Errol,
I dont know a lot about my carbs expect what I have said,and their is
heaps of bits inside that are blocked off and even some bits have be
bronzed up and redrilled.
It was the guy at the carb shop that pionted this out to me when i got
them recon'd,his eyes where haning out and he said these are prity
worked carbs and its no wounder they are better than 45mm ones.
I sopose they work well since the inlet mani is 40mm and so is the inlet
ports in the head.
He said 48 or bigger would make a difference.
They were on the car when I got it so I'll stick with them(for now)
