Al,
RE: " I've been told I could use SU carbs, so it could
breath better."
SU's are neat carbs, they offer simplicity, easy
tuning, easy rebuids, and a tremendous variety of
available needles with which to experiment. However,
an HS6 SU and a CD175 Stromberg are both 1 3/4"
carbs, and the breathing differences are not significant.
If you want a cost-effective improvement, you'd have to
consider HS8 SU's (2" bore). I'm not sure if that's what
you meant?
I suggest sticking with the Strombergs and
getting a set of richer B2Y needles, provided the rest of
the carb is in good order.
Best Regards,
Tom Marincic
