Hello Crankster and Bill OH,

That was a good one Crankster, :-)

I took the plunge and ordered an Autometer analog face AFR meter along with a SS tail pipe clamp for holding the O2 sensor. Let the fun begin when the tools arrive.

I apologize for my poor choice of words regarding second guessing Mikes work.

I was really just trying to express my complete confidence in Mikes work and therefore invest alll our efforts in the ancillary items.

I am very grateful for the continued dialog with everyone while working through this mystery.


Hello Bill OH,

Yes the vacuum port is currently occupied by a vacuum gauge. (Wipers are now electric)
The manifold is a new aluminum one with no name on it.
I am using one inch aluminum risers below the carbs. No difference when removed, they have been reinstalled.

Mike of H&H recommends Strombergs for his engines, but I am not certain which series he is selling 48’s or 97’s. He did say he would rejett the carbs with 48 jets if I ordered some from him.

I am partial to the look of the dual carbs, but the 2GC carb is certainly an option.

I have invested a bit of time and effort redoing the throttle linkage and associated mounts for these 94’s after my wife requested AC and a heater. But If I cannot make them work then Strombergs it will be.

Respectfully

Marc
