Ron, I thought I saw 51mm chokes available for the 48IDAs? I took your comments about flow to heart when I went for the Webers on my 302 and was surprised to have to jet down. Now I realize what you mean is flow up top but I tell you, the Webers' response and performance has been incredible...

Thanks Neal. I had found the Ford letters for the bonnet as per the original street trimmed cars and replaced the oval that I had glued on. Now I wanted to put a pair of small ovals on the fender sides by the latches. funny how it looks slightly off center because of the angle of the...

Does anyone have a source for a 2" or smaller Ford Oval emblem? They must be available from Ford but the ones I see are all 4" or larger. Thanks

I just left the lining as is as it absorbs the rattling that may occur during "spirited driving".

Thanks, Ron. After wasting 3 orders from different sources, finally lucked out at Pegasus. http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productselection.asp?Product=3641 Ray

Then, when I realized the screen mesh was an exact copy of the originals, I decided to do the scoops too. The originals were steel and attached with tabs wrapped around a small diameter tube brazed onto the perimeter of the screen. they were sent out for chrome plating then the tabs were screwed...

I don't know if there was a screen on the original but I thought this was a practical and nice mod to the single nostril fan enclosure on my CAV. I know the double nostril model had them. Does it look OK?

The Goodyear Eagle white letter tyres are reasonably good and cheap in 15s.

I have put a spare coil, 4 plugs, 2 cans of Aerosol tyre repair, 4 roadside flares, 6 Advils(pain), 4 Benadryls(allergy), a dozen wetnaps, bandaids, a tube of Nepsorin, 2 pair of latex gloves and my rollup toolkit with lead hammer, wire, pliers, screwdriver(philips and slotted), #10 combo...

Mike, thanks so much for the offer and also the excellent link. I'll read up on that. Right now, after I reset the timing and disconnected the vacuum from the dizzy, the Webers are singing! Man, it's sweet. I took a ride down to Bill Andrews HRE Motors in Freeport and not a single stumble...

Well, so far, it's singing the Weber song. Awesome, seamless power; so I'm not touching anything...until next week. I had some residual water that contaminated the oil during the manifold swap, and I am running some 10W40 flush in there before I switch back to synthetic 15W50. At that time...

Tim, they're 48IDAs from Topend in Cali. Mmmm. I may be a few sleepless nights away from a jet reaming tool just yet...{LOL}.

Jac Mac, you 'da man! I used one of my rare Lacoste golf tees to plug the vacuum and retimed the dizzy to 34max @3500. This also yielded 14@idle. I also backed out the mixture screws to a full turn. Started up fine. Took a test drive, SMOOTH AS SILK on a steady rising throttle all the way to...

I re-timed the dizzy as jac mac suggested, 34 max at 3500 WITHOUT vacuum. Idle is 14 deg. but she seems to start up fine. Test drove WITHOUT vacuum and...Pops and Misfiring went away!!! Oh, and I also let out on the mixture screw to 1 full turn on all cyl. A little hesitation and stumble when...

Jac, I retimed the ignition yesterday with MY timing light (I had been fiddling with a friend's at the shop). I checked it with the vac. connected. it was too much so I backed off and now getting 34 deg. at 3500. Idle is at 12-14. Misfiring and popping is still there. I fiddled with the...

Hi David, The idle jets were 70s. In reading the book, I saw that the baseline jets are supposed to be 55s. Also, they said that if I didn't get at least a turn out on the mixture screws to get best idle, they're too rich. I had taken a drive out to the Hamptons and the rear end was black...

Good advice...I'll do that today. At $24 each, those emulsion tubes are a bit stiff to experiment with. Thanks.

They will fit fine... Cliff, Ian set me up with my Webers on a crate 302 with a turkey pan and anti-reversionary plate and all. The plate hit the glass so I'm running mine without it. The photo below shows the stacks under the glass with Inglese's filter screen slip-on rings. BTW, Ian, I got a...

Tuning time... OK maybe all you experts can help me before I run a big stack of bills for parts. First thing I did was set the fuel pump pressure to a tick over 3 psi. I've synched the carbs decently in that the meter shows an even 4.5 - 5 equally on the 4 inner barrels at around 800 RPM. I...
