  • Patent number: 9328635
    Abstract: A method for installing a camshaft retrofitting kit into an internal combustion engine with a plurality of hemispherical combustion chambers in order to provide increased power. A variable camshaft timing (VCT) assembly and a plurality of displacement-on-demand (DOD) control solenoids are replaced with a VCT plug and a plurality of DOD plugs respectively. A performance camshaft is installed in place of a stock camshaft, and a performance camshaft drive assembly is installed in place of a stock camshaft drive assembly. A cam adapter may also be provided in order to extend the length and diameter of the performance camshaft. Additionally, a plurality of springs from a plurality of cam followers is replaced with a plurality of spacers.

  • Publication number: 20150144100
    Abstract: A carburetor to electronic fuel injection conversion distributor is used in conjunction with a compatible engine control unit and a compatible throttle body so that carbureted engines can be converted into electronic fuel injection engines. The conversion distributor includes a stator distributor housing, a rotor shaft assembly, and a top housing as the rotor shaft assembly is rotatably engaged with the stator distributor housing. The rotor shaft assembly can be rotated through a camshaft of an internal combustion engine while the stator distributor housing is secured within the engine bay. The top housing is adjacently attached to the stator distributor housing, where the top housing can be a distributor cap or a distributor cover depending on the ignition system.
