R16 metering needle testing

Post by keith0alan »

Hello all,

Brian at Sin City Datsuns is having new metering needles made. I am in need of a fairly stock 1600 with SU carbs to test the new needles on. I am in the Las Vegas area. If your carbs need rebuilt I will do that at no cost as part of the test program as well as a basic tune up if needed. Please contact me if you can help out. Needles for the U20 SU carbs are also in the pipeline and I will also be needing one or more of those cars. So, free tuneup and carb rebuild if I can use your car for the testing. Currently my 1600 is in bits or I would use it.

Hi Keith, if needed, I can send you a pair of carbs and then run them for you on a 1600 with an O2. (I know that isn't the same as a local car, but still might work out well) LMK, either way is fine. jt

jt,
That is pretty much what I would do. That would be great.
