Project Fat Nikki

Got the carb all back together. Redid the throttle linkage to put the fast idle
linkage in. Also add the extra gaskets to the AP diaphram and extended the
AP lever arm. Bench adjusted everything as well.

Heres the front view (drivers side) of the assembled carb.


Some detail on the linkage. Pics like this helped me when I was trying to get
this setup correcly.

A buddy is shipping me an ACV block off plate. So this won't be going to DGRR.

Sunday when I get back from DGRR I'll toss it on and see how it does. I expect
to show it off at the Mitty the following weekend.

I updated the first post with what has been completed. All thats left is the ACV
plate and then plugging random vacuum hose fittings on the throttle body and
intake manifold.

I haven't decided what to use for the air cleaner. I have the blue mazda one
that came on the carb but it has lots of pipes on the bottom for useless
emissions crap. I guess I could just cut em off and seal em up. I'd eventaully
like to get a cold air intake setup ala ReSpeeds radiator support. Thats another
project and another day.

My wife and neighbor think I'm crazy but they just don't understand how much
"fun" this can be.
