I asked again. Only the fuel mixture needed adjustment.

Did you drive the car before the frame off?
Meaning - does it seem slow compared to driving it before the frame off, or just compared to other cars ?

No-one is to stone anyone, even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say "carburetor"
Yes I did, it is a few years ago though. Remember it as beeing more responsive.

Just to note that the oxygen sensor electrical connection (located at the rear of the firewall under the drivers side wooden board behind the grey rubber plug) needs disconnecting first to set the frequency valve to 50% before doing the fuel adjustment. (You can refit it afterwards if you so wish for a bit of extra fuel economy)
The shim of the fuel distributor primary pressure to 5.4 bar (78 psi) compensates for leaning off at higher rev range for the UK exhaust.
I would recommend you also get an emission reading as one adjusted with a non catalysed exhaust, you'll likely to get a reading between 1.0 to 1.5% CO and HC less than 250-300ppm. Any higher then further investigation on the injectors is required.
I'll assume you've checked the vac operation at the Control Pressure Regulator!

Make sure there's plenty in the tank for the weekend chaps....
First I will check vacuum on CPR (i guess procedure is well covered on this forum), disconnect the O2 sensor and adjust fuel mixture with a dwell meter. I think we only have an electrical multi meter that does this. Not sure if this one shows in degrees og %. If it does the opposite of what the manual says, any idea on how to convert the values?

I see I have a different CPR... Any input on this?
