Obviously, none of you had the temerity to get one of these and spend so much time fixing, towing and pushing it that you could work on it blind folded:
I took it from stock and added a 1/4 race cam with a 40mm Weber downdraft carb on matching intake manifold from FAZA Racing (run by Al Consentino of Florida). The carb linkage that came with it didn't match so I had it and the stock one cut and welded together so it would work (front half of one and rear of other). Also had the FAZA headers and ran straight pipes out the back.
With over 30 additional HP I terrorized Triumphs, MGs and smaller Porsches out on Mulholland Dr. That Webber was the easiest carb to work on and swapping air and fuel jets took just a few minutes. Everything was tuned by ear. Those simpler days were the best.
All the best,
