Ugh, thought this would be somewhat straightforward and it was - Until I got hung up on the last step... Starting the car. Gas pedal won't move more than ~1/3 of travel! The 1101 throttle connection moves right to left, my 1100 moved up and down. I did not see the need to change throttle linkage anywhere in the upgrade info! Just spent some time trying to locate any info on how to adapt the linkage and came up with nothing...
The car - '63 Comet S-22, 4 speed, Original 170 cid engine, .030" over, Clifford header. About 35K miles since the rebuild, this is a daily driver. Even have studded snow tires for it. A real daily driver.
Worn out original 1100 carb seemed like the perfect excuse to ditch the load-o-matic vacuum only distributor too. Bought the 63 specific DUI, re-gapped the plugs, new plug wires, rewired for full voltage to the DUI. Put on the professionally rebuilt 1101.... Wow! Started and dialed in easily enough but not street ready until I figure out the linkage. Please help!
Also I'd like to go to electric choke like I had on the 1100, but having trouble finding the smaller diameter electric choke housing for the 1101 to replace the vacuum one.
And the choke on the 1101 is a bit higher and hits the bottom of the air cleaner. Is there later air cleaner base I should use? I like the look of the stock air cleaner and would prefer to keep it.
Thanks
