Salutations fellow Saabaholics
Acting upon the excellent advice of members on this site, I purchased a fine 1970 Saab 96. Dollied her home Valentines day and have been tinkering non-stop since! She is in VERY good shape for a 37 year old,stock except for a Weber 34 ICH carb. Steers tight and shifts smooth. I am seeking advice on several restoration questions.
Carb settings: The plugs that were in the car were very light colored. It may be on the lean side. Haven't pulled the carb apart yet and wonder what jets/settings are working for others?
Axle stop straps: Are they available, and from whom?
Headrest removal: The covers are worn, and the foam is flaking, so I didn't want to pull the seat back cover up to investigate. Can the headrest be removed so a generic low back cover can be installed?
Rear hat shelf: I couldn't figure how to get this out of the car. It is serviceable so I didn't want to damage it. There are 3 clips under the rear edge but I was afraid to bend them too much. There does not seem to be enough slack to move the shelf in any direction.
Thanks in advance.
Tom
