tues..uh no..wednesday
yeah ya I’m lazy. fucking freezing garage, don’t think I’m eating enough.
started out with changing the jet between the 1e carb and the 4ef carb, main choke was 141 (up from 138) and the other one 103(from 102). not the small choke looks alot smaller on the right lower one? thats the 4ef carb.
Have loads of holes to fill, waaay to many vacuum tubes on a std 4ef.
Had what looked like an air temp sensor sticking out in the air stream. not any more.
Think I’ll put some chemical metal down there to block that hole and improve the flow.
carb on manifold hot action! gah this stupid carb is going in the bin, i’ll fit a 1.75″ SU. note the big shiny screw? that was where the start choke was. i never use it on the 1e and it’s just restricking up the tiny carb.
Been sitting there for over 2 years now..
Note where the top rad hose goes in here? see that casting that has no aperant purpose?
theres a big hole in the 4ef one, for a water temp sensor. it gets in the way of the vacuum advanced distributer.
I think that was the aircon pump. or the power steering pump. fecking heavy what ever it is.
So yeah not much done again, so cold out there. next week i think I’ll cover the cbr in plastic to protect my completely shagged hands. or not. meh. After Christmas gonna put the car on blocks for three days and put in the damn 4ef engine, it’s been over 2 years I’ve gone through loads of sodding garda checkpoints, there not interested in the fact i have no nct. whatever car i get/make next I won’t have that nct problem and cheap tax. Perhaps a post apoc car might draw a bit more attention (that turrent gun is not really very functional, officer) but hey, maybe if i pretend I’m a religious nut (church of post-apoc and survival anyone?) they’ll back off. yeah thrust pamphlets in there faces through the 3/4″ thick plate steel Armour/windows, or maybe pretends it’s an art car? (fakes blood and guts there are sir to be sure!)
So now again, not a morris minor i think, something with a seperate frame (non unibody) and has to be 30 years old to get cheap tax and nct exempt. if the apoc does come those last two things won’t matter. hope it comes quick then.
What The Hell to get?
