Backstory on my build. Car was built to a 1911 over 20 years ago by a previous owner. Sat in a garage for 20 years before I purchased it and tore it apart. So I'm working with an already modified engine.
Previous owner had no complaints about driveability and really loved the thing. The car has dual Weber IDF 40's, and a 009 distributor. I'm getting closer to tuning and first start and wanted to get some things squared away. First, I've read that the 009 is not recommended for these. I'm looking for other options with the caveat that it's fairly inexpensive. My project funds were cut short when my wife and I found out we are having a kid. Second, if it was running acceptable before, should I just put the 009 back in? What are the tuning issues if I went this route? Third, if I get a vacuum advance distributor, where to I pull the vacuum from? And because (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/c1.staticflickr.com-19709-1481221479.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/c1.staticflickr.com-19709-1481221479.2.jpg) This photo sums up the entire project pretty well. Filthy, take it all apart and clean, reassemble with new rubber/seals/gaskets. |
