Just keeping you guys updated on problem.

Didn't get to fit the a14 carby as the accelerator cable comes from the other side and i didn't have time to make up a bracket to make it work.

I did buy some fuel system and carby cleaner additive though and put that in my fuel tank when i filled up. It has definately helped the car accelerate and run a lot smoother but still has the cruising problem. I might just let the cleaner run it's course though and see if its still pulling back when cruising on the weekend. If it is i'm gonna get that spray stuff that you spray directly into the carby and float itself. Apparently this is more powerful and better than the fuel additive stuff.

Failing all this i'm gonna take the carby off and check the float. Was thinking this may be the issue cause seems to be worse just after i've opened the engine up a bit, not during. The final thing will be the changing the fuel pump. If it's not that then i'm just gonna give up and put up with it till i have my new engine put in, hopefully in about 6 months time.

Anyways hopefully the fuel system cleaner or carby cleaner will do the job.

Trav an exhaust manifold flange to exhaust pipe gasket will indeed lean out the car. Sounds like you have multiple problems going at once but replace the gasket.....should only cost $5 amd take 30 minutes tops.

Alright rallytwit i will give it a try this weekend. Was looking around for a new one last weekend, even tried jts, but even he didn't have one. Guess i'll just have to make up my own. Should have plenty of time due to the long weekend........GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!! Just kidding.....but not really!

Hey it seemed to be doing it a lot worse tonight when driving home and it was heaps colder than it has been. And now that i think about it, it was heaps colder a couple of weeks ago when i first noticed it. Would this point to anything in particular? I guess it contributes to the problem but doesn't really help me pin point what the problem is. Kinda frustrating really.
