[6pack] DUAL WEBER 45 MCHH TRIUMPH CONVERSION KIT

[Ted Schumacher]

All this carb talk made me go dig out the formula for needed.CFM.  But, 
before that, stop and think of the reason Stromberg's were used here as 
emission carbs.Even though you, supposedly, can adjust the carb, 
adjustment is so small the the value is more psychological than usable. 
The Stromberg is basically a non-adjustable carb which made it ideal for 
the federally mandated emission laws."If you can't adjust it, you can't 
defeat it" to get around the emission requirements.  At least SU's can 
be adjusted, have a huge variety of needles and 4 easily changeable main 
jets.  So, in the case of the Stromberg's. "if you can't tune 2, how do 
you tune 3"?  Now, the formula. CFM = engine displacement x desired revs 
divided by 3456.  So if you have 155 cid TR6 engine and want to make max 
power at 6000 rpm, you need to flow 269 CFM of air. (155cid x 6000 = 
930000.00 divided 3456.00 = 269.10).  Have a good Memorial Day. Ted
