lol...if he's like the typical 1stgen'r, he's not rolling in the $$$ like yourself, C...that Weber is a great idea but he'd need $450 just to get in the game and that's not counting the fuel pump and regulator he'd have to buy to feed the beast...

stock 6port 13b w/ 100k miles -- $300
used 6-port to holley manifold-- $100
used Holley 650 doulbe pumper from a small block chevy powered austin healey-- Free
the most efficient way to turn lots of gas into lots of noise, and an occasional fire ball- -- priceless
oh- and i have this strange adapter left over to put any 12a manifold on a 13b 6port if anyone needs it for some very strange combinations

Fantastic! What kind of mods did you ask for or did you go with the basic stock rebuild? If you get the airflow increase mods, make sure your exhaust is up to the task...
Yaw, the only one I know who did dyno work on various 12As and published them, had a ceiling of about 150 HP vs. the stock 100 HP at the flywheel when using a modded Nikki and good exhaust but with the 12A block itself only having stockports...the big gains are when you run a Sterling carb with a streetport and good exhaust...THAT I'd like to get on a dyno to see what kind of numbers it'd kick out...

I went all out and am getting the top end mod. I am keeping the choke and the A.C. thing. Other than that, all emmisions must go, all for $320. I just finnished pulling off the rats nest/air pump, picked up a racing beat exhaust that I'm gonna slap on soon, and since the car ain't running now anyway, I'm switching to an electric fan.

Engine is still stock, no $$$'s for porting yet. According to Sterling, a new poump and regulator is a must, so I'll be getting them this week. Still running stock ignitioon, any suggestions?

Well, if he's still stock, then I'd say just replace the plugs and get some fat ignition wires like Accel's 300+ series and a good distributor rotor and cap, like Bosch. That should do the trick w/o getting needlessly complicated for 3 or 4 HP....if he ever streetports it or if he gets juice, then I'd say definitely step up to the DLIDFIS plate...

It's a good reason for emissions and mileage concerns, but with a stockport, you won't feel a difference that justifies introducing more things that can go wrong....not to be mean or anything, but is the sad face next to a car that has been direct-fired?

We only have an 1/8th mile close to here...when the weather gets good, the '83 and the 84 are going to see some track time to get an idea of how they run flat-out stock and then with a little juice on the '83...then it'll be electric fan conversion time for the '83...dyno runs are scheduled for the '83 prior to track day and then after the fan conversion to see wht kind of gains are really seen at the rear wheels...these are all stockport 12As, however, not 13Bs....
