Over that thought, I recently installed a Weber 32/36 too on my car (great upgrade by the way) and I don´t know how I can make the car idle better when cold, it idles around 100 to 200 rpm, then when it warms up it comes to normal 800 rpm.

I have been searching the function of the choke plate and it says that I have to press the pedal all the way once and then start the engine, since is an electric choke, the spring will heat up and bring the engine to operational rpms after a while.

But the thing I don´t understand is, do I have to floor the pedal once everytime I start the engine? or is it a one time thing to calibrate the electric choke?

I know guys, I really need the timing cover (besides timing, stuff like protecting the belt from debrys and water too). Is just that the cover itself (here, remember, my country 😛 ) is being sold way too expensive.

I saw it on ebay several times but I haven´t got the chance to buy it (mainly I have been buying engine spare parts and interior stuff that was missing), plus the shipping overseas.

Anyways, I do promise to buy it and use a timing light to set the timing right ( and then make a big mark on the distribuitor to never forget it ever), but meanwhile, just need some pointers to get close so the engine runs good and doesn´t destroy itself :unsure:

I forgot about the pics, but I made a new test, I moved the dizzy a little more to retard (like 1/8) and it feels good, I guess I can keep this setting and it will not harm the engine much (as long as I don´t push it much) and I hope it will hold until I get the cover some day…

Some day… 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁

Guys, just a little update an clarification, the overheating remained until I replaced my exhaust manifold, both gasket and manifold had leaks, so I installed new gasket and a manifold (from a Esteem, little soldering required) and now, everything is cool now banana:

Finally no more overheating, and I followed the idea of the spill free funnel, my is not so mucho spill free actually 😆 😆 😆 I kinda made something to keep hot air inside the hood to go through the radiator (you can see in the last pic, and yes, that is duct tape :P), now it stays smoothly between 89 to 95 celsius. The problem was that I had a busted hose that it didn´t looked like busted, so in the end I found out the leak and changed the hose.

Anyways, thank you guys =) B)

Can you post a pic of that Aisan carburetor?

There are several videos on youtube about them. Slow and smooth cars that with little modification can do more than 25% more on HP. Interesting.

This is what I managed to do last weekend, just re arraging things. Improved a bit, but yep, I need a shroud so, I guess I will have to get the oem fan out ( :pinch: )

Now before going there, just wanted to make sure you see what I managed to do over the past weekend. As you can see the fan is a puller so… (insert comments after that)

By the way, the Heater line should be as hot as the normal cooling line? or even hotter? I say this because my other temp gauge is located where the heater was supposed to be (gold T) so, since it is metal, and there is a flow of hot air coming from the fan, I was wondering if that could give me a wrong reading over time and maybe, just maybe I may be misjudging the temp reading there from the one of the oem temp gauge.

I would say is just from the heat, since they are the exhaust valves.
