carb problem fixed

I got tired of my nikki carb secondaries stiking so I just got rid of it. I put a Mikuni sidedraft with a Holley blue f/p. While I was at it I slapped a RB exhaust on it as well. Wow what a difference it makes. I just have to get a fuel pressure guage to fine tune it.

I'm going to try 4.5psi and maybe adjust the timing a bit as well. I've got a cheapy chrome adjustable regulator on it now but the one hat Holley includes with the pump is waiting if I need better control.

Glad to see someone else has the same thinking process.

I was going to do it sometime anyway, so why not now. Now when this carb starts acting up I'll have to get the supercharger setup for it.
