F100

Your falling into the trap of thinking that carbs are are easy. Easy is fitting the EFI system, turning the key and it starting and running fine for the rest of your natural.

It was a few quid - think it was about 17 grand to do in the end and he did a lot of the donkey work him self. Was sold to a chap in Scotland quite recently for 13 1/2 grand.
