Re: Project 2.

Yes it's only a matter of jets and power valves and a few other minor fiddles. I like the feel of it already though.

Re: Project 2.

I'm not sure Clay. I ended up with 4 of them. The one I put some effort into and used had a manual choke. Definitely your manifold though. Having troubles now with the 350 being too lean on the road. Consulting Harv.

Re: Project 2.

Tripples are sold and heading to an LC XU1 in Sydney I believe. Still have the LJ XU1 manifold and CD175s but they need a lot of work. The WW has proven to be a great carburetor and with very little tinkering has worked very well. Now it's Holley's turn. First try out of the box and motor was awash ...

Re: Tow bar for EK sedan please

I had a FB plenum grill posted to me once. Towbar is shorter than that. Also had FB rear quarter and front guard trims come in the post. Maybe it depends on the post office. Good luck with it anyway.

Re: Clay’s Wedgewood Blue FB Ute

Yes, I have also found that you have to put the headers on first and then attach the pipes to ensure the headers to sit properly against the head.

Re: Project 2.

Yes Vintage Air has a thermostat controller. The other one looks just to be on/ off so may be a better bet. I suspect you can run the VA unit without the fancy stuff as an on/off but probably better buying the cheaper one if you go that way. Either way there are a few options out there on the web fo...

Re: Project 2.

Great, thanks for that info Harv. I was thinking last night that I might silver solder a made up original diameter fuel line onto the supplied fitting as it slides neatly inside - just need to adjust the bends a bit. I'm keen to crank it up and test today and I've got new fuel pipe left over from th...

Re: Project 2.

Thanks Harv. Will that banjo fitting just seal up against the carb body ( and not use the flared fitting inside)? I was wondering about the fuel line size, but figured it all flows through the needle and seat so probably not a problem with the original line size. Hopefuly it's not sooo thirsty that ...

Re: Project 2.

Any advice on fuel line connection to 350? It came with a bigger flared straight tube that heads straight to the cylinder head. I need a 45degree bend and smaller diameter tubing to match up with original fuel line. Other than that I think it's sorted.

Re: Project 2.

The CD150s are pretty thirsty I take it. Webers would be more so. I’m interested to see how the 350 goes. FB ute fixer upper, EK van on rotisserie I don't think the economy is bad. EGR is about 12.5% at idle and around 13% on the run. It's not my area of expertise but I think that's about right. Th...
