Re: WANTED: Twin carb linkage images, set-ups, ideas...

My initial thought was exactly that, link the two carby's together and minimise the amount of linkages, but I would rather have access to the jets.

Looking at your pics Blacky, the EJ has an entirely different pedal box setup. I currently have mine in about 20 pieces ready for painting this ...

WANTED: Twin carb linkage images, set-ups, ideas...

Morning all,

Finally I have gotten back to the front end of the car and have finished re-building the two carbs going on my grey. Now comes the fun part of linking them together. I know American Auto Parts along with others have a linkage kit to suit but do they fit the dozens of varying intake ...

Grey Twin Carb Set-up

Evening all,

I am searching for any info you guys may have in regards to carburettor choice, jet sizes and linkage set-ups to suit a twin carb manifold on the 138 Grey.

I have a collection of carbs to choose from:
4 x BXUV-2
2 x BXV-2

Re: 138 Exhaust system...

You just answered my question! I was going to ask what muffler set up you were running!

I am considering splitting the system at the extractors and running twin pipes the full length.

On the other hand a nice stainless exhaust will finish off the underside but cost would rule out the above set up!

138 Exhaust system...

Evening all,

I thought what better way to hit the nail on the head first go, then ask what style of exhaust system everyone is running on there 138?

I will be running twin Strombergs and extractors that collect into a 2" pipe, from there I am open to opinions. I love the look of twin exhausts but ...

Re: 138 Alternator

Thanks for the info Scotty.

There are a couple of alternators lying around the shed, just have to make sure the cooling fins are pointing in the right direction!

Cheers,

Re: Brake/Clutch master cylinders the same?

Thanks very much Terry. The old man spoke to old motor mechanic mate of his and gave the same answer.

For those interested I have attached a section view of both the brake and clutch master cylinders with the only internal difference being in the brake master cylinder which has the check valve and ...

I want to ditch the generator of the grey and fit an alternator in its place. Does anyone have experience in ...
