Well the actual problem is that i dont have a side draught intake manifold.
On the A14 engine theres that warming plate that bolts the intake to the exhaust.
That flange where the two meet causes the intake to not mount flush against the head.

The proper fix is to buy side draught intake, carbs, linkage...
or make a gasket/spacer...
or get rid of the flange.

why is there a gap now?
has it got something to do with the headers?
id be looking into fixing the actual cause of the problem instead of band aiding the issues.

I should have enough thread left. Although I cant see the gap, i dont think its more than 2 or 3 mm at most. A couple of sheets of gasket material and metal duct tape outght to fit just right.

Or i could shave some material off of the intake air warmer flange on the bottom. Hmm, I could cut and weld it at school with our big syncrowave tig machine :)

Happy to hear you found it! I hope making that spacer gasket works out. If you do it this way would you have thread left on the intake studs?

ok so it turns out i have a huge vacum leak along the bottom of the intake manifold.
I had a friend crank the car up and put my hand over the carb and there was no suction at all so i suppose that was the problem. That also explains the buildup of fuel in the carb.

ill fiddle with it later ths week, gotta go back to work :(.
Ill have to make a gasket to let the intake manifold sit farther away from the head.

idle soliniod wire
not connected on carby
no fuel supply in carby when

well i didnt touch the dizzy at all but ill check it.
I havent checked any thing but what i touched. intake,exhaust,carb.

Ill check the basics and see if any thing else has gone wrong.

No problem man and it is getting fuel and spark?

you didnt do anything else at all??
does it even sound like its gonna fire?
ive been known to pop the rotor button out of the dizzy and whack the dizzy back together without it. i hate that.

Ok cool, thanks , thats what i thought about the headers.
lol im just here alone right now with no one to bounce ideas off of haha.
Ill look over every thing else really good.

If any one has any other ideas, please dont hesitate.
