I'm almost done on converting my 1.7 4 cyl to the 2.0 6 cyl. Its not a show car, just looking to make a week end warrior. But I'm having trouble with buttoning up the last few lose ends. One is the wiring to the alt. Who ever owned my car before me cut almost everything. So I have the wires coming out of the alt with no where to go, and I'm not sure either ANY IDEAS?? Attached Image
Also, I stared up the car and the carbs started flooding, after taking them apart I found the foats had sunk. I ordered new ones from Pelican, But did someone make the old ones or are they supposed to look like this?Attached Image

It looks like someone hit them with a hammer. Good thing you ordered new replacements. Did you get a float gauge to go with it?

Of course I forgot that. I'm going to just wing it. I measured one that was working to see what level it was at. I should be ok
