Just a few pics of the redecorating going on in the engine bay of my coupe. Picked up the carbs a few weeks ago and figured i'd give it a go and see if i could handle it alone. So far so good. Also sprayed the valve cover while i was at it. I'm thinking about machining the raised lettering stripes and emblem... anyone have any experience with this?
question for those with triples... is it recommended to keep the vac adv. & retard? My manifold had a tap that i was using for the brake vac line so i rigged up a tee with an additional barb for the distributor advance but am not sure if its ok to pull them from the same tap or not (thinking not...). If it is, and i wanted to keep the vac. adv and retard, could i add the retard line to the same tap or would it have to be separated? I know thats probably a stupid question, but i'm new to the carb life so please forgive...
Also... anyone have a source for the foam/rubber firewall padding? mine is exceptionally cruddy...
