I have a ported manifold with a two year old 32/36 on it you'll need to up the jets as I was tuning by exhaust and went pretty small before I realised a compression test was in order... I can reccomend what jet sizes you'll need I just don't own any anymore after doing a turbo set up on a mates gemini for him.

Oh yeah

I haven't given much thought to tuning yet. The carby I have is already on a l-series manifold so maybe it will have the correct jets already.

Agh I thought you were looking for a 32/36 sorry. Pull the jets out in the mains you'll want 155/160 and 55/60 idle jets 175 air correctors from memory, if they're close to these numbers you'll be alright.

No worries, thanks for the info.

Got the trim back on.

Mate, how good does that look , well done, now get out and enjoy it.

Go the mighty Stanza's.

It's certainly coming together there chunky

Do it in a Datsun!

The lens i was after.


Roadworthy test is booked for monday.

Roadworthy, registered and insured.

After driving around for a while she didn't really want to idle and was stalling between downshifts. So I decided the only logical thing to do was 'heel and toe' my way up to point glorious and then take the long way home from there.

The maiden voyage:









When I got home I turned up the idle speed a bit and she now seems a lot less stally. I think it will run better when I get the webber on there.

I have heard of a trick where you rev the engine and then block the intake with a handfull of rag and this sucks all the crap out of the carb. I am thinking this might be a good temporary fix untill I get the weber on there as I don't want to put any time/money into this carby when I am just going to change it in a couple weeks. Is this advisable?

Cheers. I will update when I get more money and therefore more stuff done.

Congrats on the road worthy and registered mate.

So I am in the process of putting the weber on now. I shall update soon with the results.



I will give it a good tidy up once I make sure it all works properly.

Also I have a set of rear shocks on order, I'll soon have new Monroes and new Nankangs all round.

Cheers.

The weber is up and running. It still needs a tune up but is a big improvement so far. It sounds awesome to, worth it just for that.

Did a compression test today and got 128, 120, 122 and 118.

It's a bit low but at least all the cylinders are fairly similar. I added some Nulon worn engine treatment to the oil, dunno if it makes any difference.



Cheers

If it doesn't already - get yourself an electronic ignition off a bluebird - and replace all the metal connectors that feed power into the dizzy / coil / ignition system.

You will be blown away by the difference it makes!
