jessicas xmas pressie

just re-read afew posts so here are answers (bases on my experience)

Commerracer/Paul there isn't any room for a filter as-is. Expecially with the gaskets on. The plan it to make up a mini pleum chamber to fit between the carb and the filter. I need to be careful as the space it tight and I don't know how much the engine moves when running.

daytona - no panel cutting (I'm not panky you know!) I'll try to post details of the mini plenum once I've made it :D


I need to have a guess at the needle to use too so the plan it to use ... er the needle thats in the carb at the moment!

a couple of other "top-tips". I got myself a hif 44 carb head sheild as this includes the mounts for the choke and throttle cables which shold make things easier. I've also just baught a choke cable clip (which fits on to the heat shield) and a HIF specific acelerator cable which includes the special flange that also fits on to the heat sheild.

more updates when they happen!

yep, thats broken [xx(], manifold nuts are best if they are stainless or brass.
that deflector plate really needs to stay or you will have a big dead void and the gases will clog up.
you will need to weld another plate on top, this means welding cast iron to stainless to steel, so dont mig it. it needs bronze welded, if you,re stuck stick it in the post ;)
mini plenum is good so long as its unrestrictive [8D] that filter elbow on the carb mouth is a bad design, so the best plan would be a stub stack with ducting attached going off to a k&n.
ideally there shouldn,t be anything within 1 1/2 x the diameter of the carb bore or it can act as a pulse plate.
using the existing needle is the best starting point :)
