Congrats Jim!

Carb lines do that too:

tvs is often referred to as tps.

Not sure on afm sticking.  It would certainly  reduce air flow if the flap stuck.

That's what we're trying to figure out.  It happens every few weeks and is fixed by kicking the pedal a few times.

Only TVS is connected to the pedal.... look there

Life and rediscovering synths... yes I was deeper into them than datsuns.

369 Needle is an SM needle.   Just tuned a 71  with these rich bastards.

369 is Beck-Arnley's Part No.

556 for sale again... up from the $1,800 above.

I respectfully disagree. That needle/nozzle alignment method will not work on the odd bird 72 3-screw round tops.

 

You kids and your late model modern cars!

Don't use it on a fire! lol

240260280, is your jet alignment tool primarily for the 4 screw dome carbs, or for either the 3 screw of 4 screw?  I can see how it would adjust the nozzle in the 4 screw carb to sit in the appropriate position.  I am trying to understand how it would benefit for the 3 screw, as you would have to take the dome and piston out to put the needle in, which would undo your adjustments.

It is for aligning the nozzle sleeve (that holds the jet) to the centre of the piston. If you disassemble the bottom of the carb, you will find the nozzle sleeve has freedom to be repositioned within the nozzle sleeve set screw:

This is all really good stuff.  Hopefully, we'll end up with an inventory of, 'Why didn't I think of that?' items that will save others a lot of time, grief and/or money.  They might even inspire some new ideas.  Pictures help, if you've got them. 

I think @zKars can fill 10 pages!

70F here 😉

So, rightfully, your next restoration project should be a Morgan.

He should start easy with Porsche floor boards. No pedal to the metal there.

Chris, if your axes go missing tonight I know two suspects 🙂

Oh, I know but it just seems sort of silly when we already know what the car is pretty much gonna look like

I think they want to hide the 370z-ness 😞

It's "Slosh".  When the car accelerates, the fuel sloshes to the back side of the bowl, when the car decelerates, the fuel sloshes to the front. This causes the float to change its height slightly. The acceleration also affects the float.

If acceleration of water places more at the back wall of the bowl, the water pressure will push the float towards the front of the bowl (put a rubber duck in a bucket of water then spin it on a turntable. The Duck will be forced towards the centre|).

It is a very complex physics problem and the key is that it affects both carbs in the opposite way due to hinge location asymmetry.
