<VV> S U Carb to replace YH

[J. R. Read]

Nick,  I received the following back from a friend who has the SU on his 
Spyder.  He bought it that way.  You might find something in his response 
which would be helpful.  If you wish to ask questions directly or possibly 
get pictures, I'm sure that he would do that off the VV list.  If you want 
the email address privately, let me know.

PASTE:

Hi JR, yeah, I guess so, but I have no additional info to give him other 
than it was already engineered and done when i bought the car back in 1998 
(do you believe that date) and all the details are in the Corsa Tech guide 
in an article, How to install an SU on a Turbo, by Peter Jacobs, who did the 
setup along with the whole restoration of the car. I have never even had to 
rebuild the carb, it still works as it did when I bought the car. Thats 
pretty good for reliability I think. I have considered doing the same thing 
to the Spyder but the Holley Weber thats on there also works seemingly 
forever, so I have not really tried to reverse engineer it. You can pass 
this on to him if you want but I have done nothing but enjoy the result of 
Peter Jacobs work. I would love to take credit for this butI cant. D

END PASTE

Later, JR
