That picture of the engine on Kenny's Dyno takes me back, not sure how they got the engine to run without a distributor, though they are very good.

Exciting times.

Been to sunny Scotland today fitting the headers we made for Richards car and getting the motor running for the first time since rebuild ,everything went well just to make the silencers if required when the rear clip is fitted

I've got an original linkage system for mine, the bearing blocks and bearings are new the crank is original got it from John Wisher (IIRC) about 12 years ago.

The crank runs the length of the engine and requires custom crank arms on the webers to ensure each 'bank' of IDA's open and close at exactly the same rate.

Also a photo of my webers and minifold, my webers all face the same direction. links from webers to central crank is by adjustable rod ends (left and right threaded to allow adjustment.

I had to write a computer program to get the correct weber crank geometry......I have a pic of the webers crank and adjusters somewhere on this site cant find it at the mo......

Hi Andy,
I'm taking the liberty of contacting you about the original weber IDA throttle linkage, a post you published a long time ago.
Being the proud owner of a monocoque chassis and being busy at the moment on the carburetors' clue, do you possess some information and details about it, more specific dimensions, drawings, etc.?
Thanking you in advance, and wishing you a great weekend,
Best regards,
Jan.
