Hi - so I'm just preparing for my maiden voyage - the car must have been off the road for at least 10 years judging by the rust in the floor when I got it in June. I've changed the fan belt this morning, but there are a few thingsI saw that I think need tidying. Its got a mid mounted progressive weber (yes I know), and there looks to be a port on each side near where the headers meet the tin - should some pipes be connected to these please? Also in one photo showing the port on the passenger side there is a wire coming out of the tin with a female spade connector - you can see it in the photo. There is also a green with red trace wire coming out of the loom near the distributor which isn't connected to anything.
The car runs, but not well. Not sure how far I will get down the road! Thanks, Dylan Attached image(s)

In your first photo it looks like your accelerator cable is wrapped around some wiring, that will cause several problems.

Yes, it does look a bit of a mess I admit. The accelerator cable isn't actually touching anything though and is attached to a rather inadequate 32/36 central mounted weber carb. I've got it running ok now, but the throttle doesn't snap shut when you take your foot off the pedal. The spring at the carburettor is ok, but I'm struggling to see if there is any kind of return spring at the foot pedal. Theres some rods that go off somewhere - is there a spring down there too please?

No spring at the pedal for the accelerator, I think it is the brake pedal that has the spring. |
