Re: Anton's build
Got my intake manifold back from Rockwatt today.
See those holes in the manifold, at the bottom (just to the left of the thermostat in this pic) - are they vacuum? I'm just going to block them off, but I was wondering...
It's so cleeeeean!
The "knobly" one is fuel, the "smooth" one is vacuum advance/retard, the one with the bolt blocking it off is fuel return - is that right?
What the heck does that do?
I'm going to have to make a throttle abutment plate too. What's everyone else done in this regard? I think I'm going to have to chop the knobbly bit (technical term, that!) off the end of my throttle cable so I can screw it into the SU's throttle assembly. Not sure what I'm going to do for choke (I have a generic choke cable I've bought, gonna see about fernangling it into the equation!)
Once I get the thing running, I can see how bad the rear axle is (I'm 99% certain it's still doing the death wobble), although the MOT guys missed it last time so I may MOT it with the dodgy axle in (it's less than a mile to the MOT station) and then swap in a good axle later.
Finally on the home stretch, guys!

Re: Anton's build
Those holes are nothing important. Old threaded holes where some of the original carb gubbins bolted on.
Nobbly one is fuel in, blocked pipe is a breather, unblocked pipe is fuel overflow / return. The pointy one on the top is vac advance.

Re: Anton's build
Brilliant, thanks chaps!
Any idea what that doofa actually is? I really doubt I need one, since I've never had one installed anyway. Just curious, really!
I asked about the holes because I seem to remember having pipes there... But that could easily be my memory being messed up.
Just a quick one Jordi - should I be considering opening up the breather then Jordi? Or does everyone keep that one blocked off?

Re: Anton's build
Nice one, Darel!
There are 3 holes, the middle one looks like it could be a vac line for the idle up...
Or am I being paranoid?

Re: Anton's build
Pipe 18 on the diagram, on the picture of the doohicky it's the black pipe between the bracket bolt heads.
Any idea if that pipe is a vac line? I think I'm just going to wind a bolt into it anyway, just to be safe.

Re: Anton's build
That vac line plugs into the attached idle up not the manifold
