Joe:
Three possible choices:
OEM SU's. Have them proffesionally rebuilt, which I think Z-theapy
charges around $400 for. Realible, simple, good for years.
OEM SOLEX - Nissan Competion wants something like $2200 for a new
set (Carbs, Manifold, Linkage), etc. Good used set should
go for around $600-1000 (???). Pretty simple, and run
great once set up correctly (little more of pain that SU's,
but better performance.
EFI -- Few roadsters running TWM throttle bodies on the SOLEX
manifold. I'd expect to spend around $2500 to get everything
set up correctly and installed.
Uh, those simple SU's start to look better all the time.
Cheers,
Tom
