Carburetor replacement & rebuild


View of the old engine bay 2 years ago





This carburetor was  for a manual car it doesn't have the extra dashpot needed on an automatic car.
I managed to locate one but it will need rebuilding.


Cleaned and stripped with new parts added and on bench adjustments all done.


Getting all the pipes in the right position takes a bit of time to get right.



This looks all right now.


When all the wiring and fuel lines are completed I'll get the engine running and finish off the carburetor adjustments.
