Need help getting my Side draft Weber’s dialed in...
Hey guys. I could really use some help/advice. Almost three years ago I rescued a 1976 2002 from a garage In Southern California that had been sitting for nearly 15 years. Had a mechanic there go through the car extensively to get it running. It has excellent compression, a schrick cam, dual DC45 Weber carbs and a Korman intake. When I had the car shipped over to me in western MA it was running “decent” but seemed super rich, would get really loaded up when idling/under 1500 RPMs, has a timing surge on the highway and a massive intake leak. Did a ton of research, adjusted the carbs and made it a little better, converted to electronic ignition, and fixed the intake leak. But still runs rough. Messed with timing, found TDC, timed it- this helped a little, but still can’t get it dialed in. It’s super Happy at wide open throttle but hates cruising around town and has a massive misfire/stutter (pops/backfires through the intake) especially when letting off throttle and coasting in gear. I’ve brought it to two local “specialized” euro mechanics in western Ma but to no avail. I’m about ready to give up. Is it possible to actually get it to run Right with the set up I have or lost cause? I can send all the invoices as to what’s been done or helpful. Any advice (specifically a good mechanic in New England that could help) would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Subframe welding, Steering Box disassembly
Repaired the front subframe by welding in reinforcement plates--one for the driver's side motor mount (which was cracked), and the other for the center bottom of the subframe (which was all bent up from car jack use). Also fixed a bent and broken tow eye; we're guessing they were both bent inwards when connected with a tow strap. Many thanks to Ken Calardo for the welding! Video here. Disassembling the steering box required the use of a pneumatic pickle fork to hammer off the pitman arm. Then, while trying to remove the two seals, I was (unintentionally) trying to tear apart the seals instead of removing them; oops. I had read about the metal inside the seals and had removed those—but I had removed only the springs, not the frames. Once I understood this, I simply yanked the seals out with Vise-Grips. Now on to the soaking and cleaning of all of the bits…
