Harve, Since the HS2's were never placed on a Spitfire1500 at the factory, it is hard to say how the AN needles will work. I tried a pair on a 1500 a few years ago and found that there was a flat spot about 4000 rpm and the car accelerated up to that point just fine but when it reached that magic point, it was if someone shut off the ignition switch. If I lifted a bit, it would pick back up.
I tried a few other needles but never did get it to perform the way I thought it should.

I am using AN needles. I have no idea what springs are in place. My questions: 1) Is the AN needle okay for street use? 2) What springs do I need, and how do I tell what I have? tks. harve Harve Thorn (NASS #79) 531 Amen Corner ('78 1500 Spitfire) Fayetteville, AR (looking for a "nice" GT6) 72701 USA 479.443.0818 evenings or lv msg ____________________________________________________________ Summer Spa Sweepstakes Enter for your chance to WIN a Summer Spa Vacation! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/fc/JKFkuJi7UbfIOIjDpzwyIvLvSrSoZoJf IlZJcZo7fDciujA8X39e3H/ This list supported in part by the Vintage Triumph Register http://www.vtr.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/triumphs You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.team.net/archive _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html [email protected] http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/spitfires http://www.team.net/archive
