along its electrical
system with varying voltages, varying resistances, and current surges. By far the safest way to hook up the power
supply to any ECU is to run the positive and negative lead all the way from the terminals on the battery. Put a
relay in the circuit, energized by the ignition switch so that the ECU will be automatically turned off when you
shut off the vehicle. This wiring isolates the ECU from the current surges that pass through the ignition switch.
B) Alternators, electric fuel pumps, and other electric devices that seemed just fine before installing the ECU may
actually cause electric “noise” to be transmitted through the air or through the wires thus disturbing the
functioning of the ECU. Loose or marginal connections in totally unrelated electrical items in the car can cause
electrical surges that may affect the ECU. Make all the connections as secure as you can.
5) The ECU DOES NOT LIKE HEAT !!! Since it is a computer circuit that is subject to failure from heat, and it is
generating it’s own internal heat from it’s circuits, it must be mounted in as cool a spot as you can find. The
driver compartment is usually the best location. The better units need to be surrounded by air not exceeding
140oF while some units are limited to 110-120oF.
6) Nearly all sensors being used on racing EFI systems are from passenger car systems... they don’t have the vibration
or temperature ratings that would be ideal for race vehicles. A few things to do :
A) Mount the air temperature sensor in the air intake duct and isolate if from any heat that could be conducted to
it from the engine.
B) On engines that shake a lot ( just about all four cylinders), replace the sensors often that are mounted on the
engine, especially the throttle position sensor... vibration seems to wear its rotating circuit wiper rapidly.
C) If the sensor shorts or goes open circuit, the output will be at it’s minimum or maximum value... program these
points in the ECU with a “nominal” value so you can keep racing, or at least limp home.
D) When using a hall effect sensor for triggering the ECU, be sure to locate it in an area that will not exceed 300o
Fahrenheit, or it will fail.
E) Mount all temperature sensors in active areas. Examples: mount the air temperature sensor where air will pass
over the sensor tip; mount coolant sensor where there is good coolant flow so you don’t ‘read’ a hot spot.

KINSLER SUPPLIES THE ANSWERS!
A) Electric pumps tested by Kinsler are first run-in on a schedule of varying pressure and
voltage, then flow tested to insure that you receive a good pump and accurate test info.
B) All flows are in pounds per hour (lbs/hr) of .72 specific gravity gasoline.
Divide the flow by 6.0 to obtain approximate gallons per hour.
C) Tests are run with 13.2 volts at the pump terminals. This is on the low end of what
should be available in any vehicle running an alternator, so the flows shown are
conservative. To calculate the flows at slightly different voltages, (+ or - 4 volts),
ratio the flow by the change in the voltage.

Select a pump from the table that will give you the flow and pressure you need. Flow in lb/hr is about
1/2 of the horsepower number of your engine (700 HP would need about 350 lb/hr). Oversizing the
pump about 10% is safer. Oversizing the pump too much may cause a higher than desireable current
draw. Sometimes two smaller pumps are less expensive and draw less current than one larger pump.
Wiring:
You must use the correct wire gauge to assure good voltage to the pump. It is important to fuse
the circuit for protection from excessive current (amp) draw or a possible short.
Most ECU’s that offer electric fuel pump control require a relay to carry the amps needed to run the pump.
The ECU’s delicate transistor circuit may only be capable of 500 milliamps (1/2 AMP).
CAUTION: some ECU’s will ground the relay coil for activiation, while others will supply power
to the coil. Be sure you understand the system you are using before you connect the circuit. See
EFI CONNECTORS, RELAYS, AND ACCESSORIES ON Pages #152-153. FLOW TESTING :

MECHANICAL FUEL PUMPS FOR EFI
Mechanical fuel pumps are ideal for Electronic Fuel Injection for several reasons:
1. Flow output directly related to engine RPM - decreases demand on Pressure Relief valves throughout the rev range,
especially at idle
2. No electric draw - decreases demand on electrical system
3. Fuel compatibility - coated internal pump parts resistant to methanol corrosion; many electric pumps aren’t
4. Fuel pressure - some mechanical pumps are capable of 300+ P.S.I.
5. Weight
PUMP OUTPUT
A mechanical pump’s output is close to linear with the RPM at which it is driven.
Rotate the pump shaft twice as fast and the flow will double. However, even a good
pump is affected by the clearances of the gears and the pressure at the outlet. The flows
at very low RPM and very high RPM will be below the linear graph of the pump’s
output due to internal leakage, caused by the side clearance required for the gears. This
clearance leakage back past the gears has the same effect as a small bypass from the
pump outlet back to the inlet.

EFI PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES
AND ACCESSORIES
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE BASICS
Fuel rail pressure is controlled on an EFI system by a pressure
relief valve which returns excess volume back to the tank
thereby maintaining pressure at the injector’s inlet.
If the pressure relief valve does not do it’s job properly the system
fuel pressure may rise or fall which will cause the fuel flow to do
the same. Should the valve allow the fuel pressure to flutter, then
the fuel delivery will flutter. These conditions could cause
difficulty in starting the engine, inconsistency in the engine’s
performance, difficulty in programming, or engine damage.
Pressure relief valves used with EFI systems have a diaphragm
assembly with a pintle or ball that sets on a seat. A spring(s)
above the diaphragm assembly will force it to set on the seat at a
desired pressure. Fuel pressure from the pump will exert force on
the diaphragm and lift the sealing device off the seat allowing
fuel to pass through the valve. In order for the valve to open
and allow fuel to flow, the spring must be compressed.
Compressing the spring, causes a rise in pressure. When larger Fig. 1
volumes of fuel must be bypassed, the spring will need to be
compressed even further to allow the flow through the valve. The best designed valve will pass the desired amount of volume with
very little pressure rise. See Fig. 1
To clear up a bit of confusion: a pressure regulator limits the pressure going into a system, such as a regulator feeding fuel to a
carburetor... any vapor bubbles in the fuel are vented out through the float bowl. All EFI systems use a pressure relief
valve to control the fuel pressure. Most bypass fuel after the fuel rails which purges the vapor out of the system. If a
pressure relief valve is used on the inlet of the fuel rails there would be no way to purge the vapor out of the rails. This is
very important, since after a hot soak any vapor trapped in the rails would flow out to one or two cylinders, causing those
cylinders to be lean at start up.
VACUUM/BOOST REFERENCE
Some pressure relief valve models have a port (fitting or barb) to connect a manifold absolute pressure (M.A.P.) hose to the top
side of the diaphragm in the valve. At idle or partial throttle the vacuum pulls up on the diaphragm, lowering the fuel pressure.
Under boost, the fuel pressure will be raised. This feature broadens the usable range of the injectors. Ideally the valve should
raise or lower the fuel pressure at a 1:1 ratio. See Fig. 2.
It is desirable to maintain a constant pressure differential across the injectors for consistent fuel mapping (see ORIFICE THEORY on
Pages #202-203). When the injector outlet is installed where it
would be subjected to vacuum (under the throttle plate) or boost
(on the pressure side of blower/turbo), the flow of the injector
will increase or decrease as the resulting outlet pressure changes.
The vacuum and/or boost in a manifold runner is called
manifold absolute pressure (M.A.P. see SENSORS FOR EFI
SYSTEMS on Page #146). Referencing the manifold absolute
pressure to the pressure relief valve causes the fuel pressure in
the rail system to be adjusted by the change in the manifold
absolute pressure. This reference will maintain a constant
pressure differential across the injector and consistent flow.
ADJUSTABLE PRESSURE
Some pressure relief valves are available with an adjustment
screw to allow the fuel pressure setting to be raised or lowered.
Adjustment of the pressure relief valve allows the fuel pressure
to be increased or decreased to change the injector’s flow (see
ORIFICE THEORY on Pages #202-203), thus allowing the user
to add more or less fuel without changing injectors or the fueling
program in the ECU.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE PLUMBING
See EFI PLUMBING on Page #154 regarding the physical Fig. 2
placement of the valve in relationship to the fuel rails. All hose
sizes must have large enough inside diameter so that they will
not cause any restriction, which could cause the system’s fuel pressure to vary with the change in flow.
FILTRATION: It is very important the pressure relief valve has filtered fuel. The mechanical seat of the valve is very sensitive to dirt.
A proper fuel filter is vital to maintain the operational integrity of the EFI system components. We recommend the Kinsler fuel filter
assembly #8170, which has a 10-micron replaceable paper filter element #9031 - see FUEL FILTERS on Pages #162-166. © 2019

partially machined rail for you to finish. injectors, or two injectors .... call our technicians for advice.
Individual components available ! The problem: When a very large EFI injector is pulsed (opened), it takes a
very quick “gulp” of fuel out of the rail, causing a large instantaneous
pressure drop. These pressure drops can reinforce each other in a random
ram tuning within the rail and attached fuel hoses that cause chaotic pressure
WELD-IN INJECTOR BOSSES FOR MANIFOLD pulsing; we have seen plus and minus 30 psi on a 130 psi supply (100 - 160
psi range). As the pressure waves travel through the fuel rail, some injectors
are likely to open when there is a high or low local pressure...
this causes very significant cycle to cycle rich and lean conditions to the
FUEL RAILS cylinders, as once the injector opens, it’s simply a function of the pressure
acting on it’s outlet orifice(s). A pressure gauge will not respond accurately
to these pulses as they are too fast; we use very fast responce piezoelectric
TO MACHINE YOUR OWN FUEL RAIL pressure transducers to analyze these systems.
SEE PAGE #144 FOR TOOLING Why the larger rails help: All fuel has some air in it, especially after the
system has run a little, because the return fuel absorbs more air as it falls
back into the tank. This makes the fuel a bit compressible, thus the larger
rail assists the ability to take a “gulp” with less pressure drop. We have
seen 45 horsepower picked up by just switching from our 8 AN to our 12

SENSORS FOR EFI SYSTEMS
All sensors are not created equal! There are different types, styles, and quality. Similar models
may have different resistance values or response times. Most ECU’s must use specific sensors.
A few select ECUs offer the ability to be programmed for operation with various sensors.
AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
An air temperature sensor is a thermistor which monitors air temperature via a change in resis-
tance. This sensor should be mounted where the incoming air will pass across the sensor tip.
This sensor, when installed in the intake manifold, may be referred to as a M.A.T. (Manifold
Air Temperature) sensor.

Technology electronic systems vibration
#10652 #10653
COOLANT AND OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR
A coolant or oil temperature sensor is a thermistor which monitors coolant or oil temperature via
a change in resistance. This sensor should be installed in the cooling system where the coolant
will pass across the sensor tip. Thermostat housing areas on water cooled engines usually
provides a good location. Be sure to install the sensor on the engine side of the thermostat, so it
will sense the temperature as the engine is warming up... since the ECU needs accurate readings
to properly meter the fuel during warm up.

IDLE AIR CONTROL (I.A.C.) MOTOR installed
A computer controlled motor, of either step or screw design. The idle air motor bypasses
air around the throttles to control engine idle RPM during warm-up or when the engine
is under a load near idle, as when in gear with a torque converter. When the ECU senses
that engine RPM is too low, the I.A.C. motor opens the bypass port allowing additional
air flow to the engine. #10663 #5198

10664 remote I.A.C. housing was specially designed for use on engines equipped with
centrifugal blowers or turbochargers where the controlled air passage must be
sealed in the air stream at the throttle inlet to prevent boost leakage
KNOCK SENSOR
Works like an electronic microphone, listening for sound (vibration)
that represents spark knock or pre-ignition. The sensor produces an
AC signal that increases with the intensity of detected knock. This al-
lows the ECU to retard timing This sensor is NOT used on most racing
and high performance engines because the engines generally produce
too much mechanical noise knock sensor control circuits can be ad- #10664 with #10660
justed to ignore the engines mechanical sounds, however this reduces
it’s ability to accurately detect knock

SENSORS FOR EFI SYSTEMS
MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (M.A.P.) SENSOR
May be used either as a barometric sensor, (compensates for atmospheric pressure
change), or a Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor, depending on how the engine
management system is configured. This sensor may be remote mounted and connected
to the wiring harness or it may be mounted inside the ECU and may require external
plumbing. The ECU powers the MAP sensor via a fixed 5-volt supply, and the sensor
sends a variable 0-5 volt signal back proportional to the absolute pressure. When used
for manifold pressure/vacuum the unit is sensing relative engine load. A high vacuum
(low absolute pressure reading) indicates to the ECU that the engine is experiencing
less load, therefore requiring less fuel. As the absolute pressure reading increases, the
ECU would increase the pulse time to the injectors, therefore suppling more fuel.

EFI PLUMBING
FUEL RAIL BASICS
We recommend that EFI injectors be plumbed
using fuel rails, rather than individual hoses. The
instantaneous opening and closing of the injectors
causes large pressure pulses in the system. This
pulsing can be dampened by common fuel plenums
(rails), a high quality pressure relief valve, and/
or a specially designed damper (see Page #143).
Pressure spikes can cause poor fuel distribution
and in severe cases lean conditions which can
damage the engine.
Two types of fuel rail material :
1) Aluminum - low cost and easy to machine.
2) Stainless steel - for use with alcohol and
nitro.
See EFI FUEL RAILS on Pages #141-143 and
TOOLING TO MACHINE FUEL RAILS
AND INJECTOR MOUNTING on Page #144.
VACUUM/BOOST REFERENCE
The pressure relief valve should be referenced to vacuum and/
or boost. This will help offset the manifold absolute pressure
on the outlet of the injector to maintain a constant injector
flow rate (see EFI PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES AND
ACCESSORIES on Pages #134-135, Fig. 2).
5) Never use a “cross drilled block of metal” type angle fitting on any pump inlet hose... where
the drills intersect there is a razor sharp edge that promotes pump inlet cavitation. The best
solution is to make gentle bends with the hoses, as in the above schematic. If there is a really
tight place, use a bent tube type fitting.

NOTE:
Check out your electrical
system to be sure it will
support the ampere draw
of two pumps,
EFI management system,
ignition, radio, cooling

BACKUP PUMP: If you are installing a second fuel pump as an auxiliary, you will need to install a check valve on the outlet of both
fuel pumps, so no matter which pump is ‘ON’ it will not backflow through the other.
PUMP INTERNAL CHECK VALVES : some pumps have an internal check valve/ball. We have experienced some internal check
valve “sticking” on systems operating in excess of 50 PSI. It may be necessary to remove the internal check valve and install an
external valve that can handle the pressure loads without sticking. See CHECK VALVES on Page #189.

We began as a company that serviced, repaired, and upgraded
other brands of injection systems and components. As time
passed we started to manufacture more and more manifolds and
components, but we still service and sell all the other brands.
This continues to give us a unique understanding of the different
types of injection systems and their limitations, so that we can
do an excellent job of upgrading them.
The year... 1966. The data was very good; it went right out to one of the

WHY DO YOU NEED ONE ?
An injection system that has been properly cleaned, flow tested, and
calibrated, should be good for several years of trouble free service.
There is ONE gremlin that can cut this to one day, even one minute,
perhaps even a few seconds.... DIRT. Dirt is the biggest problem with
ANY type of fuel injection system.
In years past many of the racers ran without any filter, because the ones
on the market were of such poor design that they caused more problems
than they solved. The same racers experienced many
plugged nozzles, ruined or damaged engines, and many failed to finish
a race. Since Kinsler’s introduction of properly designed high capacity
filters, it’s not worth the risk to run without one...

INSTALLATION
Consult the plumbing schematic for the type of fuel system being used and
MAKE SURE the correct type and style of fuel filter is being installed.
Fuel pump inlet: pumps are very sensitive to disturbance in the inlet hose. IT IS A MUST to have
the correct filter or it will damage the pump and/or cause problems. NEVER have return fuel going back
into the pump’s inlet hose. As fuel leaves the pressurized side of the fuel system and enters a non-pressure
area the fuel can flash vaporize, causing damage to the pump and erratic running conditions.
FOR CONSTANT FLOW SYSTEM
We recommend filtering all the fuel coming out of the pump so that all the bypass valves and the barrel valve receive filtered fuel. Do NOT
use paper element filters on this type of system: bits of the paper element from the ‘clean’ side of the filter will clog the
nozzles and/or glue on the element may dissolve in methanol causing the element to separate. Do NOT use paint strainers or
other cloth filters to fill the tank, as lint from them may plug the nozzles. Use our #5610 filter funnel (see Page #182) or a similar
metal element strainer.
FOR EFI SYSTEM
The electric fuel pumps used on EFI systems are susceptible
to dirt. Carefully read all information on fuel filters for pump
inlets. Pressure relief valves are also very susceptible to small
dirt particles. Using the proper filter and keeping it clean is very
important. EFI injectors have inlet filters with very little surface
area, which means they can not handle large amounts of dirt/
debris. Proper fuel filtration should begin at the fuel tank to 45 micron
protect the pump and the fuel system components. Mega
We offer many different fuel filters for the fuel supply system, Monster
disposable lower cost filter assemblies, or billet housings with Mesh
replaceable filter elements. We recommend, whenever possible, inlet filter,
to filter the fuel before it enters the tank. Road vehicles with Weldon
electric fuel pumps should have a filter to protect the fuel pump. pump, 10

Due to the extremely tight tolerance in the Lucas equipment outlet filter
there are several filters throughout the system. Mechanical on
pump inlet, main hose from the pump to metering unit, 4-barrel

system MUST be kept 100% clean. The smallest dirt particle body

SHUT-OFF VALVES
USAGES
Typically used to shut off an engine with constant flow fuel metering. On this type of system it is not wise to shut off the ignition to stop
the engine. After killing the ignition system, the engine “winds down”, and the mechanical fuel pump which is still turning pumps fuel
into the engine. A shut-off valve allows the operator to shut off the engine cleanly; prolonging engine component life, ease in restarting,
and reduces oil dilution. It also aids in obtaining reliable spark plug readings.
DO NOT USE a shut-off to stop fuel flow to a pump that is
rotating. The fuel lubricates the pump, shutting off the
fuel could cause damage to the pump. A shut-off can be
used to allow the servicing of a pump inlet filter,
removing a pump, or removal of a fuel tank.
DO NOT INSTALL a shut-off that will “dead head” the
pump. Always be sure that an adequate flow path back
to the tank is available.
SHUT-OFF MOUNTING
When mounting a shut-off valve be sure that the valve itself and the link-
age\cable\etc. has plenty of room for operation.
Always take into consideration the movement of parts under torque
stress, or vibration, such as body panels, hood, suspension, etc.
On a constant flow injection it is always best to mount the DO NOT mount any two way shut-off

main bypass and the high speed bypass, thus avoiding
excessive fuel pump pressure. Since excess pressure
can ruin a fuel pump instantly, it is always best to pull
the shut-off at low RPM or install a relieving type
shut-off, (normally called a 3-way shut-off).
Spool Type
Acceptable for internal sealing when in good condition. The spool rotates inside
a housing without the aid of any seals to prevent leakage around the spool. Typi-
cally smaller in size than the seal assisted ball type valve. The fit of the spool to
the housing is critical, a worn spool or housing will allow excessive amount of
leakage through the valve assembly. This may allow the engine to continue to
run, or fuel to leak past the valve when the engine is not running.

MECHANICAL PUMP INSTALLATION
Constant flow injection systems sense two engine conditions to meter the fuel. The first is engine speed, which is achieved by using fuel
pump speed... the faster the engine runs, the more fuel the pump delivers. The second is throttle angle, which is achieved by the barrel
valve... as the throttles are opened, the linkage to the barrel valve rotates the spool toward full open from the partially closed off position
that it had at an idle.
Because the fuel pump is an integral part of the metering system, it must be kept in good condition.
The pump requires careful installation and maintenance to prevent premature deterioration and/or failure.
IMPORTANT FUEL PUMP NOTES
1) The pump must be primed before rotating the engine over, as the
fuel lubricates the pump. If the pump is not going to be operated
for an extended period of time, squirt some oil into it and turn it
several revolutions.
2) The fuel pump moves a large volume of fuel. Any restriction in
the pump inlet hose may cause cavitation.
To prevent pump inlet cavitation:
A) Mount the pump as low as possible, this allows for
easier pump priming and better fuel supply conditions.
B) Mount the tank as high and close to the pump as possible.
The far-forward tank location often used in early rear engine
dragsters is NOT ideal; it would be better to locate the tank just in front of the engine, which will reduce the required
inlet hose length.
C) Do not use a filter on the pump inlet. Strain the fuel as the tank is filled, to protect the pump from large pieces of dirt.
If a filter is going to be used on the pump inlet, it must have a large surface area to prevent any restriction.
D) Keep the fuel in the tank cool... a good way is to wrap a wet towel (white, to reflect heat) around the tank and keep it
wet. The evaporating water will keep the fuel cooler than the surrounding temperature.
E) Keep heat away from the fuel pump (exhaust pipes, hot air
from the radiator, coolant system hoses, etc.). For oval track
and road racing, duct cool air over the pump.
F) Be sure that the tank is properly constructed and vented....
See FUEL TANK on Pages #179-180.
G) Be sure that the pump inlet hose and fittings meet the
minimum sizes in the table on Page #102.
3) Index the pump so that an angled inlet fitting is NOT required
(angled fittings on the pump outlet are permissible). It is OK to
drill new holes in the pump flange or the mounting surface to
re-index the pump. our model KW fuel pumps have a swivel flange
for easy indexing.
4) For front cover drives, check the hex drive spud (attached to the
front of the cam) for radial run-out: .015” maximum allowed. On
belt drive units, mount the drive bracket in a vise, lathe, or vertical
mill to check for radial run-out.
5) Check the radial alignment of the pump to the hex drive spud. Due to
manufacturing tolerances, many front covers do not locate the pump in
exact alignment. If not, file the holes for the bolts that secure the cover
to the engine to align the pump with the spud.
Two ways to check alignment :
A) Attach a dial indicator to the spud with the cover in place and check
the run-out to the pump pilot hole in the cover.
B) Make an alignment tool: machine a 3/4” thick round piece with an
OD the same as the ID of the front cover, and with a concentric ID
.015” larger than the drive spud O.D. It should easily slip into the
front cover with the cover and spud in place on the engine.
6) Check hex engagement, male to female. It should be 3/8” minimum, but
be sure that the pump hex doesn’t bottom out in the spud, as this will
quickly ruin the pump. A minimum of .100” clearance is recommended
from the end of the male hex to the bottom of the female.
7) Any time the pump is removed, inspect the drive spud and replace it if
worn. Grease the pump hex when installing it.
8) Most belt drive kits mount the fuel pump at about the water pump height. It is ideal to modify the kit to mount the pump as
low as possible... we stock belts with various lengths, check available sizes (see Page #177) as you setup your pump drive.
The pump should be setup to run one-half of engine speed. NOTE : Use the same above procedures to check the run out
on the belt drive spud.

PRIMER SYSTEM
Excellent for Constant Flow Injection systems,
to assist in starting the engine.
This system reduces the cranking required by purging the air out of the fuel plumb-
ing, especially on initial “fire up” for the day’s racing. Great for mechanical pump
#6065 Primer System lubrication during initial cranking and starting. This system can be plumbed with
gasoline from an auxiliary tank on those applications where methanol is used and
hard starting is experienced, especially in cold weather.

FUEL TANK CONSTRUCTION AND LOCATION
LOCATION
When mounting the fuel tank for a mechanical fuel injec-
tion system, DO NOT locate the maximum fuel level in
the tank above the nozzles. This is to prevent the fuel
from draining into the engine if the fuel shut-off valve is
left open.... this is not a problem in an EFI system as the
injectors shut off tight when the engine is not running.
Due to the design of these types of fuel tanks, it may not be pos-
sible to install any baffles. The best thing to do is to fill the tank
with a fuel compatible foam baffle material.
CAUTION - The foam MUST be compatible with the fuel
and additives that may be used. If the foam breaks down, it will Make a slit in the side of the tank. Slide a
clog the fuel system. Even if the manufacturer states that the .050” to .125” thick plate into the slit so it
foam is compatible, put a piece of it in a sample of the FUEL extends 1” below and 1” to all sides of the
BEING USED and TEST IT !!! fitting. Weld in place. The incoming force
of the fuel will be dissipated against the
plate.

FUEL TANK
CONSTRUCTION AND LOCATION
VENT SIZES
The tank MUST have a vent. Large amounts of fuel volume are being removed from the tank. This volume must be replaced or a
vacuum may be formed inside the tank, causing the fuel to be ‘locked’ inside. Scenario - a straw in a drinking glass: put a finger on the
end of the straw and lift it out of the liquid; the straw retains the liquid until the finger is removed and allows air in.
NOTICE : Fuel tank and cell manufacturers may NOT offer a tank that is properly configured for your application.
Too large of a vent will not hurt anything, too small may cause the pump to cavitate, resulting in an inconsistent fuel supply or damaged
engine parts. Remember when altering a vent by adding length (hose), installing a roll-over valve, or a filter, the vent may require a larger
inside diameter (see ORIFICE THEORY on Pages #202-203).
NOTE: When running multiple pump systems multiply the area of the above vent sizes by the quantity of fuel pumps.
Bore the inside diameter (I.D.) of the tank outlet and pump inlet fittings as
large as possible without unduly weakening the fitting. Chamfer the fitting
on the tank outlet as shown at the right.
The boiling point of a liquid is affected by temperature and absolute pressure. Absolute
pressure takes into consideration altitude. The temperature at which the vapor pressure
of the liquid exceeds the pressure around the liquid is the boiling point. At temperatures
below the boiling point, evaporation takes place only from the surface of the liquid; during
boiling, vapor forms within the body of the liquid. As the vapor bubbles rise through the liquid,
they cause the turbulence and the conditions that are associated with boiling. When the pressure
against a liquid is increased, the boiling point goes up. When the pressure on a liquid is reduced,
the boiling point goes down.
The lowest boiling point is that of helium, -4520F (-268.90C). The highest is probably that
of tungsten, about 10,6500F (59000C).
Water is generally 2120F at one standard atmosphere pressure (29.92” Hg).

ADVANTAGES OVER INDIVIDUAL AIR CLEANERS
Using an individual air cleaner on each ramtube, can seri-
ously lower power output. This is because each cylinder
is drawing in air only about 30% of the time, and when it
does, it takes a very fast “gulp”. This instantaneous flow
rate is very high, and individual air cleaners have a small
area, so they can be restrictive. A small amount of dirt
can cause an even greater loss in air flow.
#5021 #5010
We recommend the use of an air box type filter that Metallic
covers all the ramtubes. When each ramtube takes it’s Hardware window Filter foam
“gulp” of air, it will have the entire area of foam to draw Mesh screen
air through. The foam would have to be extremely dirty 1/4” openings
before any appreciable
restriction would occur.
The air box system does not require removing the ramtube
bells, like some individual air cleaners do.
The bells should NOT be removed, as this causes
appreciable power loss at high engine speeds.
FILTER SYSTEM CONSTRUCTION
Use a large area of foam to insure maximum air flow
through the filter, while increasing its capacity to hold
dirt without becoming restrictive.

AIR FILTRATION - CONTINUED -
When building an air box filter, the top plate should be mounted a minimum of .7 x ramtube inside di-
amter above the top of the ramtubes. Example: .7 x 2.5” diameter = 1.75”. The base plate should
be sealed to the ramtubes. Leave enough room below it to adjust the barrel valve and throttle stops.
Maintain a minimum of 1 1/2” from the straight part of the ramtubes to the sides of the filter ele-
ment.
For dirt track racing we recommend that you construct a sheet metal shield that mounts about 1 1/2”
from the outside of the element, like an upside-down box. This will deflect dirt thrown by the tires.
In cases where it is not practical to use filter-element-sides for your air box, you can construct the air
box using sheet metal sides and duct filtered air from a remote filter via large diameter flexible tubing.
Oiling the foam will increase it’s effectiveness in trapping fine dirt. Use K&N oil (Kinsler #5043) or
about 1 tablespoon of 10W oil per square foot of foam. Put the oil on the foam
and then wring the element until the oil is evenly distributed. DO NOT OVER OIL !!!
To clean the filter foam, use a non-flamable water based cleaning solution that cuts oil: water with dish soap, Kinsler #5042
K&N air filter cleaner, etc. Thoroughly dry the foam before reinstalling, then re-oil it.
CARBURETORS
Our filter foam is excellent for use with carbs. It can be used to
construct a replacement for your original element, or you can use
it to build a custom air filter system.

WHY YOU NEED TO MEASURE AIR DENSITY
The power output of an engine is directly related to the density of the air that it consumes.
Air density is mainly affected by barometric pressure and air temperature.
Each time a piston goes down in your engine, it draws in the same volume of air, but the weight of that volume will vary from
day to day. If the atmospheric pressure increases (higher barometer), the air becomes compressed slightly... denser. If the
temperature cools, the air shrinks slightly, which also makes it denser. The denser air makes the same volume weigh more, so
more power will be produced.
The challenge is to measure the density change so the correct adjustment to the fuel rate can be made to keep a proper air-fuel
mixture... best power is obtained with just the right mixture... richer or leaner gives less power. For gasoline this ratio is about
twelve pounds of air to one pound of fuel, or 12:1.
Since neither mechanical injection nor carbs automatically change the fuel rate when the air density changes, the fuel system
needs to be re-jetted to keep the mixture correct.
If density increases but the fuel is not increased, the mixture will be lean. This will cause a power loss and could damage the
engine. Adding fuel to get the proper mixture will give us a power increase.
Lower air density can hurt power output in two ways. Example : the car was running good; the air density was 96%
and the vehicle was jetted just right. Now the air density has dropped to 87%, a loss of 9%. See “UNDERSTANDING
PERCENTAGE” on Page #194.
1) Since there is 9% less air to burn, there has to be a 9% loss of power... there is no way of correcting anything
to get that back. Of course, if the engine is supercharged or turbocharged, adjusting the overdrive or
wastegate is a way to compensate.
2) Even though there was a loss of 9% of air density, the constant flow metering system doesn’t sense it, so it
puts in the same amount of fuel as it did before. This makes the mixture too rich, which costs about another
5% of the power, making the total loss 14% (9% + 5%)!!! If the fuel system is leaned out to the proper air/
fuel ratio, the 5% will be recovered, so there is only the 9% basic loss.
Everyone at the track will be affected the same way. It’s just a matter of who can properly adjust for it.
HOW DOES THE AIR DENSITY GAUGE WORK
The gauge has a metal bellows with air sealed inside. Higher atmospheric pressure
compresses the bellows and moves the needle higher. Cooler temperature shrinks the air
in the bellows, which pulls the bellows together and also moves the needle higher. Thus
the gauge will give one needle reading to show the affect of atmospheric pressure and
temperature change on the air density.
CALIBRATION The gauges we calibrate are done to read 100% at 59oF and 29.92
IS OPTIONAL inches of mercury pressure (by international agreement, these are the
conditions for one standard atmosphere, STP). Some brands of gauges
are calibrated differently, and some gauges get abused, so they will
read differently than yours. Use only your gauge to take readings!
It doesn’t matter if two gauges don’t read exactly the same, since the readings are rela-
tive.... as long as you use the same gauge you should get good results. If you have a
problem with your gauge we can test and possibly repair it.

AIR DENSITY GAUGE - CONTINUED -
CAUTION
All weather broadcasts and weather maps give barometer readings corrected to sea level
(zero altitude), so that high and low pressure weather fronts across the country can be
compared regardless of the altitude of the weather station. Example: Denver, Colo-
rado reads 24.00” on their barometer, but they are 5,000 feet above sea level, which
causes a 5.02” lower pressure, so they broadcast a 29.02” reading (24.00 + 5.02).
To do proper calculations you must use the actual reading of the location you are
at. The best way to do this is to have your own air density gauge. If you don’t
have a gauge, you could obtain a barometer reading from a nearby airport (which
will always be corrected to seal level), then corrrect it back to your altitude by
subtracting 1.0” for each thousand feet
Note that the sign is (-) because the air density has decreased; go to a leaner main jet. If the sign is (+) the air
density has increased and go to a richer main jet. A high reading on the gauge means that there is an increase in
density.
4) Go to the table on the next page and find your application. Go across in the table until coming to the
per cent change that is closest to what has been calculated. Change the main jet by the amount shown
in the column heading.
Example - Running an unblown gas engine, 427 cubic inches, -1 fuel pump. Under the “Unblown Gas” heading, use the
“402-520” line, -1 pump. Go across to the percentage that is closest to the one calculated above: 8.5%. The 9.0% figure is
closest, so go .010” leaner (larger on fuel injection) on the main jet.
UNDERSTANDING PERCENTAGE
One whole item of anything is 100% of it. 9% of an apple is 9/100 or .09 of it. Rather than saying 9/100
or .09 of the apple, it is much easier to say 9%. To make any fraction into a %, move the decimal point two
places to the right, thus .09 becomes 9%.

Example: 1/2 of something is .50 of it or 50% 1/8 of something is .125 or 12.5%

FUEL ANALYZER KIT FOR SPECIFIC GRAVITY
FOR FUEL INJECTION OR CARBS
LAB GRADE HYDROMETERS
FOR GAS, ALKY, NIITRO
UNDERSTANDING SPECIFIC GRAVITY (sp gr)
The sp gr of any substance is its weight compared to an
equal volume of water. Since water is used as the
reference, it was given a sp gr of 1.0 At 68 deg F
(20 deg C) water weighs 8.330 pounds per gallon;
62.32 pounds per cubic foot.
Examples:
1. Gasoline with a sp gr of .740 is 74% of the
density of water.
2. What is the weight of a gallon of gasoline with
.740 sp gr at 68 deg F? .740 x 8.330 = 6.16pounds
3. What is the weight of a gallon of methanol with .792 sp gr
at 68 deg F? .792 x 8.330 = 6.60 pounds
The second and third example above are valid at about room temperature, but #6015 Complete
keep in mind that as any substance is heated it expands, so the specfic gravity of any kit plus air density
liquid decreases (weighs less per gallon) as its temperature increases. Because of this, sp gr
must always be referenced to some standard temperature. Each of our hydrometer kits contains gauge. Has easy
a temperature correction table so you can read the sp gr of your fuel at any temperature, then procedure sheet
correct it to any standard temperature you want to use; we like 70 deg F. If you are measuring
sp gr at about room temperature, using that reading will usually be close enough, but if it is ten
or twenty degrees hotter or cooler, you might want to use the correction tables.
WHY CHECK THE FUEL
Engines perform best in a narrow band of air-fuel ratios, determined by the weight of the air and
fuel. Since all fuel injection systems and carburetors meter fuel by volume, a jet change must be
made if the sp gr of the fuel changes significantly. This change is to adjust the volume to keep
the weight of the fuel going to the engine the same. Example: if the sp gr of the fuel increases
4%, then the volume injected must be decreased 4% to keep the weight going to the engine the
same.
Many race tracks and sanctioning bodies use our Fuel Analyzer Kit to spot-check the
sp gr of the racers’ fuel, to see if it is consistent with the fuel that is legal at that track.

UNDERSTANDING FUELS
HOW TO CHECK THE FUEL
See detailed instructions on Pages #198-200 and supplied with fuel analyzer kit. Put enough of the liquid to be
tested in the glass cylinder to allow the hydrometer to float. Hold the thermometer in the liquid so the bulb is sub-
merged but not touching any part of the glass cylinder. Carefully sight across the bottom of the meniscus and read
the hydrometer. The hydrometer MUST be floating freely, not in contact with the glass cylinder or your fingers.
OCTANE
Octane is a unit of measurement used to rate a fuels ability to resist detonation. Detonation (spark knock, ping)
is the tendency of the fuel to explode violently in the engine rather than burning smoothly. If the fuel detonates,
the pressure in the combustion chamber rises so fast and high that it is like beating on the top of the piston with
a hammer... this is a primary cause of piston, rod, and bearing failures. The higher the octane rating the higher
the resistance of the fuel to detonation. Racing gasoline is blended to provide additional octane rating, not more
energy. In fact, all grades of gasoline have about the same amount of energy per pound. Increasing the octane,
can get more power, since more compression or spark advance can be used. Note: too much octane can slow the
burn rate of the fuel causing a loss in power.
GASOLINE
There is a big difference in specific gravity between various brands and grades of gasoline, often even between
two batches of the same brand. The typical range of premium automotive pump gasoline is .730 to .760., aviation
gasoline is .680 to .720, some unleaded racing gasolines are as heavy as .790. Many blends of pump gas now
contain as much as 10% ethanol. These blends generally fall into the heavier specific gravity range.
For Example : Unocal 76 ® unleaded racing gasoline .788 @ 590F (150C).
Unocal 76 ® leaded racing gasoline .728 @ 59oF (150C).
METHANOL (ALCOHOL)
The specific gravity of pure methanol is .792 @ 68oF (200C). Methanol, methyl alcohol or wood alcohol
(CH3OH), is usually made from natural gas. It was first discovered in 1823 by condensing hot gases from the
burning of wood. It has been the fuel for Indianapolis 500 race cars since 1965. Methanol has the ability to
absorb water, even right out of the air. Keeping your fuel sealed will help prevent contamination. Adding water
to alcohol will increase the specific gravity. High levels of water contamination will cause the alcohol to normally
get cloudy. Loss of engine performance will typically occur before the contamination reaches these high levels.
Fuel should be checked with a hydrometer before using it, maybe even before you leave your supplier, just to be
sure to avoid any problems. Methanol is extremely corrosive to aluminum and magnesium, great care should be
taken to keep this reaction to a minimum. The fuel system components should be of materials that do not react
with methanol (stainless steel, brass, etc.) or should have a protective coating. Methanol crystallizes when it drys,
this dried methanol does not readily dissolve. The fuel system will need constant attention. When not in use, the
fuel should be drained out of the system. Flushing, or “pickling” with gasoline is a common practice.
ETHANOL
The specific gravity of ethanol is .815 @ 68oF (200C). Ethanol, ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol (CH3CH2OH), is a liquid derived from corn
or other grain, other agricultural products or waste. Because ethanol is corrosive (due to oxidation), the same modifications must be made
to the fuel system as methanol to protect the fuel system components.
In the 1880s, Henry Ford built one of his first automobiles - the quadricycle - and fueled it with ethanol. Early Ford Model T’s had
a carburetor adjustment that could allow the vehicle to run ethanol fuel that was produced by America’s farmers. Ford’s vision was
reportedly to “build a vehicle affordable to the working family and powered by a fuel that would boost the rural farm economy”. However,
in the past due to whatever reasons any alternative fuels other than gasoline were suppressed. Today, we are seeing the return of
alternative fuel vehicles.
NITROMETHANE
The specific gravity of pure nitromethane is 1.139 @ 60-70o F. Nicknamed ‘nitro’ is chemically CH3NO2. Pure alcohol (.792 @ 68o F) is
considerably different than nitromethane, it is easy to determine the percentage of nitromethane in alcohol by measuring the specific grav-
ity of the mixture. Adding nitro to alcohol will increase its specific gravity. A table can be set up to show the percentage of nitromethane
versus specific gravity (We supply this when a hydrometer or fuel analyzer kit is purchased).
The procedure is only slightly complicated by the fact that temperature affects the specific gravity, since any fluid expands as it is warmed,
and therefore has a lower specific gravity. For example, take a 60% mixture of nitro and alcohol and heat it, we know that it is still a 60%
mixture, yet its specific gravity is lower.
Some brands of nitro hydrometer kits are sold without correction tables. Errors of 5% are common if no temperature correction is used.
For best engine performance the nitro percent mixture should be kept within one or two percent of what the engine was tuned for.
NOTE: Mixing nitromethane creates a mild endothermic reaction, which absorbs heat from the mixture, thus cooling it
(this is the opposite of most reactions, which give off heat). The maximum affect is with about a 50% mixture, which cools
approximately 15oF.

SPECIFIC GRAVITY
PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING OBSERVED SPECIFIC GRAVITY
1) Holding the glass cylinder almost horizontal, place the hydrometer
and thermometer into it. Slowly bring the cylinder to an upright Thermometer
position while jiggling them gently to the bottom.
2) Fill the cylinder to within an inch of the top with a sample of the Hydrometer
gasoline. This will cause the hydrometer to project out of the top
for easy positioning with your fingers.

All size blown -1 1.8 3.6 4.5
b) For carburetors... Calculate the area of the old main jets and increase or decrease them by the same percentage found in
step #3 above. Going larger on carburetor jets is richer.
[ Old jet area = (old jet area X % from step #3) ] = new jet area

SPECIFIC GRAVITY
The 0 in this chart refers to straight pure methanol (.792 sp. gr. @ 680F)
and the numbers refer to the percentage of nitromethane in methanol.
Typically the grade of methanol used for racing is not pure in the true sense.
Most is really classified as anywhere from 96 to 97% pure. There is 100% pure
methanol but it is far more costly.
If your base number is different than .792 for pure methanol then you will need to
adjust all the numbers of the chart to compensate for the difference.

** - These are approximate values, especially the latent heat and mixture temperature drop.
Note : water is 8.3 pounds per gallon.
Example of use : A popularly accepted rule of thumb is that of the total heating value of gasoline, only about 1/3 goes down
the drive shaft as work, as about 1/3 goes out of the radiator as heat and about 1/3 goes out of the exhaust
pipes as heat and blow-down pressure.
Lets look at a 331 cubic inch small 648 hp @ 7800 rpm with .46 BSFC (Brake Specific Fuel Consumption)
block professional road race engine: 470 ft-lb @ 6750 rpm with .42 BSFC
Looking at our conversion chart, we know that one horsepower = 42.44 Btu
Torque From the conversion chart, hp = torque (ft-lb) x rpm = 470 x 6750 = 604 hp
5252 5252
604 hp x 42.44 Btu/min per hp = 25,634 Btu/min work done by the engine
From the conversion chart, BSFC = lb/hr fuel so lb/hr = BSFC x obs hp = .42 x 604 = 254 lb/hr
observed hp
254 lb/hr = 4.233 lb/min gasoline 4.233 lb/min gas x 18,400 Btu/lb gas = 77,887 Btu/min heat value in the gasoline
burned
Efficiency = 25,634 = 33%
77,887
Horsepower 648 hp x .46 BSFC = 298 lb/hr gas = 4.968 lb/min 4.968 lb/min x 18,400 Btu/lb = 91,411 Btu/min heat value
648 hp x .4244 Btu/min per hp = 27,501 Btu/min work done by engine
Efficiency = 27,501 = 30%
91,411
NOTE It makes sense that the engine is less efficient at the horsepower peak than the torque peak,
as the air pumping losses through the intake ports are higher at the horsepower peak.
* We use these test pressures because 55 psi gives about 1.35 the flow as 30 psi, and 100 psi gives about 1.35 the flow as 55
psi…. we like having the flow ratios about the same. See the very bottom of this page for the formula that we use to calculate
these ratios.
THREE ORIFICE EXAMPLES BELOW
A sharp edge at the orifice entrance (middle example) causes the flow stream to converge, forming a vena contracta, which is a narrowing-
in of the flow path of the particles. The diameter of the vena contracta becomes the effective flow diameter of the hole, thus the flow is
reduced. At very low flows there is no vena contracta, while at very high flows there is a large vena contracta causing as much as a 20%
flow loss, so it varies with flow and is unstable. It is always ideal to use the “BEST” design, which we use in all of our metering pieces.
CHOKED FLOW Example: Injecting fuel into a supercharged manifold. If your nozzle pressure is 70 psi and your boost is 10 psi,
you might expect the flow to be what the nozzle is rated to flow at 60 psi. It will actually flow at a 70 psi rate, because the downstream
pressure has no affect on flow until its absolute value (gauge reading + 14.7 psi atmospheric pressure) is about ½ of the upstream absolute
pressure. To find the downstream pressure that will just start to reduce the flow when there is 70 psi upstream: 70 + 14.7 = 84.7 ½ x
84.7 = 42.3 absolute psi, – 14.7 = about 27.6 gauge psi. This is affected by fuel temperature, actual atmospheric pressure, and properties
of the fuel.

ORIFICE THEORY
UNDERSTANDING AN ORIFICE - DIAMETER VERSUS AREA
The flow of an orifice CAN NOT be interpolated by the ratio
of the diameter, an .080” diameter orifice does not flow twice
that of a .040” (see FLOW THROUGH AN ORIFICE on Page #205).
However flow can be interpolated by the ratio of the
area in square inches of an orifice.
The diameter can be converted by the formula:
(radius x radius) x 3.14159 (Pi) = area
The area of .040” is .001257 in2 and .080” is .00527 in2
(see below quick reference chart).
.005027 in2 (.080” dia.)
.001257 in2 (.040” dia.) = 3.999 ratio
So an .080” diameter orifice flows 3.999 times more than a .040” diameter orifice.
This fomula can be used for Kinsler’s electric enrichment or lean-out valve (see Pages #89 and #168 about this valve).
Example for lean-out valve; If a .116” main jet is good for the basic mid-range and .124” is best when on transbrake,
two-step, etc. You can calculate the K-jet for the lean-out by the following:
.012076 in2 (area of .124”) - .010568 in2 (area of .116”) = .001508 in2 (the difference in area of the two jets).
Go to the chart and find area close to .001508 in2 which is approximately .044”.
This is the jet to install in the lean-out valve. © 2019

MANIFOLD MAINTENANCE AND HINTS
METHANOL (ALCOHOL) IN THE FUEL SYSTEM AFTER RACING
Do not leave methanol in the system for more than two days, as it can be VERY CORROSIVE to aluminum parts, especially when it
has some moisture in it. We offer many adapter fittings and components that are hard-anodized then impregnated with a sealer to resist
corrosion by methanol. Color anodizing (usually red and blue) provides only very slight protection.
Methanol becomes a gel in it’s early stage of drying out, then becomes a white
powdery residue when it dries completely. Both of these forms of dried alcohol
will clog nozzles and fuel filters.
TWO methods for Short Term Storage:
1) Drain Method: Totally drain the fuel tank and blow out the plumbing
lines, barrel valve, nozzle lines, bypasses, fuel pump, etc. Oil the pump
lightly.
2) Gasoline Method: Drain the methanol out of the fuel tank. Put in a
couple of gallons of gasoline. Start and run engine (Note: engine will
run poorly and very rich), changing to a much larger main bypass jet will
help reduce this problem. The gasoline will mix with and flush most of
the methanol out of the system. Depending on bypass valve pressure
settings the gasoline may not blow through all of them. Leave gasoline
in system till ready to use again. Drain out gas, put in methanol, most
likely install fresh spark plugs (fouled by gasoline), and go.
MAGNESIUM MANIFOLD AND PARTS
Water and methanol (alky) are VERY CORROSIVE to magnesium. Take great Magnesium manifold runners
care not to let a magnesium manifold or parts be exposed to water or liquid methanol. heavily corroded by liquid

PROPER LONG TERM STORAGE OF AN INJECTION SYSTEM
Totally disassemble the fuel system, blow out all hoses, lines, tank, and manifold.
PUMP: Drain all the fuel. Using motor oil, fill the inlet, rotate pump over
several times, then cap.
BARREL VALVE: Blow out fuel at idle and wide open throttle, then cap
secondary port. Using motor oil fill the inlet, rotate spool
back and forth several times, add more oil, cap off inlet.
BYPASS VALVES AND FILTER: disassemble and clean.
NOZZLES: remove from manifold, then blow out.
Note: light spray oils may evaporate that is why we recommend motor oil.
NOZZLE INSTALLATION
Any time the nozzles are removed from the manifold, put some anti-seize compound (Kinsler #1920) or heavy grease on the threads
before reinstalling them. This will help prevent the nozzles from becoming seized into the casting. This is especially important on
manifolds using methanol or nitromethane, since these fuels setup a corrosive action between the brass or aluminum nozzle body and
the magnesium or aluminum casting. Do not overtighten the nozzles: NPT thread nozzles only have to be tight enough to maintain
their position and o-ring nozzles only have to be tight enough to seat the hex
and crush the o-ring.
BYPASS VALVE INSTALLATION
Do NOT screw jet cans directly into the fuel pump. Engine vibration can be severe
enough that the poppet or jet may bounce off of it’s seat, causing the engine to run lean
or erratic, especially in four cylinder engines. Installing the jet can by a hose on each end
eliminates this problem; the hoses dampen the shock.
MANIFOLD AND
LINKAGE LUBRICATION
A little oil applied to the shafts and rod ends helps keep them from sticking. Apply oil on
the throttle shaft at both sides of the casting/bushing; rotate the throttle to allow the oil to
penetrate. Oil the ball section of the rod ends (heim joints). Wipe off any excess.

LUCAS METERING
Lucas fuel metering equipment was used on all F-1 cars from the mid 50’s to mid 70’s, and most top sports cars, including
all of the Can-Am cars of the 60’s and 70’s. Jim Kinsler started KFI in 1967... built the Lucas systems for most of the
Can-Am cars, including the factory McLaren cars made famous by the always-winning Bruce McLaren and Denny
Hulme. It is still very good for racing, as it has very precise fuel distribution at any RPM or throttle angle, and excellent
vapor handling. Lucas only made metering pieces, not complete injection systems. To make a complete system you need
a manifold, metering unit, pump, drive, fuel cam, filter, linkage, calibration, etc.
We were the North American distributor for Lucas in the 70’s and 80’s. We still have much new old stock and used
equipment for 4, 6, 8, and 12 cylinder engines.
We offer a premium line of modified Lucas equipment. The parts for every metering unit, pump, and nozzle are qualified,
then assembled, and flowtested. The quality of these “Premium Race Grade” pieces is unsurpassed.
We service Lucas equipment for any application, including Ferrari, Maserati, Can-Am cars, F-1 cars, Triumph, offshore
boats, etc. We rebuild worn and seized metering units, pumps, nozzles, etc. to new specs.

The Lucas nozzles do an excellent job of atomizing, but no fuel metering function.
The metering unit controls the volume of the fuel being injected. All the nozzles
should be set at the same opening pressure, usually 56 PSI.
We set each nozzle pressure, then thoroughly flow test it, then epoxy the adjuster
shut. The nozzle body has a 14 x 1.25 mm thread. The thread at the top for the

ADJUSTING THE METERING UNIT
TIMING THE METERING UNIT
Proper fuel timing gives best low RPM engine torque and throttle response; it has
very little affect on high RPM horsepower.
For most engines, the best fuel timing is about 40 crankshaft degrees before top
dead center, coming up to start the intake stroke. This timing usually works well,
but another setting may be better for a given application. No harm will result from
trying other timings.
If the engine builder specifies a certain timing, start with that, but you might try
others......
To time the engine at 40 degrees before top dead center coming up to
start the intake stroke:
1. Rotate the crankshaft until it is 40 degrees before top dead center, coming
up to start the intake stroke.
2. Remove the #1 nozzle line banjo bolt from the metering unit (be very
careful when reinstalling it as it cross threads easily).
3. With the right angle drive unit removed from the engine, rotate the drive
gear on the bottom in the running direction until the ports in the rotor and
the bronze sleeve of the metering unit full line up.
4. When reinstalling the drive unit in the engine, try to mesh the drive gear
to the cam so that it will keep this fuel timing. It is not critical to be exact.

ADJUSTING THE METERING UNIT
TO MAKE LARGE MIXTURE CHANGES
Remove the four nuts securing the top of the metering unit and remove it.
Adding shims makes the unit richer (moves fuel cam farther from lifter).
A .002” shim change will usually take care of a large change in atmo-
spheric conditions.
SETTING IDLE FUEL RATE
Note : The “idle” fuel rate should be set for best throttle response
as you quickly open the throttles; not for a smooth
nonsmoking idle. The Lucas unit does not have an
“accelerator pump shot”, so the idle must be rich to
compensate for this.
1. Start the engine and synchronize the throttle blades by
using a Uni-syn air flow meter.
2. To richen the idle fuel rate, adjust the hex link to the cam to
move it in the direction it moves as you open the throttles.
TURNBUCKLE VERSUS SHIM AND
ECCENTRIC FUEL RATE CHANGES
If a wide open throttle fuel rate change is made by changing shims or using the eccentric pin, it
will affect the idle fuel rate since the shuttle travel at the idle position will also be changed by the
same amount. Reset the idle fuel rate for best throttle response.
Changing the “idle” fuel rate by using the hex link to reindex the fuel cam does not affect
the wide open throttle (wot) fuel rate when using a KINSLER cam as it has no lift cut
into it from 65o to 90o past it’s nominal idle position. This is not only convenient, but proper, as
a throttle plate does no throttling after about 65o of opening, so the engine is at wot air flow from
that point on, and needs no additional fuel.
ANGLES
The throttle plates are cut at a 14o angle so they won’t stick in the throttle bore. Idle is about 1o,
or 15o total, so the throttle shaft only rotates about 75o to wide open throttle (90o) from an idle. Fig. 1
The fuel cam is connected to the throttle shaft with a parallel four bar linkage (see Page #62) so it also rotates about 75o to go from idle to
wot. Since it has no lift from 65o of travel to 90o, it can be reindexed to set idle fuel rate without affecting the wot fuel rate at all. It is rare
to reindex the fuel cam more than 5o from the as shipped position to change the idle fuel rate significantly.
Some fuel cams have reference lines placed on them for checking the nominal, or “as shipped” cam position. The marks should be aligned
as shown in Fig. 1 when the throttles are wide open on small block Chevrolets. On big block Chevrolet units, the throttle would be closed.

LUCAS MECHANICAL FUEL PUMP
Each Lucas mechanical pump supplied by Kinsler will have a red flow
test tag wired to it. This assures that the pump has been put through a
run-in schedule of varying pump speeds and pressures for at least 1.2
hours. The pump is flow tested at the start and end of the run-in, and if
there is more than a very small difference in flow between the start and
end flow tests the pump is rejected as unsatisfactory.
PRESSURE
The pressure relief (PR) valve is set to maintain system pressure at about
150 PSI on a Can-Am car with a 500 cubic inch engine, putting out about
700 HP.... this requires about .117” shuttle stroke. Since the nozzles crack
at 56 PSI, this leaves 94 PSI (150 - 56) to move the two shuttles inside the
metering unit.
CAUSES OF PUMP FAILURE
DIRT
It can’t be stressed too much that cleanliness is of supreme
importance to any fuel system. It only takes one small grain of
dirt to start a scoring between the pump gears and the housing.
Making fuel lines: When you cut steel braided hose, small
fragments from the braid get inside... it must be flushed very
thoroughly to get all of these out... some always lodge at the end
of the barb of the hose fitting. Lucas wide gear mechanical pump segment

It is excellent to run a Kinsler 25 micron Monster stainless mesh
pump inlet filter, part #8309-025 (see Page #164). It is ideal to
place this in the fuel line immediately before the pump so it will
catch any dirt left inside the line during fabrication. It measures
just 2.5” in diameter by 4” long and comes with 8 AN male flare
ends (can also be supplied with 6 AN male flare fittings).
LACK OF PUMP PRIMING
It is important that the pump is primed with fuel before the
engine is cranked over at all, since the fuel is the only lubrication
for the pump. It is smart to put a few drops of oil inside the
pump each time you reinstall it on the engine, for initial
startup lubrication.
Turning on the high pressure electric starting pump doesn’t
necessarily push any fuel into the mechanical fuel pump. This
is because there is a check valve at the outlet of each pump, to Disassembled Lucas mechanical

NOTES - PLUMBING MULTIPLE FUEL TANKS
SEE PLUMBING SCHEMATIC ON PAGE #216 FOR
READ T H I S !! MULTIPLE FUEL SUPPLY TANKS ON A LUCAS SYSTEM.
This schematic greatly simplifies the plumbing and operation of the Lucas system when using multiple fuel tanks. It eliminates the need
for multiple valves to select the desired fuel tank to run on. It also eliminates the need for selector valves running back to each tank.
Simply install one toggle switch on the instrument panel for each supply pump... these should all be wired through the ignition switch,
(including the Lucas high pressure fuel pump) so no pump can be left running by mistake. Note: check amperage capacity of each switch.
Select the tank that you want to use by using the corresponding fuel pump. This will deliver fuel through a one way check valve, then to
the vapor separator tank. The check valves keep the fuel from backflowing into the other tank(s).
To switch to another tank: Leave the first pump running and flip on the switch for the next
tank. After allowing about twenty seconds for the new pump to purge out the trapped vapor,
flip off the switch to the first pump.
A critical item for this system is the Kinsler Vapor Separator Tank (VST). It must be
constructed with a proper internal vapor separator chamber, or the tank will fill up with
vapor. The Kinsler VST tanks have a proper chamber design:

The table gives the final regulated pressure for this system on
a small block Chev. If extremely fine pressure regulation is
desired, two regulators can be installed in parallel, see table
at right. Connect the two inlets together and connect the two
outlets together. This should not be needed except on larger
gasoline big block engines, or engines that run methanol. There

MECHANICAL PUMP
SUPPLYING CARBURETOR
SYSTEM, WITH NITROUS OXIDE
The mechanical pump MUST be
capable of supplying the required
volume at the RPM the nitrous is
engaged. Just because the pump is
large enough to feed the engine at
7000 RPM with nitrous, DOES NOT
mean it is big enough to supply the
volume of fuel at 3500-4000 RPM with
nitrous. When engaging the nitrous
at low RPM, a larger pump will be
required to get the volume needed. DO
NOT CONFUSE VOLUME WITH
PRESSURE. There may be plenty of
pressure before the nitrous is engaged,
but when the enrichment solenoid opens
and starts to flow volume the pressure
will immediately drop. Call us!

Note on Connecting Tubing :
Putting a bead around the end of both of the tubes is OK,
but under boost conditions there is still a good chance that
the two pieces will blow apart causing not only loss of
boost but depending on where fuel is being injected a fire
hazard. The best thing to do is to weld an ear/flange on
both pieces then either safety wire them together, or even
better, bolt them together.
