- I recently purchased a used SU set with manifold and air cleaner from Dave Murphy. I sent the carbs and hardware off to Scott of Ztherapy to perform his restoration magic. I took the manifold to a l

- Yep, your biggest gain would be in matching the ports (called "port matching" oddly enuf) between carburetor, manifold, and head. Smoothing wouldn't hurt, but it won't make massive gains, either. The

- I'm quoting from the "Datsun Competition Preparation Manual" by Bob Sharp Racing, regarding a 1600 engine. If you do this, you're on your own. Keep in mind that Bob Sharp specified these mods as par

- If you are building a race engine yes. See Fred's post. For street, go polish a bumper instead. Remember, during street use, even agressive driving, the SU damper piston is down or mid position somew

- Matching the bores when there is such a small step size, and especially if they are smaller, rather than larger, than the phenolic blocks, is, as some other posts mention, probably not worth the effo

- I'm not so sure. Even a small and/or partial lip anywhere in the airflow path MIGHT tend to create interference swirls far out of proportion with what you'd think. You're pushing the air column again

- Horse power TV last week had a segment on port grinding. They tested the flow rates with a big vacume and with some complicated equations and came up with some impressive HP results. Now where the HP

- If the opening in the phenolic block were smaller than the matching opening in the manifold, presenting an obstructive step in the flow path, that would be more intrusive, I would think, than the sit
