Carbs installed

Carbs installed and connected up to AN hoses, had quite a job getting the correct fitting for IDF as a number of variations in production, and still required machining to fit but does make removal a doddle. 


Also installed heat isolating plates and the correct gaskets between manifold and carb. 


All hooked up to a Holley T pressure junction and gauge so the required 3.5psi can be accurately dialed in.






New Venturi 34mm down from 36mm

After a long absence of car work, got distracted by new motorbike, now back at it and engine back in car + some carb refurbishment and improvement. 



New Venturi purchased from eurocarb_ltd, installed and finished off with locating detent. 


As installed, a small job but worth it.

New gaskets and pump diaphragm as modern fuels aren't kind!
