Having some trouble setting up my carbs. At work trying to set the Co got it down to 0.15 but seems its running weak. Got too sort the breathers on the carbs think they may be drawing in air. Anyone got any pics of their set up? Please and thank you :)

Update!!!! Eventually got a rear gearbox mount!!!
Image
How she sits just now
Image
Anyway got a manifold made for bike carbs ;)
Image
Image
Not the best but it'll do the job for now :)
Now this is where I need help! Got a facet low pressure pump to use with it the carbs, ordering a fuel pressure regulator also.
Image
My question/s are what dizzy to use? single vacuum or dual?
And I need a better specked cam for obvious reasons ;) but what one? D15b or d16z1 I think is the concerto one (correct me if I'm wrong)
And here's a pic of a car at my work with bike carbs on it :D ten man points to who guesses the car

Capri i reckon.

With regards to dizzy, use the stock honda one and blank the vacuum barb(on the dizzy) that leads to the blue thermo valve as its only purpose is to give an extra 4 degrees of advance when its cold.

The other one needs to decent stable vacuum source as it does the rest.
