[Fot] torque rods

[Jack W. Drews]

(Opinion) I think torque rods are a good thing for cars with Webers, 
but not cars with SU's. Whenever I'm asked to help find the problem 
of an SU equipped car that is breaking up at around 5000 rpm, the 
first thing I check is to see how tightly the engine is tied don. If 
it can't move a little bit, the natural four banger vibration is 
transferred to the carbs and causes foaming and irregular fuel 
supply. Joe's torque arm is probably the best solution for SU or 
Stromberg cars. Of course all this can be alleviated by using soft 
mounts for the carbs.
