Dell'orto Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Carbs may need a minor tweak would they not? To cope with less cc's etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 cc drop is pretty minor really. The carbs have been dyno tuned so not wanting to fuck with them to much. So yeah it might be a bint boggy and over fuelly, but will judge that once its together and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unclejake Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Dunno if you got pitons sorted yet, but I have a set of five new 87mm pistons of some sort in a box at the shed. Four are New Era brand and the fifth is a Repco (and a fair bit heavier). I bought them for use in the Cortina but I am 80% certain they were a Datsun piston Also: Conrodchris could be your man for new old stock pistons if your contacts are dry.

bubblegoose Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 the bore<> plays a big part in how much fuel is drawn out of the carb, so reduction in bore=reduction if fuel so you should be semi sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
