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) |

If you don't want to do FI, then find a set of dual carbs. You can dick around all day with that single carb and it will still run poorly. Going WOT will generally just produce much black smoke and no more power.
I found a set of used dual Weber carbs. They came on a 1.8L engine with SSHE all for $500. |

Yes a set of dual Weber carbs would be the more economical solution in the UK, but even a pair of carbs sell for £450 and then there's inlet manifolds, filters and linkage to purchase. Nothing like that is cheap over here. Before I do that I'm going to give the single progressive a chance as it's there and free. I actually picked up another one on eBay for £20 for parts.
