CAN ANYONE ADVISE ME AS TO HOW TO POST A PICTURE?????

I tried every trick I know — in the mean time, anyone interested in seeing the progress on Emma”s  new Weber Carb can check out the latest picture in my media tab under Happy Jack….

I got my center mount Weber carb and manifold today and it looks pretty good.  With Roy’s help, I  dismantled it and put the various parts in the dunk tank of carb cleaner and let the parts soak while I removed the Bugspray Carb and manifold from the car.  In the process I found that the intake manifold nuts had loosened up on the driver’s sid…[Read more]

I think I saw a Bug Eye or 2 in that pack of cars along with a Ghia and a Porsche or 2 !!  But nothing that can compare to BILLINPARTS and his TDr!!

Hey Ed,

The issue with the throttle cable has to do with the route the cable has to take to reach the BugSpray Carb.  We had to chop down the intake manifold to get it to fit under the engine cover on the BCW — which forced us to re-route the throttle cable into the left side of the engine compartment and then take a sharp bend to reach the…[Read more]

Great observations — and good idea John about starting a new thread —

I guess I’ll switch to synthetic oil AFTER I check out my engine cooling system….  Thanks John for the citations and references and Kentt, great observation on how we TDr’s (and the companies who made the kits) tend to not pay attention to proper engine tim and engine…[Read more]

Hi  David,

It was great meeting you at Carlisle and I hope the trip back up North after our Rainy Carlisle Outing was uneventful and fun!!

I have not had experience with the CB Performance 34PICT replacement but everything I hear about CB Performance is good.  I was asking John at AIRCOOLED.NET  about getting a Redline Weber Carb kit and he st…[Read more]

Hey Kentt —

I appreciate your 2 cents — I’ll check out the spring, the vanes and the thermostat — and take your advice about leaving that system intact….

As to the center mount, the intake manifold that is included with the Weber has provisions for the heat risers — but apparently they were misplaced some years before and were not in…[Read more]

Good point Allen — I do have a doghouse cooler on this engine — so the engine temp should be more stable and even.  I also have a #3 cylinder temperature monitor so I can tell how hot #3 is and then extrapolate from that how the whole engine is doing heat wise.  That monitoring setup is leftover from when I had the 2332cc engine in the car, bu…[Read more]

Hey Eddy &  John,

I know what you mean about wishing you did not have a temp gauge installed — ignorance is bliss — for a while at least….and I don’t even live in the “hot” part of the country like you folks in Las Vegas and beyond (although is is 97 in the shade here today in Coastal North Carolina).

I’ve read a lot (mostly warnings)…[Read more]
