Hey guys, So for the time being, I’m having to wire up a fuel pump since I have Weber carb on my car (came that way when I got it). Im running a 6 volt system, so the low pressure pump I have will work, but how would I go about wiring it? I would like for it to run only when the key is on. I...

My plan is to keep the juice brakes for now, maybe later on down the line go back to original. The wipers I have now are electric, but I don’t know if those are original or add ons. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you Ken! One free day I’m gonna take you up on that. Work is getting in the way of this hobby of mine! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe this is an updraft carb. What is needed for restoring back to original? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys, so quick question for you experts. My car has an aftermarket Weber carburetor, and I would like to make the car as original as possible. This means going back to a Zenith Carb. How hard of a swap would that be? I know it wouldn't be just a pop off pop on swap. What would be the benefit...

So if I understand right, the cap shouldn’t touch the contacts? If it does, then it would ground out?

Thank you for the encouraging words! I believe she is messing with me. I want her running so bad, that my patience is almost non existent. I do have a club nearby. The Autumn A’s out of Quitman, Texas. I think it’s time to sign up!

Lord I hope not, isn’t that pretty involved to replace?

Yes the coil was replaced with a 6 volt coil. I'm not sure I know what an external ballast resistor is. Everything was taken off that wasn't needed except for a glass fuse from the 6 volt alternator. I haven't used the gravity fed fuel just yet, I'm pouring fuel directly in the carb just to...

The horn and lights aren't hooked up right now. The plan is to get the car running and then worry with the horn and lights. The coil wire is attached to the coil and to the cap.

I will give that a check, thank you.

I haven't checked the gap on the plugs, but I will. When I took it to my friend, he rewired it and timed it to get *** to run. So all of that should be good, I don't understand why it won't run.

I plan on using the 6 volt battery, unrelated issue with the starter, which I plan on fixing. The starter needs rebuilding and I was making sure that was the issue by using the 8 volt battery to turn it over enough.

I didn’t think of that, I’ll work on that. Now the problem with checking plugs for spark is I have the metal plug wires, how would I do it with them?
