Azzvan

My carby is all fixed, $150 later, and everything is now timed right, so i get to go pick her up again tonight.

Been enjoying driving her again
Oh yeah, before when i went to start in the morning, i needed full choke and had to pump the gas, and usually only kicked into life after about 3-4 tries, now that everything is new, quarter choke and a bit of gas and she starts first time.
There is still a flat spot in the middle of the rev range, anyone had this problem or know what it might be?

do you have a standard or modified cam
standard or bigger than standard carb
extractors or standard exhaust manifold ?

if all standard, check your vaccum lines, especially vaccumm advance of dizzy
if not standard, are the 3 suited for each other, cam has to suit carb and exhaust ...

I have standard cam and carb as far as i know, and extractors (going to get a new exhaust in a few weeks)
my vaccum lines are f**ked according to my bro, there is one that was just sucking up dust as it wasn't connected to anything. there's a bolt jammed in it now to stop it sucking crap.
this is also on my to do list, didn't think though that the problems might be related. (sounds kinda stupid of me when you spell it out)

LOL got some ace close up photo,s but george  . . . yes have been busy as,last 7 weeks down to melbourne for 4 weeks, then home, then up to coober pedy (nice place ahhahahaha) over to prominant hill mine, (drove my first road train AAAwesome), back home, over to yarrawonga, then home. . phew, nice to put the old jumpers up,n pull the scab off a coldie, missus asked me who i was when i walked in    an yes i had bedddrawl symptoms till i logged on again. hey jeez.. does the flat spot continue to kind of choke if you put your foot down more or does the throttle respond again giving you acceleration?

Nah, put your foot down and it just struggles through untill revs finally pick up. I'm used to driving a little 5spd Barina so i know i'm shifting too early (into 3rd around 40kph) but hopefully the 5speed conversion will make this flat spot less noticable

Gonna get my 15x10's fully polished before i fit them to the tyres, ($65ea)
Still looking for a set of 15x7 or 15x8 US Indy 5 slots for the front

5-Speed conversion

The Azzvan is now in the shed, with nothing from the engine back. Trans, driveshaft - gone
Flywheel is off getting re-faced, a replacement pressure plate is on order.
My box of goodies from Dellow arrived (about $1400 worth) and all looks like its gonna fit
The 5 speed just needs a clean and then its ready to bolt up, oh and a custom crossmember??
HQ diff needs to be picked up and then that can go under, and as soon as my wheels are back all nice and shiny, tyres can get fitted to them

As the sale of the old van fell through (again, thanks to another ebay time waster) my $$$ are drying up. (P.S its still for sale for $1000)

Still looking for some US Indy's for the front and untill i get them, i dunno if a Hoppers disc kit will fit

Pics coming soon

Hey, i've updated my gallery, with a few pics of the start of the 5-speed conversion
