dual weber linkage help

[BLUNT]

i havent rebuilt the carbs yet but im starting to mock stuff up to see how i will make this work. this is what i have as far as linkage goes. i need to know how to connect what i have here to the actual gas pedal. the other option is a string out the vent window. is there something sold for this purpose or do i need to fab my own stuff?? not sure if i should be rigging a cable or if there is something ready made that i just dont have here. thanks

Steve, some pictures with the same setup, with linkage or cable. Check in the pics, an extra brace in the end of the linkage for connect the pedal accelerator.

quick question on this setup... where do you pick up the vacuum advance for the dizzy?

I have the same carb setup. Big vacuum for brake booster is obvious, but doesn't the dizzy advance need a vacuum lint as well?

Thanks,

Len

the original dual carb 02 was the 02ti and it had a mechanical advance distributor with a slightly different advance curve than the tii distributor.

Bosh number: 0 231 129 033

btw, nice illustrations Fernando. these should be saved on the FAQ for reference.

Cars with twin Webers usually don;t run a dizzy with vacuum advance, buyt only mechanical advance. You will ne get a stable vacuum signal from those manifolds.

Blunt. The drawing shows clearly how the cable linkage is made at the floor section. I also prefer such a simple system with center pull. It is cheap and easy to fabricate. Any bicycle shop will supply the cable for a couple of $.

blunt,

your linkage has the provision for the accelerator rod the one on the far end should bolt to it. can you take a shot of that part and email it to me.

cheers,

In my 2002ti, two years ago, the original mechanical dizzy it had oil escape, and I replaced it with a dizzy with vacum advance disconected, and I run the car by four months while looked for a dizzy with mechanical advance, and I didm't have problems. I didn't feel the difference with the dizzy with vacuum advance, it work perfectly with the DCOE's, however, if you use your car for racing purpose or high rpm, dizzy mechanical is necessary.

If you have the option of to get a dizzy with mechanical advance of a 2002ti, is better, but the car run fine with your standard dizzy disconected.
