pm re extractors sent

should turn it into a mini cruise to Tommo's seeing as he's so far away. Would be good to see some other datto's.

yes that I can understand, got a mitsubishi GSR sigma in storage with 4wheel disc brakes, a 4g63b turbo on a factory 4 speed auto, electric everything & my other mate keeps telling me that with a little adjusting it'll all go into the 1200, just that it might be a tad overpowered.

So my Galant turbo 2000 running gear (the imported 4 door starion) should fundementaly bold into my datto ? Hmm i might have to change my plans......

It's a holley -

I originally posted because I wanted advice on all the mechanics that the ppl on the forum used.

Then I asked about who you would take a carby to to be rebuilt and if it was warranted to get a dyno whatever to suit the jets or something.

So basically I got a pm and Tommo for mech's choice and quite an interesting response on the carby question.

I do realise that it'll cost 300 or so for the carby rebuild, and seeing as it's a stock a12 there's not much prob's with jet sizing, but all I wanted to know was who you would send your carbies to for rebuild's. ie a list of ppl :)

this isnt a race or even street motor - just stock, and like Tommo said it's a simple thing.

Anyhow I'll be seeing Tommo when I can take the time off work, but in the meantime I'll let you know how it works out, and maybe someone else that can't travel to hastings for repairs can get some advice too :)

ok

That sounds like fun, I'll do the drive, it would be good to have a trusted opinion on it all.

(my best mates a dato nut, hence the weber, disk brake front end, and good knows what else he's given me and the dual brake booster set-up he got me to buy)

- although I must say I now realise what it was that I gave his son - a 200b white with blue gt type racing body stripes, factory aircon, auto, in not mint but near to it condition.

So I'll have to plan a way of visiting hastings - and not on the back of a flat bed :)

I know mate that it'll be a simple thing, but that I'll have to cash in 3 days annual leave to bring it down to you, (1 to bring it, two for you to fix it and late night home), it's still running, and in the process of elimination I'm buying the bits for the a14 I'll get you to build me.

On the Cortina Mk1 forum the have these recommended carby repairer's and the associated notes, have any of you used any of these repairers?

Is it recommended to take car and carby to them so it can be jettted using the dyno? Or not?

they also have a dyno

if you look in the header of the email you can work out the point of origin via whereis etc.

The last email scam I received was saying deceasaed estate etc in U.K. but the point of origin was east coast, south africa, which I emailed them asking about the weather there etc and all emails stopped.

A very good friend has given me this carby telling me it'll need to be rebuilt and possibly re-jetted. Its a 26/27 Holley, and he gave me a brand new adapter plate for it as well.

(He also told me my points we just about missing all together, so they're being replaced tomorrow)

Is it as easy as swapping over the cable linkage to it from my old one to attach the accelerator cable?

Who would you send it to, to have it totally rebuilt - I can easily put the gasket carby kit in it but I want new butterfly pins etc which is beyond me.

Thankyou in advance - and Ivan I'm still planning on traveling up to Bendigo this w/end for bits :)
