Wed, 02 July 2003 03:50 We've got the brake booster running from the balance tube so it will be more regular, and yes it works like normal this way. 1. Yes, the lean is normal, ours does it too. 2. Have you got a W55, W57, W58 gearbox, when we put ours in the stick hit the console in the same way, we had to cut and weld to fix that. 3. If these carbies have the choke heaters then they are the late model, they should work if someone hasn't played funny buggers with the jets like they did with ours. We've just put on a set of originals and will see if they work once the head gasket prob is fixed. Note, choke heaters - unpopular ones. 4. Cam cover breather hose goes to the air filter, cops don't like those retor fitted breather filters, so I would definately go for the air filter choice. The big hose from the manifold (balance tube) if it takes a u-turn goes to an electric/vacuum activated emission control valve that mounts on the cam cover right next to the carbies. We fixed our up to work. 5. Ours came out OK and we replaced it with a shiny new one. 6. 18rc machanical pumps should go in no prob, but take note that the part numbers are different. 7. Does the little hose fitting at the back of the back carbie go to the carbon filter, YES, it does. 8. We've got the brake booster running from the balance tube so it will be more regular, and yes it works like normal this way. 9. If you're going to start it with just the manifold then you'll want the idle speed up a little more than usual, the ignition timing set on twelve degrees btdc and you'll want some heavy duty earmuffs, I almost went deaf when we did this and I was standing at the front of the car. These things are really f**king loud. As for the exhaust, I wouldn't go over a 2 1/4" as you will probably end up losing bottom end power/torque on a 2 litre engine. are you using the gearbox that was originall in the car? If you are then this conversion should not make any difference to the stick position. Here's what I meant by the electric/vacuum activated emission control valve. [Report message to a moderator]
