Well, after some work, the original problem with the Blitz looks like it is on track to be solved. I've had a new engine pipe made to replace the old one which was smashed off many years ago , and it's a beauty. I've also ordered a fuel tank kit from Permanent Painted Coatings to clean out the two fuel tanks, as they are in a fairly lamentable condition.
The Carby Kit i ordered from Chev Parts arrived, and with John Mackie's assistance we reconditioned the Rochester Carburettor in preparation for re-installation. The accelerator linkage problem still needs to be got around, so to speak; the water pump prevents the linkage from going in it's usual place across the front of the engine. Anyone else struck this problem? How'd you get around it?
