Long time since I've seen side draughts I think the last ones I saw were on a Pinto in a Chevette, ah nostalgia. BTW you need a minimum of 10 posts

Is that a make? Side Draughts? Never heard that before. Those are throttle bodies though.

You have already seen all my pictures. Will try and put a proper thread up tomorrow. Might get more attention then. (I like attention)

Same idea! The Americans used down drafts on the V8's Side drafts were more common on 4 pot engines. I spelled it wrongly but I'm probably much older than you so like the other members of this site slightly senile and mad.

I feel like teasing and asking what carbs are now.

Carbs are a component of different food types they contain glucose and other complex sugars. The higher the carb content the more glucose (sugar) the food has so rich tea biscuits have much more carbs than steak. Carbs are bad if you're a diabetic

So less biscuits, more steak? I can live with that.
