Hi List,
I am making a stroker from my '70 1600 engine. I have new 40mm solex carbs
and the appropriate manifold that fits them to my 1600 engine (which now has
the new crank and connecting rods to make it a stroker).
Questions:
1) Bakelite Spacer between Solex and Manifold needed?
Do I need a spacer (bakelite?) between the carbs and the intake manifold?
On my SU's there are spacers that are about 5/8" thick or so. The studs on
the manifold for the Solex's are long enough to allow a spacer and I
wondered if I should put them there for some reason?
2) What is Fuel Pressure?
The Solex manual says that the fuel pump pressure needs to be within a
range. Does anyone know what the fuel pressure is for our fuel pumps (I am
using the same fuel pump that came on my '70 1600 engine, with a new
diaphram).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob Wilson
