    weber yo

    hey guys so im almost finished doing this 1.1 to 1.6 conversion, its been a super long painstaking job but its finally gettting there. i have a few questions to help me finsh it off.
    first of all. the engine has a 32/36weber on it, and im not sure where to run my dizzy vacuume lines any help would be legendary.

    second of all. this was a kinda stupid mistake. but i accidentally droped the plastic speedo gear into my gearbox. my idea is to drop all the oil and try and fish it out... is there any other way to get it done? haha thanks in advance for the help

    There's a reason that thing's plastic, it's so when it gets dropped into the gearbox it can safely be munched up and removed via a fluid/oil change.

    there are no vacuume lines on a webber 32/36, and there are two vacuume lines on the dizzy, so lost as to what to do. is it ok to run a line off the mani, wont there be constant vacuume and therefor always be advancing???
