You may want to clean the paint off the inside of your inlet manifold, it won't be long before it's all sucked into you engine.

I paid £500 second hand, for everything. ready set up carbs, inlet manifold, water pipes, alternator bracket, air filter, fuel pump, and the ignition

But I think it's £250 brand new for the ignition set up. The after care they give is really good.
