IN finally got a carb running good on my project 83

Now I can move on to other fun things Yes its an 83. Has a dash and cluster out of a 85

This will get it good enough to be able to get me to get into the project deeper. Fix the rust issues on the chassis. Finish up the interior and then I'll go fuel injected 12A. (Which I'll gather parts for soon - might trade a weber DCOE45 for them then)

Carb was from an 85. Has a solenoid on the passenger side of the carb. What is that the richer solenoid? It wont run worth a crap until I jump 12V to it.

Ah, so you didn't throw the Weber across the floor?
I ordered mine the other night. Wish me luck!

Yeah I didn't throw the weber but I did rebuild another stock Nikki... I need something going quickly on this car. This one runs like it is for now. I have to get this car somewhat 80% completed. I got WAY WAY too many parts laying around... Parts are never a bad thing, but I'm really out of space. I have attic space but when you store the stuff away its hard to get ahold of it right away.

After I get this done and some other projects that are waiting around. I'll toy putting EFI on there. I'll probably trade the weber along the way while sourcing the EFI parts. I don't know what I did with the 13BT stuff I got this summer...

I was thinking of adapting a 13b s4 NA on there but I found a good deal on a compete 13b with trans in a car less than 80k. Good compression for CHEEAAAPPP!
