Stripped Nikki Photos?
I removed the rats nest, routed all hoses to the proper places i believe... But I am still a little confused about some of the extra crap on the carb. I saw the How-to's by glazedham, but I am looking for actual pictures of the engine bay/carb setup with out any of the unnecessary air tubes, plugs, etc. I want to keep the choke, but nothing else, and switch to mechanical secondaries.... but I want to finish cleaning up the mess of wires/tubes on the carb first.

Damn, you powder coat that yourself? It looks sick. So basically the carb doesn't need any of the extra's on it at all? I see you have everything capped off, with the exception of a couple vacuum lines. But you kept the diaphragm for the secondaries even though you have converted to mechanical? I want my carb looking like that, minus your stunning paint job.

My mech. secondary mod is reversable, same as sterling. So I leave the vacuum diaphragm on. And I recently decided to go pre-mixed, so there are no lines running to the carb. anymore. And yea I do the powder coating myself, thanks for the thumbs up!

I would have to see how I like it personally before dropping money on the stock carb. I had thought about eventually upgrading unless the nikki mod's do the trick.

Ok I will give it a shot. What is your take on the choke... I don't plan on racing my 7, just want to make it more fun to drive. Should I keep it? Also I was wondering if the two modules on the air pump side of the carb are expendable. Rat's nest already gone.

Modules? Post pics. You don't need the choke unless you drive in extremely cold weather. I haven't used one in years. I don't even use the fast idle. Just rev the engine up and down between 1 -2.5K rpm for a few minutes before driving to keep it running and help it warm a bit faster. Gentle driving until the coolant gauge reaches normal operating temps and then give 'er ****.

Only good picture i have.
1/2" Plenum Spacer, 1:1 Linkage, Grose Jets, 13B Style air horn, 13B style throttle plate, Mazdatrix style Jets, blocked vacuum nipples.[racing beat air cleaner and foam filter now also]
Would like to sell it, but i'm not home to pack it up and ship it.

I guess I should just go big or go home, and strip everything off. I don't drive in winter since I'm from buffalo and salt destroys everything here. CobraStngSVT, does your carb output the same as sterlings?

I'm waiting for the bench test numbers but it should be in the same range.

I would run a better pump and FPR. But I don't know how "necessary" it is.

The majority of the vacuum lines on top of the engine and all of the solenoids (or most if you want to keep AC) is what you would be removing. Benefit is less weight and less crap to worry about.
