    Jetronic - TPS repair

    WTB--The float in the brake reservoir

    I bet JB Weld would fix it. Or get the new top and swap the float parts if you want to keep the original appearance

    Mine was bashed up from a pothole. I had it straightened and welded but your idea looks great, wish I could have reinforced it like that.

    Ok, the long and winding engine compartment road has reached its destination for now. I'm on to fine tuning the engine as best I can before taking it to a dyno after I have more miles on it. Here are some pics: OCD carb details: Closer shot of the red fan to replace my busted up...
