Hi cheers

My mate just had a look, he adjusted the throttle cable and got it idling fine Carb is full of crap so its going to need a good clean up though. he also said about the flame trap, need to get a pipe to the air filter for it...

never ending!

Hi, just bolted a holley 390/offy 360 onto my 3.5 rangie. All the cables, hoses etc are sorted out and it runs the engine ok without cutting out. I can't seem to get it idling below about 1500 revs though. It drops to sensible revs (500ish) when not in park or neutral though? I've tried playing with...

Just for the record- I think this is what the kickdown bracket looks like!



Just bought a holley 390/offenhauser though- sorry about that fellas!

Take 3, da daaa...




Cheers guys

Hiya...



It has 8.3.73 stamped on the top of the manifold

Dated '73 so must be from a P6...

Hi cheers Harvey

Just looked in my haynes and I think I might have bought carbs with some sort of auto linkage by chance! Sort of X shaped with 2 rods overlapping each other from opposite corners?

I think its from an SD1

Just have to see what turns up in the post!

What is it... I see decent looking SU's going for 25-40, I bid over the usual price and then I still get outbid at 60! Do my bids smell or something? Hi harvey... any ideas where I could get a bracket? I've checked rimmers but they don't list any on their site. not really up on SD1's to be honest. *...

Ah, don't worry about it... I'm guessing its one of those things that becomes clear once you have everything there. Just need to grab a pair of carbs of ebay and a regulator to get the pressure down to 5/6psi isn't it?

thanks

Ahh I'm beginning to see what you did there... you haven't got a few more pics on your computer have you?

This is a proper result to find someone else who's done exactly the same thing I want to do, cheers!

Nice work, cheers for that.

I'll have to have a look at mine to work out what exactly is going on there!

Hi, I'm hoping to convert my '87 rangie from its flapper efi to carb/s. Trouble is, its an automatic and none of the SU carbs I see for sale seem to have to kickdown linkage I see in the haynes manual Is there a simple way to knock something up for this or can you still get the linkages new from som...

Ticking gone!

Thanks for the advice people, much appreciated

Hiya, the works being done now so I don't have time to mail order- its a case of anything I can get my hands on now!
