I have been trying to drive my car comfortably but I am running across issues. Mainly after the car warms up it starts acting weird.
Coming to a stop and revs dropping. it just dies. Then I have to wait a minute or two to get started again. Then it runs a little rough, pops, backfires. Just did the valves, points, timing but runs like crap when hot. The engine is a 1.7 block with 1.7 heads and dual 40s. I don;t know if there was any work done internally but the block is a 71 and car is a 70. It has been suggested that I am way overcarbed and running rich. i have no plans of building out this motor to match the carburation. Am I better off selling off this dual weber set and putting on a single Weber 32/36? I have my eye on this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/310953732343?ssPag...984.m1423.l2649 I am thinking the weber and hex setup should be worth around $450? What say you? |

if you have those head tubes…one line from the pvc, center one on the box, and the sides to the tubes. the little filter on the box is not needed. there are usually little venting stand-offs on the lid and a piece of foam on the inside to help contain/control the vapors. oil builds up on the foam and becomes a part of regular maintenance. the plugged line is just going to fill up over time.
