If you put in a K-kamshaft and a Weber 36/36 it will be a nice engine to have fun with. If you want more high power, go for a R-kamshaft and Weber 45/45 Have fun.. :)

I have a Weber 32/36 with an electric choke on my 1985 Toyota Tercel! They're amazing carbs. It's cool to know they also work on the Volvo cars too! They're pretty simple to tune and I absolutely love them! Man. What a great eye to catch that pipe leak! I would have ran some JBWeld on it too and let it dry until you can replace it later on. I put a small hole in my oil pan when I rebuilt my engine in my Toyota. I ran a bit of JB weld on it and it didn't leak a drop! Have you ever had leaks from the carb gaskets? I typically put a little engine assembly lube on mine to keep them from leaking. Great video as always! I am super excited for what's next with this old beauty!

I've put Webers on a few different things and they are a cake walk. I've had issues with gaskets not sealing completely and often use a light glaze of rtv to seal it up.

Great videos! Makes me want to start my own project. Just worried about the price all in...

Not to be that guy but I don't think you put all the gaskets on with the fuel pump. After having renovated an old b14 engine I know without gaskets for everything there, it'll start to leak.
