I am still going down the lightweight/simple/throttle response road

This is the way to go.

Nice neoprene floats btw, there made to handle boost....just sayin...

Doooooo iiiiittttt!

8) Aye.

YEAH MAN, WHAT HE SAID.

Boost is not out of the question, although if i did go F I it would also be F I. Boosting a carb has too many compromises in my opinion.

I am still going down the lightweight/simple/throttle response road which is why i need to improve the jetting of the carbs. It starts and idles and goes well at full throttle currently, but overall driveability leaves a bit to be desired and i don't drive it as much as i could/should as a result.

I will probably make an adapter to my momo hub, maybe even an eccentric one. I measured the original steering wheel and was surprised to find the rim of the wheel is substantially off center compared to the hub.

My old Italvolanti Formel wheel is the same way. Turning the wheel makes an elliptical motion. Just part of the charm of the car now, but it was weird at first!!

I always love checking in on this thread

Emulsion tubes, idle jets, main jets.... I remember messing with those a few years back. They are easy to work on and you need the sync tool to dial them in. Once synced properly the throttle response is wicked. Nice neoprene floats btw, there made to handle boost....just sayin...

I was talking to csermonet47 on sunday and realized i really needed to spend some time tuning the carbs. But first...






I need to disassemble an inspect all the parts and passageways in the carbs.







I'll need to order a few gaskets, but so far everything is in fantastic shape.

Within 5 months, I'm going to own one of these. Late sc or mid 80s 911 carrera.

You've got a little over 3 weeks.

This whole thread pisses me off in such a good way

And I like Csermonet47. Though we only barely know each other on the internet, I feel like he'd be a cool friend IRL. Someone you can go to Vegas and make questionable decisions with, and then get tested together, and then high five when you both find out that you didn't get Herpes or that girl who's name you already forgot pregnant.

Not that I would condone such behavior, but I think you get it.

Holy Weber guts, Batman! Sweet photos.

I have the Weber tuning book by Braden, through Alfa circles. I'm cautious about taking them apart.

I will make it on my lathe. Effectively it will function like a wheel adapter with counter bored holes in the momo pattern to bolt it to the hub and the italvolanti pattern drilled and tapped into it.

Apparently the later italvolanti wheels are momo pattern.

Can you make a second one? ;D

[LJ851]

Ive been sitting on an Italvolanti wheel also, was told it would bolt up to my Momo hub... not true for me. How are you making an adapter? Maybe this will motivate me to finally install mine.

Nice wheel Lorin! Where you get it from?

Found it on pelican. I have been looking for a unique wheel i like in the 370mm range to replace my momo mod07 and there just aren't many good options. A friend turned me on to the italvolanti wheels and then this old wheel turned up for sale. Perfect timing.
