I'm running that set up on my '72. However, I am having problems with it. With
the B1AF needles, I am having a rich running condition that I can't get rid
of. Especially just off idle in the acceleration section of the taper. The
poor selection of Stromberg needles and the vast selection of SU needles make
finding a suitable needle taper... difficult. AFAIK, I am the only one running
this tri-carb set up that is having this issue. If any one else is please
speak up now. Also AFAIK, I am the only one currently running a tri-carb set
up at over 5000 feet in altitude. As I usually head UP into the mountains and
canyons of Colorado to have my fun, the problem gets worse the higher I go.
I'm planning on reverting to a twin carb set up. I plan on eventually going to
Fuel Injection and instead of spending money on SU's or hours on the dyno
switching out needles, I think I'll just revert back to the twin carbs. I
don't expect a huge difference in power as the twin carb set up will be using
two HS-8's(2" SU's).
Richard has told me that he has never experienced this problem at the lower
altitudes. The workmanship is top notch on the manifold and the ram-air box.
