Lotus Elan and Lotus Elan Plus 2 Forums

This is a good sort of problem I suppose in that I’m trying to get the car ready to fire, but I believe I have the wrong piece here.

My car is a 1969 Elan with Strombergs and I believe it should have a connector as pictured (taken from this site).



What I actually have is this, which I can’t see making work as the studs in the wrong place.

Well, welll, look what I found in the bottom of a parts pile.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program...

I can't tell from the order of the pictures which you have but both are appropriate. The one with the tube is preferred. The other is from a federal setup, and the blocked off sections on top were for the crossover tubes.

Good morning, thanks for the response.

I was just missing the adapters, which of course I cleaned and painted so long ago that I forgot I had them. Oops.

Carbs are mounted now, just need to figure out the linkage as it was all taken apart before I got it. Have to do some searching here on that.

Hope your week is going well.
