Well I have found a new toy for the summer time and would like to share with all of you on the forum.

Un-cracked dash low KMS



Now I have a Quick Question has anyone seen this carb setup before?

 

Looks like some sort of dual side draft Weber setup maybe? I'm not familiar with that particular intake manifold though. I know that Rotary Engineering had a dual Weber 36 DCD setup, but I think it sits up higher on the side of the engine since they are down draft carbs? I could be all wet here, but just some ideas to help you start researching.

Lake city manifold with sku's perhaps! Also i can tell yah those rims are from a "puma" vw kit car made in brazil i had a 72 with those exact rims!!!

that is definitely 80's!!! I think you got that from a police auction, and Don Johnson busted the owner in Miami Vice.

Ah, "the way we where".........................LOL

 

LOL

Yes I sure do Miss the 80's

 

Great find! Please post more "better" pics when you can. Congratulations!

 

that car is sexy

 

Well, I got the Sa to my garage and started taking the 4 port 13B engine apart, I have found a nest of some sort inside the rear housing. It took me a few hours carefuly removing it, now the motor turns by hand and makes compression no numbers yet as I am going to start it today.


But here are a few more pics

 

nice car. horrible carb setup...right over the exhaust. nothing like suckin in hot air, lol. good find though.

 

make a heat shield for the header. nice car. what wheels are those? 4x110?

 

what are the carbs? i had a friend years ago with dual dell'ortos set up like that and it was incredible.

There is a Heat shield thats located right under the manifold, also I was thinking of making an intake box that leads to the front air dam..

The carbs are Webber's I have been trying to find out about this setup for some time now.

 

It Runs.. Took me all of saturday to get her going, she smoked like a pig blowing all of the Aft and other junk out of the housings, I hit a few snafu's along the way..

I had 2 electrical fires as the person who wired the Voltmeter did a horrible job.

The accelerator cable ripped.

The Choke cables ripped.

The Coolant hoses started to shower me with green goodness.

And the clutch has fused so I will try to pop it into gear from a roll.. there is still hope

After all is said and done this motor seems strong, after starting it had no problem holding idle.. a little high around 1,100 RPM but I had no timing light and I know I have to change a few gaskets on the carbs, and re-tune.

The throttle response is amazing, much better then my Street port 12A with a 48 Webber.

I will post some more pics and videos.

The resurrection has began

 

JEALOUS ........ lol by the look of the cover id guess they are webbers,

As promised I shot a short video of the car running.. I will post more as things get underway..

Let me know what you guys think

-max

 

looks good

 

congrats thats a fine machine yah got there!

 

Time for an Update,

This weekend I got to take a drive..

When I got the car the Clutch has fused to the flywheel, and you could not go into gear at all. This eliminated to possibility to drive it to a hoist, so I used an old Russian Method that Lada mechanics used on cars that were parked long.

It was a simple procedure, smokey noisy but worked.

First I jacked up the rear of the car with the wheels off the ground
Started the car in 3rd gear while holding the clutch (wheels still spinning)
revved the engine to about 120Km/h (still on the clutch)
At this point I slammed on the Brakes while still Revving and holding the clutch
took a few tries but the clutch broke free

Now its noisy getting into gear but at least I can drive it to a shop where I can remedy the problem on a Hoist.

Now the healing begins.. Wiring.. ARG!!!

 

Sweet car, killer carbs.

Those are dual Weber DCOE sidedraft carbs with a manifold made by TWM Induction. Very very rare.

Not Dual Weber DCD progressive downdraft. Good luck with the car!

 

Nice score man! I think this car was on Ebay a while ago?

Good to see your local too, bring it out to some meets sometime

 

I also think I saw it on ebay! Unless it was the same wheels on the same year 7 with the same widebody kit and the same intake and the same color ect ect........................ NAH!!!!! It's gotta be the same one....... Did you get this car off of ebay???????

 

Looks really nice, where abouts in t. you at??? I need to get a 79 tuned wondering if you could give any suggestions

 

Time for another picture.. this time Widebody X 2

Working on a friends car and could not resist on taking a pic cause its not often you get to see 2 cars so similar but yet so different..

I apologize for the 13's in the front , rim needs fixing so they are temp I swear it!

 

Great! Are them Maria's Wide body?

 

I like your wide body kit better than the black 7's. It's flows a bit better!
