Glad you mentioned that, because initially I thought that might be the logical/easiest place to put it. All my research indicated on the carb was the way to go. I'll have a think about it. See what I can come up with.

twin carbs/single...? err twins..... errr 4 of them!! :-) 'choke' is often refered to as the actual venturi 'choke' within the carb, not necessarily the choke enrichment system used when starting from cold! for example a 45 carb like mine has 36mm chokes in it! the tps unit I got hold of (off a for...

i have dellorto drla 45's on my engine, i rigged a red ford TPS on the end of the throttle shaft, well more accurately there's a slot cut into the spindle end washer which the tps arm locates into i'll post a pic when I get one... working the map for 8 inlet runners was too much like hard work for ...

Your last option would be far and away the best bet. I guess that the DRLAs are single-chokes each? If so the vac tube you mention would be the perfect place. If this produces problems, tap into each runner individually, route hoses to the vac reservoir and from there to the MAP sensor. My Dells do...

I am hoping to be running MJLJ on a type 4 (between 1700 - 2000cc) air-cooled engine, with Dellorto DRLA 40s in my 1973 automatic camper. I am planning a road trip in the van, so simplicity in a roadside fixing situation is an important factor as much as ease of installation and robustness. I have d...

I am considering a different approach which should just "bolt on". It involves making an aluminium ring to fit into the recess of the impeller fan opening just underneath the fan belt groove. So on the "outer edge" of the fan itself, if I understand correctly? Attached to the ri...

Curious if any progress was made on this as I am considering doing the same.
