It's coming up on a year since i bought it, but for now just wanted a spicy 1600 lol.. In the future ill plan a different motor.
It's idling but not TUNED completely 😁
Im still getting the center mount idf to run properly.

It was a one owner car, less than 30k real miles and just going to be the weekend cruiser

I've never seen one of those carbs before. I has a wicked look to it. Does it have to be synchronized as if it was dual carburetors? The motor sounds strong.
