[T3] Trying to sort it out

[gBartels <GernotBartels@gmx.net>]

<x-flowed>Greetings all!
I am currently working on a 71 Fastback that has had many hands on it 
over the years and have come across a few questions for listmembers.
1. When setting the timing, the condenser bumps up against the aluminum 
fan housing before I reach the timing mark. Does this mean the 
distributor has been installed 180 off? I noticed someone posted advice 
regarding timing recently in which was suggested to measure the 
circumference of the timing ring, divide by 12, and mark this distance 
back from TDC.
2. I believe this car was originally fuel injected as I have a return 
line to the fuel tank. There's a T above the tranny where the line 
splits into the return. Is it ok to simply block of this return and run 
a single line to the fuel pump?
3. and... The carburetors are hosed and I can't find a rebuild kit for 
my Solex H 32/34 PDSI-3. I know the replacement options of Weber 
Progressive or 34 ICT but eventually would like to build up a bigger 
engine. Have any of you installed IDF's under the lid? Is this possible?

Thanks in advance for your help in these matters.
