1966 Elan FHC, mein gekauftes Auto, das nicht aufgebaut wurde

Starting to prepare the fuel system, still on the fence about the swirl pot as the fuel tank itself is already a baffled unit so not sure I need/ want to add the redundancy/ complication, but we’ll see…

For now, I wanted to wrap up some of the smaller, annoying items up front so I can be ‘officially’ done with the engine bay. Nearly there, still a few things to wrap up…

(1) Jenvey Heritage ITBs have a shorter mounting flange than Webers so the studs had to be removed, and the 5/16” holes were re-tapped to have some clean threads, the studs looked like they had some gray antiseize added a LONG time ago that was gumming up the threads. The #4 & #3 cylinders were a bit of bear to tap with their space so close to footwell/ pedal box area. Done!

(2) The throttle shaft for the Jenvey Heritage ITBs that was ~3-4mm too long and needed to be trimmed. I avoided this because I hate cutting up new parts, but it went relatively easy and is now done. Would’ve been easier if Jenvey had just provided the correct length threaded arm

(3) Finally, while I want to believe this distributor block off plate will stay in-situ I wanted to make sure there’s a hold down which will use the Original distributor hold down bolt. CAD model prepped :slight_smile:

Getting closer, one annoyingly small project at a time…
