The test mule getting a new power source :)

Finned alternator cover. Nice.
I am not familiar with 1200 at all but what happens to ignition?
Just transplant C5 in there?

 

[Steve83]

The '84 1200 used rear pulsers like the 1100, but without any advance mechanisms - it was electronically controlled. '85 and later used pickup coils on the front crank and electronic ignition. The 1100 C5 should work on the '84 1200, Dan's about to make history!

 

[skiri251]

Thanks for the explanation.

 

[dan filipi]

1100 is out of the frame.

Now pulling the good water pump and C5.

 

[Steve83]

Cool! You're having way too much fun!

I'm not sure if this was mentioned, but are you changing the belts in the 1200?

Not until I run it through a few heat cycles to make sure everything inside is good, gears etc.

Good water pump from 1100 installed.
Front cover installed.
Stat housing installed.

 

[Ansimp]

I can almost hear it running :good:

 

[joedrum]

wow going strong

 

[skiri251]

What about external alternator?
Is 1200 stock one good?

 

[slabghost]

My 1200's have internal alternators.

 

[dan filipi]

I'm not putting the external on. At least not at first.

The test mule lives once again!

This 1984 1200 bolted right in to all the 1100 mounts with the exception of the exhaust.
The rear 1100 hanger brackets line up with the center of the frame.
I have them removed for now. Will be modifying them.

Lot's to do yet.

Hook up regulator.
Mod muffler brackets.
Have a C5 drive stud made. This one aint gonna cut it.
Etc.
