Took the twins off, as they really needed re-jetting , so I decided to sell them,
I'll stick with the 1 3/4 hif carb for now.... Also had to fit a new manifold gasket.

i adore this car and this thread!!!

hif44 is better than twins im my opinion... youll find yourself constantly adjusting twins trying to get them both right...

keep on truckin!
