While I was at it I added in an extra toggle switch and ran the earth to it. This is for potentially going to an electric fuel pump down the track. I’ll also be installing a busbar to feed the positives when I get to this stage as I will be maxing out the fuse panel and relay mounting realestate I have available.
The plan is now to nut out the stromberg tune and later in the year convert to triple su’s which I got in a deal with some speco headers I bought a while back.
I had no intention of running the SU’s or even if what I had was worth spending any time and money on as they are the older HD6 carbs but someone had gone to a fair bit of time and effort modifying them to work on lynx grey manifold.
Again, talking to the guys with runs on the board they convinced me that SU’s would be worth investigating so a quick going over by the local carb gurus making sure they were workable had me dropping some coin on getting them cleaned up and some sort of linkage working as all this was missing. Cleaned up and re kitted they at least look the part and as long as I don’t run any ethanol/alcohol based fuel through them (which I won’t be) they should be up to the task.
When I convert it will be a bit more detailed than swapping a manifold out. Elec fuel pump, pressure reg, proper an lines and fittings to keep the tech inspectors happy, fuel log, changing the throttle cable setup, plumbing the vents back to the tank etc nothing is straight forward. Change one thing and it affects 10 others which all starts adding up $$$…. So the plan for now is to dial the strommies and then start again with the SUs later in the year when the budget permits. Strommies will then end up on a warm street grey which will either end up in the wagon or ek down the track.
