RE: [T3] The engine is out of the car...


Well the first time I used one of teh prgressive kits for my fasty it wasn't
very good. I bout a cool adapter at a swap that replaces the air distribuor
on the FI system and utilizes the stock runners. it works okay BUT you get
some bad carb icing! also thew whole problem of a carb sticking up out in
teh back and all the noise and inside air polltion. not to mention you have
to make a new engine cover or hack your up. Also with the adpater i used i
had to add a spacerto rasie teh carb cause itdidn't clear teh front side of
teh engine access hole(the big hole you look througfh to see teh engine). I
wopuld get your stock carbs rebuilt, or possible get a dual weber kit like
teh 34 icts. But maybe with a custom manifold a single sidedraft carb would
be cool on a dual port type 3 motor.
How bout using a Weber DCOE? I've been thinking about that conversion but it
hasn't left from te confines of my own mind.
