In the mean time i was trying to sort out my carburation problems, the su's just couldnt keep up with the engines state of tune and i was flinging money left right and center at them for not much gain.
So the webers i have had sitting around have made their appearence, this as with everything on this car was frought with problems.
The period manifolds i had for them just would not fit, which was gutting to me, i loved the idea of having original period performance parts on the car, but there was just no way round, so i had to buy reproduction long track manifolds, the difference is clear to see
and finally i was able to clear the exhaust, all be it with a bit of purseuation from a sledge hammer.
Fitting the webers involved refitting some of the cooling system, which itself needed a revamp, so a long time humming and hawing led us to this experimental system to keep flow rate constant and the system under preasure, looks like a mass of twisting blue pipes, but trust me it works damn good.
So allong comes january and allong comes the weather
Not much work getting done under an inch or two of snow.
I jest. Good luck with the conversion, sounds good!
