finished painting the engine/parts and bought twin 1 1/4 su carbys off of ebay , $430 for the carbys and manifold , i thought it was a pretty good price

Finally hooked up the vac advance on the 123 dizzy correctly. I've been running it connected to the crankcase vent port on one of the twins, but discovered in an odds-and-sods drawer a PCV fitting for the manifold. So, fitted a reducer to that and attached the vac line there.

Haven't driven it yet, so have bugger-all idea if it'll make any noticable difference. Theory says I should get more advance with a crack of throttle (i.e. high manifold vacuum), which should improve fuel economy a bit and give a little better throttle response. Time will tell
