Hi Terry & others
It turned out it was too big ie. adapter plate + carb + air filter would be
too hight to fit under the bonnet so I am hoping to get a 32/36 DGAV
from a cortina ($50 not quite as good as yesterdays bargain but I sold
the other weber to some guy for his bommodore so nothing lost )
tomorow, prolly be more suitable and will fit from what you have said.
Might try what George said to remove the water choke or else should not
be too much of a problem to hook up anyway. I thought i could use the
return from the heated manifold, would that be ok do you think?
regards
Chris
