My engine is at the shop, and I'd like some advice about ancillaries. My goal
is a largely stock, or period available, with adequate power for touring, and
good driveability. I have a Mk 1A, whose original 260 had too many freeze
cracks to salvage. I was able to buy an original Tiger 289, and it has needed
to be bored .030 over. I am retaining the original cast iron heads, new mild
cam for a bit more torque, new taller valve springs, hardened valve seats. I'm
inclined to use the Edelbrock carb, but wondered 500 or 600 cfm? I presume a
manual choke. Thin carb spacer? Using the Mk 11 timing cover, must I use the
cast iron water pump, or can I use the aluminum. I don't think I want a high
volume one. For the flywheel, a lightened steel one, or aluminum? And
probably a Centerforce clutch, per the recent discussions. Thanks for all the
help, this list is great. David
