    Clutch Fan - Can you check them?

    the thermo fan on my ute was stuffed and it was awful fan noise at anything over 1500rpm it wasn't until i drove low km XG that i saw a clutch fan that worked how it should (it kicks in like a thermo fan and slows down enough that ya can't hear it when the engine cools)

    single rail in e series??

    well maybe dellow or mall wood and have a look around at swap meets and ebay because i think its something the speedway crowd would do re drilling the bell and bolting the bell to the box could work but you will need some sort of ring around the input shaft bearing retainer because the singel rail is smaller

    Differences in 34 ADM Weber Carb, which one to use?

    use the one that allows the secondary to open fully at full throttle (probably the one without the TPS wire)
