hope that helps.

make sure you've got well fitting clamps on every pipe attachment or it might leak when the engine builds pressure

[jafanan]

Thanks very much, really appreciate the effort you went to

Anyone got a photo of this plumbed? Just want to double check all is correct

Does it matter which pipe is in and out.of the auto choke?

[jimbob-mcgrew]

pretty sure the inner core of the matrix and autochoke are loops, so doesn't matter which way round. but as far as the matrix is concerned, physically the inlet manifold is inline with the lefthand side pipe, and the L-shaped water pipe below is inline with the righthand side pipe.

if your using official nova hoses, I don't think they criss-cross over very well, would be a stretch, and look untidy.

[jimbob-mcgrew]

do you know how to bleed the system, via the temperature sensor ?

[jafanan]

Yes using the original hoses.

have done it just as your diagram and it looks untidy but as long as it correct.

struggling now with my 2e3 and the correct fuel piping.

[jimbob-mcgrew]

it shouldn't look untidy, that's how it came from the factory

' fuel in ' is the pipe pointing out the back of the carb (might have a funny looking arrow, pointing inwards, on it)
' fuel out ' will be pointing to the passenger side of the car (if it has a return line)

when the air filter housing is screwed on, you wont see any of it anyhows :)
