Work while manifold off? 140-160 1971

posted by  someone claiming to be Niel on  Tue May 27 17:43 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I find the Strombergs easy to work with. At the moment I'm happy with it, and New Zealand roads do not allow for performance driving. But I do plan on upgrading to FI. I've got an FI manifold in the garage, and will design my own system (electronic engineer). It's a lot of work, but it's what makes me happy. Some people install huge sound systems... The first project, however, is a real time programmable ignition (tune it as you drive). Sure, vacuum and centrifugle advance/retard mechanisms are good, but after 30 years... And tuneable?

I'm still wondering how to remove the fuel metering needle. It is stuck in the piston (yes, grub screw is out). Can I just pull it with pliers, or are there little springs and things that will get damaged?

Thanks
Niel
