Well I haven't shared in awhile so here goes and be kind.
First thing was to ditch my progressive carb and install a pair of rebuilt Dells complete with cross-bas setup from CD Performance. Motor already has a carb friendly cam, so I am hoping this will wake things up a bit (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Attached image(s)

Next up was to clean up and repair the engine bay. Hell hole was not too bad, but the pax side engine shelf was toast and the battery tray non-existant.
So I got my first taste of metal working and welding. What a blast. New pieces from Restoration Design worked great. Then of course sprayed the engine bay with my new paint gun. I still have some touch up to do and it is far from perfect, but I am pleased with it being my first time and all. Hopefully, it all goes back together this coming weekend. Attached image(s)

Looks nice!
Hopefully that is not a type 1 009 dizzy. If it is, toss it in the ocean and get a Mallory or a stock FI dizzy. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/popcorn[1].gif) |

You can also get an 050. I think Zim's still has some of them. You gonna make talaina, or do I have to weld jackstands to your car? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

Hey Clay, didn't we change the date just for him? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) Just pulling your leg JR. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) That engine bay is too purdy to not show it off! Hope you can make it. BTW, I will be bringing two turbo syncros with me if you want to tweak your carbs a bit... |
