Weber lift off

The most impressive thing however, is the tremedous increase in torque, flat spots seem to be eliminated and the torque increases quite a bit.

Rick, you are exactly on point. When I first got the engine running again, and the timing and idle re-set (by the way, I upped the intial timing to around 16 degrees and 40 all in which allowed me to decrease the idle mixture screws, thanks Phil) the engine now noticably torques the car when you hit the throttle. A totally different car, and I have observed just in the little time I've driven it for test runs, that the acceleration band is totallly different as you say. A lot of re-learning ahead, but FUN!!

Here's a picture I just took, after I installed the jet screens. When I bought the carbs, the screens had almost a chromate-type dull greenish finish on them, and I know they should have been plated with that old gold iridite (Gold cadmium) with the red and green hues in it, similar to linkage pieces. So I had them plated locally, and I think they look a lot better.

Rok,

Glad to see you made the jump to 8 throttle plates!

It looks fantastic!

I still have to get my title, then plates, and then I will report further on the DynaTek system.

But you have "real" webers

Thanks Eric.

Thanks to you also for helping me along on this build. Our cars are almost "twins". And they probably sound the same as well. Good looking set up you have and am looking forward to hearing how your tune comes out. Are you going to attempt it yourself or are you having someone locally give you hand with it?

I'd be curious to know (Rodknock too) where the demon is and how the fix was made. I know you said it was very slight, but that can drive you crazy and makes it hard to sleep when your head hits the pillow. At least it does for me, but I'm old.
