As far as the engine goes .. I am unsure of the cam .. it supposedly was rebuilt when they went to the single carb , no paper work available .. or anchor on the top but I have no info on that and the guy I got the car from had no idea .. are there was to tell with out cracking the case ??
I am a sponge for knowledge and know I am in the right spot for advice on this car .. Thanks to all of you who have chimed in .. Its all appreciated and I am the type to ask before I do and try to keep the urge down to do something just because it looks cool .. Thanks as always and again very glad I was directed here .. great place .. great people and great advice Steve (IMG:style_emoticons/default/newhere.gif) |

look down from the top of one of the barrels. under the pump jet (#16) you should see a number on the top edge of the 'choke' (#12 on the parts diagram). for stock 40s it's prob 28. in good working order the webers should provide a step up in performance over the single setup. look for a set of CB tall manifolds and a set of NEW head appropriate stock FI intake runner to head gaskets. figure out what style of fuel pump (rotary vs facet) is currently on your car.

I think you are safe removing the chokes...I have dual 40s on my 2.0l daily driver and they sputter a bit on cold mornings but are fine within a couple minutes of driving...
