    It'll fit no problem providing your car has a carb already. It's just a case of removing the old carb, fitting the new one and having it tuned up really!

    I think a brand new manual choke cable from Vauxhall was around ?30 last time I bought one. You could go to a scrappy and pull one from a manual choke Nova for much less I think!

    Sorry, I forgot to mention: It doesn't come with manual choke cables etc. It's just basically the carb plus manifold adapter!

    FS: Weber 32/34 DMTL

    Weber 32/34 DMTL plus manifold adapter. It's remained boxed since I bought it (second hand about 6 months ago) so it might be an idea to give it a clean out/service before use.

    I'm looking for...

    I'd go with Janspeed. Decent quality and not deafening at low revs. As I recall, I've got a mild steel system on my SR (1.4) with a 3.5" back box. Lovely sound and seemed to improve power a bit but...

    Rejoice!

    For I have defeated the bastard waterpump that had seized in the engine block! It really feels incredible when the pump just falls out after battering it to death with a long breaker bar!

    The carbon canister is usually on the passenger side though? I think it's more likely to be the secondary horn (GSi's are multitoned, at least mine was!). It should be held on by a bracket that has...

    How the fuck do you get the pulley off? Tried it with a breakers bar and it just turns the engine. Tried holding it at the camshaft bolt but the camshaft bolt just undoes itself instead!

    This I can confirm is true! Made a fair bit of noise by doing this to a 1.2 carb :)

    Don't bother mate. Just tell them "At least it's still running!".

    A well running Nova with high mileage is more impressive than a low mileage banger, I think.
