This is the first time I've seen your car and I can say, without hesitation, that yours is the cleanest engine bay I have ever seen. How in the world? I don't think the Duesenbergs in museums are any cleaner. Very impressive.

Damn, yeah no need for apologies, that is damn clean looking!
Looks good.
The alternator job is much nicer after the Weber install. Am I right?
The throttle cable bracket that comes with the kit does not allow you to get full throttle with the stock cable. A spacer to move its position around an inch forward will solve that issue. Also the spring that comes with the kit is pretty much useless. I had problems with my the butterflies in the carb not closing all the way until I installed a stiffer spring.
Anyway, have fun with it.

Thank you for the kind complements. The alternator is a breeze when there is no intake manifold in the way! I am very pleased with the car. I bought it as a basketcase with a bad carb. Thanks to the combined efforts from those before me I chose to go with this project. Yes I never really had driven the car before, but even with the bad carb that little honda just wanted to run. Damn it tried hard. things like a big FWD gocart! I am working out some bugs still but I am proud of this Accord. BTW the engine bay was absolutely filthy. I got to the point where I was removing hose clamps and hitting them with oven cleaner. I had the hood removed to make the weber install easier and scrubbed the underside of the hood. nice coat of wax, too.
Thanks again!
