BTW, the glider tug was delivered and went over great. The wind was blowing from the wrong way so all the planes had to be dragged down to the far end of the runway. It got a workout on it's first day on the job.

guys

The difference is "all the love" and a little black magic that Kieth puts into his carbs.

I am still waiting on my carbs and trick manifold, as promised at the mitty, By the way just went through the last of your Dr. Pepper at the races last week.

Just so you don't think I'm completely slacking, just mostly, I've got a pair of carb bodies and manifold lined up ready to start modifications.

Just curious, what kind of mods?
BTW, took all 6 SU's I had around, mixed and matched and came up with a good set, for now. It's nice to have an idle.

Keith,

You may be too late. Russell is selling his car...

I'll go ahead and finish them anyway. What kind of mods? Things that are pointless unless you are running a full race, 8000RPM+, totally useless on the street motor. It is possible to double the flow of the SU carbs. However, if you don't have an engine that needs it you are wasting your time. The stock carbs with the right needles can keep up with anything you would want to drive on the street.

The last pair of these I did had the initial testing done on my bone stock 1600. I did a bunch of acceleration runs with the GPS. The data was racked and stacked to produce torque curves. The differance between the stock carbs and the modified ones was Zero, None, Zip. They are a true demand carb and the originals are of adequate size for a stock engine.

Keith,

Please go ahead and finish them my roadster hasn't sold yet and I do want to run them, at any rate I will put them on and go to the dyno so we will have a great baseline for the setup.

Looking foward to it.
