Hi Guys, it's been a while since I posted. I've been working on the roadster body.
A friend has build a foundry and we're going to try and cast a manifold. The plan is to have three identical cast tubes with the appropriate flanges. I'll fab a plate to tie all three tubes together at the carbs but they will all be independent and feed a single port. Yeah, tuning will be a bear but that's the plan for phase 1.
OK, a question. When I started this thread earlier this year, I titled it SU sidedrafts but my carbs are actually Stromgbergs. I know they are very similar in operation but are there significant differences/advantages. Back in the early 70's I owned some 6 cylinder Triumphs with Strombergs. At some point, apparently Zenith took over Stromberg??
Finally, I learned something last night. When I first researched the carb kits I found them at Autozone. My eldest son is now a store manager for Advance and I asked him if they could cross Autozone part numbers. They can and I've ordered
Item: 96-305
Notes: Zenith model O.E.M. #175CD-2S, 175CD-2SE
Each kit is about 18 bucks. I ordered only 1 to see what was actually in the kit and make sure it is the right one for my carbs.
Thoughts and comments?
