Do you have any experience with the carb on the CVCC? I've read its difficult to tune for proper performance.
Me And My Metro might have a reply. My only 1975 Honda was a CB400F motorcycle. I did alright with the carbs, but it's totally different. Do you have the Honda Factory Service Manuals yet? I searched for your car online last night. The original "Shop Manual: Honda Civic, 1973-1977" for the USDM is on sale on eBay (in print) from about $20 to $70+ ... I was hoping to find a free PDF for you (and me!), but no luck. It should be about 300 pages, but I only found a shady site with a 96 page version... probably Haynes or Chilton... no bueno.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
