Mike,
Thanks for this information.
I received a BDK needle from Joe Curto today, and my Sprite is running great
with it.
I haven't pulled the plugs- that's the next step.
But now the car runs fast and smooth through all the gears.
Next job is reducing the height of the HIF44. The piston damper has a high
bulge that's rubbing against the bonnet.
I got a flat damper, without the bulge, from Joe; I'll try that tomorrow.
Thanks,
Ray

John,
Ralph at APT looked up my receipt for the carb work and it said that a
BDK needle was installed, but the carb was also modified to "act" as the next
size up. An epoxy ramp was built up in the bottom of the intake and a few
other things done to increase air flow. Ralph also reminded me that the BDK
needle is something that was recommended by David Anton as a starting point
until the engine was broken in and a dyno run could be made to fine tune it.
Hope this helps.
Mike
