There was a recent discussion here about how much power 1.75 su’s could support.
Seems they would be ok for mild to fairly hot motors
If you have them in good nick and sorted to your motor
I can’t see why they wouldn’t be bloody good
**Don’t take my word as gospel about them fitting, Josh
I am making a fairly guessey assumption about a big old hz lid having enough height for those,
I’m only going on red 6’s looking so teeny tiny in those engine bays
I don’t actually know from experience.
I’d be making measurements of them outwards and upwards,
drawing mad professor builder’s diagrams on scrap gyprock then checking against the bonnet line
- to save the agonising pain of your bonnet not closing after all that work
I am only just a few steps ahead of you here, recently rebushed and installed
my set that I gave up on years ago. I couldn’t get them to run well, and gave up back then.
Was going to sell them off, but got inspired by all the talk around here.
Used heaps of the advice I found, set them up as fussy as possible on the bench,
and they started right away - ran well too! (besides a high idle and a few leaks)
The rave up is no joke either, I had a 455 Holley vac before and these things were definitely
worth the effort. Makes a lot more power, and my plugs are the cleanest they have ever been.
At the point of setting up the mixture settings/needle choice to find a few more k’s in a tank.
They’re awesome, I’m having a great time playing with them, and when blokes say
“They tune well when you don’t cut corners and rebuild everything right”
That’s the key to keeping your hair intact
After all that, what plans are you hatching with yours?
