Due to the economy I am forced to sell my speedster. I need the money more than the car right now. I tried to sell it before mostly because money was tight but decided I couldn't do it. I love the car but have little choice.

I will concider all reasonable offers. Paid $15,000 a year and a half ago. I have more pics on my pic page. Has a 1600cc with a solex kadron carb. It needs a boot? or panel? that goes around the engine to keep the hot air from circulating on the engine. We drove it up from S. California in July of 2007 and it ran fine. No overheating but it still needs that panel in there. It is exactly as we got it except we swapped the dual carbs that were choking the engine for the single. Runs much better now. (Not so rich) Tach doesn't work. I can't think of anything else to say about it. Please ask questions and I will try to respond as quickly as possible.

Thank you Paul. We can put hose clamps on it. It is pretty much set up just like it was before we changed out the carb except we got a new filter and replaced it. Can anyone show or explain how it should be set up?

This pic is original setup. Smaller filter and no hose clamps. (Im just a woman with wanabe gearhead qualities) ;-)

Denise:

Leave the filter where it is for now. I would rather see it up there than down closer to the heads and exhaust, especially since you say that it needs the heat shield installed around the engine.

Go to an Autozone or Advance Auto or Pep Boys (or someplace like that) and get a couple of hose clamps that'll fit your gas hose on both sides of the gas filter and install them moderately tight. That should do it.

Happy Holidays!
