wardy18 33 1 Cars Posted November 5, 2007 Afternoon all As i will soon be fitting the 45 Webers to my 1900 8v can anyone please give me quidelines on what i can remove from the engine etc that is no longer needed. my main issue is the wiring side of things as i know alot of it can go, but exactly what can i get rid off as i have no intentions of ever reverting it back to Injection i just dont wanna start hackin away at wires removing them from source only for it to not start when i finished or anythin. any guidlines would be great from those who have done this before?! many thanx simon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
projectpug 0 Posted November 5, 2007 Well i jumped into fitting mine this morning thinking cant be too hard as theres loads of 205s with them on. However ended up getting soaked in petrol in my eyes aswell when i cut the cut fuel rail hose i thought it was empty ! I then removed the manifold from the head and the green niagra falls decended all over the garage floor the coolant decided it would flow out of the holes in the inlet mani everywhere. Now however im stuck on what should be done next? Ive got all the wires and pipe just hanging around everywhere. So as Wardy said any guide on what to do step by step would be appreciated immensely i am optin for the twin regulator method if this helps as i have already purchades them.

boldy205 75 Posted November 6, 2007 all you need let in the car is ignition circuits and wires for sender wires for guages on the dashboard. If you are unsure id keep ld the wiring in the car for now. Yes the ECC Can go. along with SAD, everything from air filter to manifold, and the whole lot looks LUSH! And sounds even better!! Hope it goes well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

projectpug 0 Posted November 17, 2007 Right got to the stage where i need to hook up the black coil to the loom only problem is when i connect it now there is no where for the coil to do its just lying on top on the thermostat hose and a sea of other wires. What should i do to tidy this up? Im thinking of cutting all the wires to the coil and then extending them si i can mount it somewhere properly? Whatis the best solution for this ?
