Hello All, I have worked on carbs before but have never had to sync them, I have looked on here and have not found the sync ing carbs for dummies guide yet. I am at a loss on where to find info for the dell carbs to get started. The car does start and run as well as idles fair, really seems to just bottom out (lacks power) when i try to get it up to speed. Any and all help is very much appreciated, also i will be needing a temp sensor and a set of air filters for them, any good shop references ??? Thanks, Best Regards

Good spot Aaron. They should both have a vacuum nipple, unless someone inserted a brass plug at some point that we can't see. Either way both need to be capped otherwise synching/tuning will be an effort in futility.
This will be something that you'll look for later on (after everything is synched) but keep an eye out for the dreaded Dellorto drip. Not necessary for us to explain here, but the 45s are particularly susceptible to this condition. First things first is following the advice already posted though. Good luck! |

Good luck! are the air/fuel screws have spings on them? these seen loose, like they could vibrate loose, what you think?? keep the 45s or go with the webbers |
