We did'nt hear back from the mechanics on friday , there where going to get back to us about using a differant carby i said its not a race car so does;nr need a holley on it so yeah just find a VERAJET which is what they came with from the factory by GMH ..Well karen rang them on friday & they say they could'nt find anything else..THEN the ***** said to Karen if ya use a VERAJET you would have to find an adapter for it WTF!! hello that what GMH put on them.YES they are a fiddly carby as they run lots of polution garb on them & do take a little to sort out & tune..I was'nt happy friday as they say just stick with what you have so they took the holley off & sent it away for a rebuild.So if where lucky we mite see the car back LATE this week, But i have no idea as to what else there going to say needs replacing So i know the bill is going to be well over what we can afford ..I used to have a tool , It was like a multi meter BUT it had probes for heat & exhaust temps PLUS had sencers for emissions & also a cap for air flow at the carby, you could also set the dwell had a tacho aswell BEST tool i ever had SO i could tune all my cars with it BUT some low life stole it a few years back & we have never been able to replace it but when i do i wont be sending any of my cars to be worked on ever again..
We have had to pick cars up before as people have tryed to say to us you cant do this or that we have to do this or that..
Once went to get tyres fitted & i wanted the white writing at the front of the tyres as it would look nice on the car the moron tryed to tell me na we cant do that cause we wont be able to balance properly & i just laughed me head off & left with me car..
So yeah they mite get the carby back maybe tuesday then it has to be tuned & all set up & i want it run on the dyno so its tuned right threw the range..
So not happy & i'm hopping Karen will let me pick the car up as i realy want to meet this moron that thinks you need a adapter for the verajet..
All red engines had the stromberg carby except for some late red 202s which had a verajet but they where differant to the blue engined verajet.
Strombergs are a single throat carby & verajets are a duel throat carby.
The green car runs a holley 350 4 barrel with an adapter on the original manifold that had the verajet on it so if ya take the adapter off GUESS what the VERAJET bolts straight on..
I can see why so many people get riped off by mechanics.Alot of mechanics nowadays wont even touch a carby engined car they just dont know what to do & all the old guys are retireing so its only the youg guys who have only ever worked on cars that ya can plug a computer into to tell ya what wrong with the damn thing..GGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRR..
Ahwell the green one better sing & try making love to me for the amount its going to cost & if there is so much as a fart in it its going back straight away..
