1963 AP5's dirty old '82 Sigma SE

The first task was to replace the factory carb. I pulled the plugs and it was obviously running super lean and on top of this i am sure that the vacuum secondaries weren't working. I couldn't find a rebuild kit for it so replacement seemed like the best option. I went for a 32/36 Weber because I have had good results with Weber's in the past and I find they are easy to configure and tune for different applications.

Amazingly a few parts have shown up during lockdown so on with the show!

The fuel pick up strainer arrived so I got the fuel pick up reinstalled and also mounted the electric fuel pump.

I started installing the fuel lines however I ran out of 5/16 fuel hose so the last little bit will need to wait.

I got the position of the fuel delivery device sorted so I trimmed the manifold flange, I am happy that everything fits right where I planned so that's a win.

Old bogans will recognise the unmistakable shape of a Holley 2300 flange.
