Re: Converting B30E to B30A 160 74

ICQ>

I have a 74 B30E in my 71 164, the conversion was not that hard to SU-HS6 it was finding a good pair. I plugged the F.I. ports with soft plugs and JB weld and stuffed a few bolts with JB on the end's for the extra holes. I put a inline fuel regulator in and set it for 3lbs, big mistake after several set's of plug's and points I have settled on 1lb it is great! The other thing to do is take the butterfly's out of the Stromberg manifold and plug them, the SU's also need a set of springs for the butterfly's to snap shut, attached to the manifold. I used the old fuel pump off of my 71engine. And walla you are done except for the carb sync. tool you will need to sync. the draw of each carb. I am now trying to find out if a 74's gearing would make my 71 faster to accelerate,do you know any info that might help?

Good Luck,and let me know if you need help along the way.

Tim.
