A quick rsvp. I have a 1976 B. I removed the smog stuff like Steven
described. I replaced the Z-S carb with 2 HIF's.
And a colleague described the change as going from a 4-wheel motorcycle
to a 4-wheel sportscar. (I couldn't describe the change any better.)
BUT if you want to replace your air pump with one that works, I'll sell
you mine...cheap.
