Slant 6 4bbl Carb Selection

yeah i'll admit the webers are hard work... most of the issues however are float level and ignition. its a 6, its an inherently smooth running engine, so the float level can be 1-2mm higher. the low standard setting is for wobbly vibration prone 4 cylinder motors.
You don't need the rubber mounting. card gasket, direct bolt down..... just saved you months of messing with that advice :)

you buy them configured with a "best guess" for your combo
it doesn't work well enough.... it never does.. flat spots and popping

and instead of balancing the carbs, adjusting timing and getting a decent ignition system, and a minor tweak to idle mixture you fiddle about with the jets and air correctors and venturis for a few years

eventually you end up back where you started with the carb calibration, but only once you get the ignition and curve sorted... and suddenly all is well with the world.



Triple SU

nearly as good: 3 X SU- HS6 would do the job UK ebay, see what you find. new ones cost a fortune but those off 3500 cc rover are reasonable cost second hand
being close to a british car specialist would pay dividends if you choose this route

TRIPLE 1 3/4" SU SLANT 6

less top end with SU but they are great carbs.... japanese dash-pot style carbs are also good
