Another mc2100 question

[ken98k]

I may be wrong but I beleive the 1.02 venturi is the next smaller size after 1.08
Would the 1.02 work on a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l ?

From what I've read in my research into the MC2100 the 1.08 is ideal for the AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l , but the 1.02 and the next size up(can't remember right now) do work on a stock AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l if you know how to tune them.

My 74' CJ5 has the AMC 304 with a 1.08 and runs great, (stock carb I think) so I thought a smaller v size might be a little better on a smaller motor.

There were a couple real good posts by elwoodblues on mc2100 that had cfm charts and best for what engines i will see if i can find it for you when i get to work. I believe the 1.08 is also what my 74 with AMC 304 has, but also seem to remember the AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l ran great with it too according to the chart / my memory of reading...

Ill post you a link in a little bit...

Here's the chart JR74CJ5 was talking about;

venturi = CFM
.98 = 190
1.01 = 240
1.02 = 245
1.08 = 287
1.14 = 300
1.21 = 351
1.23 = 356
1.33 = 424

http://www.carburetion.com/Calc.asp If you follow this link to the CFM calculator, he get roughly 300 CFM needed for a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l . My 2¢, I think you'll starve your engine with a 1.02. I run a 1.14 and it runs well and still get's 15(ish) MPG.

Using that calculator I got 253 CMF when I input 4000 rpm,

Yeah Elwood, if you can help out on best way of using the calculator link, I'd also appreciate it... Like for instance, for the poster, do we put in the max RPM we run our engine at? Or max spec'ed rpm ok to run at? or on the stock, mildly built etc question, what would say AMC 304 with a DUI distributor, msd streetfire ignition box and plugs gaped @ .050 be considered? still stock-ish, or mildly built? (that would be a slightly thread steeling question) but i basically mean per the calculator, what is stock - mild built gap etc...

CID x RPM / 3456 x VE% = CFM

CID= Cubic Inch Diameter
RPM= Maximum Engine RPM
VE%= Volumetric Efficiency


* Most engines are capable of achieving only about 80% VE (Volumetric Efficiency). A modified street engine with ported heads, headers, intake and carburetor can achieve about 85% VE. With extensive head and valve work and a new cam an engine may reach 95% or even more. It's normally not possible to achieve VE's over 100% without some form of forced induction.

** This represents the minimum CFM required, to support a certain cubic inch engine at the maximum RPM potential of that engine. The number represented by this equation does not account for obstructions such as air filters, or inaccurate CFM ratings found on some carburetors.


AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l x 4500 / 3456 x 80% = 268.75

Using this formula and estimating that the typical max RPM for a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l is 4500 and the VE to be roughly 80% we get a CFM of 268.75. It is also common that most CFM ratings on carburetors are overexagerated, sometimes up to 30% on some of the old Rochester carbs. This leads me to my conclusion that the 1.14 venturi MC2100 is the optimal carb for a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l , with the 1.08 being a close second.

science, b****es

 

[elwood blues]

What happened, I just blacked out

 

[JR74CJ5]

:laugh:

 

[elwood blues]

Yes, but did I answer your questions?

 

[JR74CJ5]

Very well thank you (for me anyways)

((AMC 304 x 5000) / 3456)*.80= 351.851851851 CFM for me... So I should be using a 1.21 or 1.23

Correct? Thanks Teach...

But I am not the OP so let hear what he's got to say too...

Thanks again Elwood...

yeah man you did some good work, thanks haha
