Frank is In WHHHHHOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry theres very few pictures as we spent most of the time working frantically to get Frank in running order.
A big thanks to everyone who helped especially Paul and Tristian for putting up with my insanity on Sunday and right through to 4.30 am on Monday morning when I left to drive PJ back to Australind
sadly the carby will need to be rejetted or replaced with a smaller carby and Im driving with no centre console or a rubber flange on the shifter to seperate the road noise from the interior .
Having said that when she isn't drowning in fuel PJ goes like a small rocket and having AWD is a marvel in the wet no more front wheelspin at the lights or at any point for that matter
once again a big thankyou from me and PJ for everyones help over the course of putting this all together

there are plenty of tuning books available for holleys even from public libary. i reckon you will need to change air bleeds on mains and idle. they are pretty simple to play with, the hardest bit is working out if they are rich or lean and what part of the fuel circuit is in control and will have the most effect.
remember if you enlarge air bleeds you lean carb out, and go very small steps.
you may find at cruize you are actually lean as the small motor gives a weaker signal to the carb. you are probably way big on accelerator pump and rich at power valve.
easy to determine whats what with wide band airfuelratio meter, and easier than plug chop method

Good work toonga!
I'm guessing (as my memory fails me) EJ18 with EJ AWD gearbox? Nice. I too can't wait for AWD goodness!
As for the holley thing (and the brizilian kid) thing, you'll work it out at some stage. Give the brizilian kid to Alex for one week, don't tell him she's wearing an electric shock chastity belt and I'm sure you'll get her back soon enough. Alex might even learn something And you'll get a week off. Jokes...
And where are the pics???
Cheers

Im very happy with the results and sorry no pics or video yet but that will come hopefully tomorrow wifey permitting
I sourced some smaller jets for the carby (42's) they cost 14 dollars so that was a nice suprise and some new spark plugs bosch yridiums or something for 13 dollars for a set I think they are about 28 dollars a set normally
some little bugs to iron out like no temp gauge (Im working on that one) anyone out there got a nissan 82 -94 temp sender? a part of the centre console is in Perth still, so no complete console there and Ive got no choke so cold starts are a bit of fun
