a techniccal question: has anyone tried 7/8" ( 22.225 mm ) dishwasher / garbage disposal drain hose as a substitute for the apparently unobtainable 21 mm hose from the breather box to the S boot?

this picture is not right for all years:

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

the Y labeled B is down under the blue block just above and to the right of the distributor

the Aux air regulator ( where G meets F ) is in the bend of H ( breather box hose )

the decel valve looks very different

on my '77

Hi
I have a 78 bus camper. it has a 2L with good compressions with dual weber 44. I just took it over interstate 5 to Sierra mountain in California and on 6% incline at 47-50 in third gear doing well. could not go any faster. outside temp 30 degrees centigrade( 86 F) and the oil temp steady at 220F. is this good, bad or ugly?

now i Have purchased another 78 bus for parting. it has a complete fuel injection engine that needs rebuilding. it was cheaper and I could never find all the fuel injection parts so compete. my question: is it doable to rebuild this engine as a high performance and maintain the fuel injection or I am ignorant? and if it is possible what are the parameters and special things that needs to be done? is the stock rebuilt Fuel injection engine going to give a better performance than what I have on described above? and who is a good fellow in southern cal who knows what he is doing. all suggestion are appreciated. thanks

thanks a lot for your tips. do I( my mechanic) have to do anything else with transmission etc. I was reading about the freeway flyer trans from Rancho.
of course the cost is also important. the present transmission is rebuilt and is good. and please educate me what is Raby 9550? thank you.

Hi Bleyseng

I talked to the mechanic and he says yes that could be done but then it will not pass the somg test due to the incereased emmison etc and the catalytic convertor is not able to handle it. it makes sense what is your opinion? thanks.
