[ADRIANFARINA]

I want to order coolant hoses and Ebay is full of 3gees hoses.
how do I know wich to choose?

[ADRIANFARINA]

closed the transmission oil lines and filled it with oil.
installed the dist. and wires.
installed the thermostat .
because I couldn't get original water hoses , I bought long hoses and made them fit .. and filled the cooling system.
now , I need to install the webber and buy a new battery.

[ADRIANFARINA]

I'm to spoiled with lifts, air tools, cherry pickers, engine stands to even try to attempt working on one in a street with that amount of work. Mad props for your devotion there....

[ADRIANFARINA]

now to the linkage issue:

found in my toolbox this aluminium spacer , exact fit!


need to cut this cable end



and insert it through the screw that goes through the linkage


and then...


I drilled a hole through the cable bracket



then mounted these two


and this small bastard


and the spring




works exelent!!

[ADRIANFARINA]

now to the questions














also, to wich wire do I connect the electric choke on the carb?
thanks!!

The vacuum advance port can go to the vac advance on the dizzy or you can just leave it capped, and run vacuum from another port on the intake.

The black sensor on the top of the thermostat housing can be left as is, although you don't even need to bother with capping those ports.

Same thing for the black and white sensors on the back of the intake manifold. you can just leave them as is since they don't do anything anymore.

All of the extra wiring harness bits and vacuum connectors on the drivers side can be either entirely removed, or just tucked out of the way. They also no longer go to anything useful.

edit: forgot to answer the choke question. The choke wire needs to be hooked into a 12 volt circuit that comes on when the ignition is turned on.

[ADRIANFARINA]

But the two vacoom ports from the dizzy go to the back of the intake manifold , should I add the one on the carb to the same line?

no. It's fine to leave it like you already have it. You don't even need to use both ports on the dizzy. The one closest to the front of the car can be left unplugged.
