A look at my workshop manual shows all sorts of things that you don’t appear to have.

I’d find someone else to do the RWC. ADR 27a covers emissions from 1st July 1976 to 31st December 1981 and doesn’t state what should or shouldn’t be on the engine to meet the standard IIRC, but just give figures that the vehicle has to pass - granted, I doubt a Holley would meet these but if they didn’t actually test for anything, how could they fail it?

I can give you a number of someone who wouldn’t have a clue what carby was on the engine when it was made and is sympathetic to older vehicles.

Ditto. Choose who does your roadworthy.

Oh and it's an Edelbrock knock off of a Weber not a Holley

Thanks fellas, I appreciate the help. Pm sent to Homestar.

Been working on the interior made up centre underdash panel etc almost there I'm at stage of fitting re built original jack etc.

Looking good.

Heres some evidence that it will rev this was in second gear

6360rpm. I think 6500 is achievable had to back off as 6300 in second may be a bit quicker than 80kph which was limit on road i was on
