Another oops, this is something else I should have added to my list of 2000
versus 1600 in a '66.
My 2000 SU rear carb has a return line that went back to the fuel tank.
It's got a heat sensitive valve that allows venting to the fuel tank.
Unfortunately, my '66 has no return line to the tank. So I took the carb
return line fitting, and used a tap&die set to thread it inside. Then I put
gasket sealer on a bolt, and bolted it into the return line fitting. Stuck
a fuel line hose over it, and clamped it down. Before I stuck the hose on
it, it was dripping a bit. I had used new fuel line everywhere, except for
reusing the old piece that joins both carbs. Natch, that's what spilled
fuel all over the manifold.
Hey Victor, will I be seeing you at Doheny in October?
