Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but thought I'd give it a try. Even though I have a freshly rebuilt Nord engine in my Alfetta GT, I'm not totally happy with it. Since I have a Twin Spark I'm toying with the idea of installing it, but to (hopefully) simplify the job, install the 40 DCOE's from the Alfetta. I would also get a Steck (or?) single distributor to replace the dual ones. I'm assuming the carbs might need rejetting, if so any suggestions? Yes, I know, most everyone goes with 45's but I'm trying to do this on a tight budget.

My first and perhaps most major hurdle is to see if I can get the TS installed without needing to cut the underside of the hood/bonnet. I'd start with seeing if the engine mounts can be lowered - or lowered enough - to achieve this. However, I am concerned this might upset the driveshaft.

After I got it running, I would then consider installing the Motronic system unless I'm happy with the carb arrangement. Question: This is really naive on my part, but how to those using carbs handle the ignition advance?
