Hello everyone, I just joined and also just recieved a 1985 Accord with a 1.8 engine, carb and 5 speed, I noticed some tee fittings have been JB welded (fittings for the vacuum controls) and some of the vacuum lines have cracks, Before I spend a few hours removing cutting fixing this vacuum nightmare, is there another carb that will bolt on or maybe a carb/manifold combo that would allow me to remove the vacuum lines/control box all together, Im looking for two things ease of install (meaning no more vacuum trees) and I would like to keep or increase the fuel economy.

Thanks so much for the help....Also no matter what I put in the search box it comes back with no results. Hope I provided enough info for everyone that answers.

Ron
