I got the Black Dragon 89-300 Monza pipe and stuck the tip on today. It sounds good and throaty. The pipe they send is larger diameter than the stock one, so I had to wrap the stock pipe a bit to get...

I don't have webbers, but I do have these....

Exactly. I'm trying to find the gremlins that are making my car run poorly.

I took the pipe from the brake booster off of the intake manifold and sucked on it. I couldn't make a vacuum, and I could hear the inline valve fluttering. Is my booster leaking, or is it suppose to...

I'm good at tuning them and have a Unisyn, 3 Colortunes, vacuum gauges and everything. I just need to get the floats set right first, or I'll never get it to start and accelerate well. I have a...

I suspect the same, its too lean.

I have the 4 screw dome top SU's.

hmmm, looks like the dimension(s) and gauge take the cap lip into account. Thanks.

.5" equals 12.70 mm, which isn't used according to the chart ???

I think I need use 12mm (R) and 16mm (F).

I'm assuming that the dimensions shown in the chart works for the spring load type of needle valves I have and is not specific to the solid type (if Datsun ever used those) ????

I'm going to try adjusting the floats and some other bits and see if I still have the problem. If so, I'll temporarily hook up an electronic pump and see if that fixes the problem. Thanks for the...

This is just what I needed! I just need to figure out which carbs I have and then make some gauges. It even adjusts for the short and long float legs which I have. Thanks!!!

That may work for one of the carbs, but I have the float lids that have different length legs for holding the floats, so the dimensions would need to be different for the front and rear carbs. I may...

Because I'm having starting issues as well as some power/performance problems, so I'm going through several things to make sure they haven't been jacked around at some point in the last 36 years....

OK, I searched the archives and didn't find much that helped me, so I'm asking here in hopes ya'll can.

I want to check and/or adjust my float levels on my 72. The three manuals I have are pretty...

Did it have the same problems prior to your Pertronix install?[/QUOTE]

Yes, it did. I should check the float level again, but it's almost like the mechanical fuel pump doesn't put out enough at...

My car tends to buck and pop when I try and start it.

In the morning I pull the choke on full, turn the engine over and when it finally fires it sound like it's only running on one carb, then the...

Thats what I bought, it should be here this week!

I started out needing some new tires and wheels, got those installed then ordered a pertronix and the 89-300 exhaust. Started it yesterday and it...

That's what I discovered this morning. They'ed sell more if they did, but hey, it's their business.

I ordered the whole thing and plan to just put the pipe away for now.

Thanks all.

Well, I found what I wanted on the Black Dragon site, it part number 89-300

Really all I want is the tip and Pace Setter won't sell it...

Hi again,

Thanks for the help guys,

I'll check out the Monza and Pacesetter exhaust systems and see if anything looks good. I do like the classic over/under Ansa tip look, you'd think there...

I'd like to replace the stock muffler with a over/under twin tip similar to the old Ansa design. Does anyone carry such a thing anymore ? If so, who ? If not, what other popular options are there ?...

I found a guy near me that has a set of the polished rims I want with caps and lugs for $200, so I'm getting them ASAP!

I talked to my local Discount Tire guy and he has Michelin Destiny's for...

What size do you suggest for the 14"X6" rims ?

It's a fair weather car and I don't push it very hard so general performance summer tires are OK.

Be careful, some of those lugs in the picture have flat tops not domes, and many others are rusted ! Look at the ones in the lower left hand corner you can clearly see the flat top. If I were you I'd...

OK I found a nice polished set on CL and intend to buy them this weekend.

My next question is what make/model/size tires would be a good selection ?

They only need to be summer tires and I...
