Barrie, I got just what you need to make the carb work:
Primaries: .080" (part #1421)
Secondaries: .086" (#1423)
Rods: .062x.052" (#1441)
The primaries and rods are as recommeneded by RPI in the UK (They don't do
anything with the secondaries). The secondaries are my "trial and error"
method using a gas analyzer. I had the car on a dyno last fall and came out
with 143 hp @ 4750 rpm at the wheels and 190 ft/lbs of torque @ 2500 rpm.
These numbers were with .083"; .089" & .065x.052" (pri, sec & rods). The
above parts are what's installed now.
I've since added an MSD ignition to the car but haven't had it back to the
dyno. The mechanic setting up the carb suggested installing this unit to
clean up the emissions (we have Air Care out here in Vancouver. Old cars not
exempt).
Cheers
Simon Austin
