Still not completed the job i had outlined earlier-have been waiting for a flexible torque wrench to arrive so that i can ensure that the carbs are not overtorqued beyond 12 psi and that the torque is even on all four bolts failing which i have been warned that after a few starts-heating and cooling...

I have no Gaskets to seal the carb to the air cleaner.

Maybe the extra ones-with the rectangle cut out in the middle- are meant to go on top?It sounds logical. Please confirm.

Hi to Mark too!

Hi Tom, Mike, Bryan. Have decided against starting the car just yet- Am in the process of recleaning the fuel tank, changing entire fuel line from tank to carb as well as return line to a copper line, Fitting a fuel injection quality fuel filter assembly in between the tank and the fuel pumps. Also ...

Hi Tom, Am familiar with Fram filters-will check it out on the summit racing website tommorow. One question-It appears the bakelite packing between the carb and the manifold have been fitted correctly (Thin+Thick+Thin).However, i am left with a fourth piece for each carb-one with an oval cutout in t...

An Update: It is Diwali-the Indian festival of lights and also the Indian New Year.Had a three day weekend so took advantage of that to work on the car. Have fitted the carbs back on the car. It was relatively quite simple.The manifold was checked with a straight steel edge with a light behind it an...

As i understand all the above info, My car, S Nr 12171 probably had two electric fuel pumps. I presume these were fitted in series? Does anyone know what the fuel pressure should be?-I have a sneaking suspicion that fuel pressure in my car may be too much-if there is something as too much fuel press...

As promised, here are the images.I hope they work! Images of car and engine compartment, before removal of carbs, and pix of finished carbs e mailed to me by Mike Pierce.

Hi Tom, Thank you for the advise on how to load photographs on this site.Will try it out! And thank you Tom(Yang) for the advise that a fuel filter would go a long way in ensuring that these carbs remain in good shape. I spoke to a friend in Bombay today, who is another car nut like all of us- He sa...

Dear Tom,

By the way, i would post the pictures, but i still dont know how to-Have studied the instructions but am completely unclear about how to post on a public website first.

An update-the arbs are ready-Mike from Pierce Manifolds has e mailed me some photographs and i must say they look great!With a bit of luck i will have them in my hands in the next couple of weeks. He is very kindly arranging for an intake manifold gasket, which will enable me to take the manifold of...

An Update. I have heard back from Mike at Pierce manifolds: quote: We have finished reviewing your 40 DFI Weber carbs, in summary these carbs are in bad shape.... Bodies are warped and twisted Fuel banjo threads stripped Gear drives not in adjustment Pump passages plugged Two idle circuits non funct...

Many of you have asked me to post photographs of the car. After seeing the cars that have been restored by Zac, and some of the other beauties that some of you own i am afraid if you see the condition of the car you may stop advising me on how to restore and instead suggest i sell it. thats why i am...
