Deane Good info! I have heard of Link, dont know what types of engines they specialise in do you?
I was told by a Datrally customer whose engine I purchased, that Datrally used to set up this engine after a rebuild with chokes and jets selected from experience and road testing. Their tuner had great knowledge and many years of experience in setting up webers on Datsuns. He used basic diagnostic equipt to set up and fine tune, and road testing for checking. There is no doubting that the result is pretty good as this engine goes really hard throughout the power rev range, yet is still tractable and pulls without fuss from 1100RPM (Cam is only 72 degrees). Powerplay (formerly Datrally) seem to be well respected in the carby repair industry as the place to go when you want to tune a Datsun L series motor fitted with webers (after rebuilding them). I didnt know they used a dyno! My carby repair shop friend says Datrally are cheaper than self tuning by trial and error and having to buy full sets of jets, chokes etc. Errol, are you there? what do you know? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Deane Hayes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 02, 2004 10:13 PM Subject: Re: weber jets... > I found this Via Google: > > "Can any one point me in the direction of a real expert (in Melbourne, > preferably eastern suburbs) on tuning Weber DCOE carbies? > > Link Automotive in Thornton Cres Mitcham, lots and lots of Weber setup > knowledge, will do as good a job as is possible without a rolling road dyno. > > For the rolling road, I use Powerplay (formerly Datrally) down in > Cheltenam (not eastern subs I know)" > > Deane. > > > > rclough wrote: > > > I tried to search for a Datrally web site but the search only finds people > > who are using Datrally built weber manifolds - which are the only manifolds > > to use in Australia on high powered Datsun engines using Weber DCOE 45 or > > 48mm carbs. > > > > Datrally has another Trading name these days as Datsuns are becoming too > > small a market. > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Mohit K.
