The dizzy we chose was one which suits this type of coil (from an LC Astra) and the wrecker we were at let us compare coils and they were the same type (same brand and model in fact).

that dizzy goes straight in (once you fit the gear on the shaft from the points dizzy).

No they aren't my nails they are my girlfriend's nails, it's her car she works on it herself and I help out when I'm needed.

P.S I love mechanics gloves hands stay clean and more importantly, uninjured.

Hi guys,

we are currently in the process of installing a Weber 32/36 on an A12 and I'm just going through the process. The carby is mounted and the throttle linkage is done. Looking at it closer though and comparing it to the pics I see of everyone else's, We have 3 different fittings for the fuel supply.

Since I don't particularly specialise in carbies, I can't work out why we have three and most people have one. Can anyone tell me what is what?




So in order:

(1) Some people have this on an angle similar to 2 (is this fuel?)
(2) Some people run their fuel line into this (is this fuel?)
(3) This looks like some sort of air line but I'm not sure if it has vacuum in it (or much)
(4) is this good for the vac advance to the dizzy?

Do I use one and block the other off?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks guys

E16 dizzy running on A12

Yes it is, the pic with the butt welds shows the talent going into this. Well done!

Why don't I see more people putting this effort into A series turbo manifolds?

What sort of prices do they charge for something like a pair of seats in non-leather?

I'm looking at getting some done soon as well.

So the Stinger is tuned for a 1000 and has all the sensors and plugs to suit injectors etc? Does it run well?

We are very interested in this if you are willing to ship the lot.

Hmmm very intersting.

The dizzy "modified for turbo" meaning what - has the timing map for it been changed?

Also, is there a fuel pump and surge tank I see there?

I'd would like to see more pics please, PM me if you could, I'm very interested.

You can't just build one? I built one and it took me about 2 days for my car. Not a datto tho.

Sorry guys. My bad.

Hi guys,

I've been having an extremely hard time tuning the carb on my girlfriend's B310. Long story short we've changed the ignition system and now the carb needs a tune. Her neighbour is a retired carb tuner who came around and tuned it up about 2 months ago. I'd like to tune the car myself so I don't have to keep asking him to do it. I watched him tune it and he did it in 5 mins!

I've spent over 3 hours trying to tune the damn thing and I just can't get it right.

Can someone please detail to me how I can tune the carby from scratch? The float level and timing are set and everything else seems to be in order. The wiki wasn't very helpful here.

Thanks
