hi,
is there another carb which could be used on a superminx with 1500 engine?
fitted with zenith at moment.

cheers chris.

My dad ran a twin choke webber on his 1600 Singer Vogue back in the day.
Can't imagine the manifolds are easy to come by though

This looks to be for twin SU's

This is for a webber, but eek!

34 ich weber from a landy, providing your manifold has the later wider manifold stud spacing. it should be approx 65mm as opposed to the earlier 60mm. the last one I played with didnt so he had to change the manifold too- the rest of the manifold is identical, and the same as a 1725 one too.

my commer had the same carb fitted, bought brand new at great expense from speedyspares by the previous owner, just before i bought the van. it ran really well with it on.

If its an Iron head then I guess a manifold like my Minx's with a single Stromberg CD150 would go on but might well need exhaust matching up.

Also, I have seen little elbow adapters to bolt to down draught manifolds to allow fitment of an SU so that would be another possibility.

thanks guys,
ouch on that weber manifold!!!!
like the idea of ich dez, will have a measure.
your correct seth, would need to change exhaust manifold.

cheers chris.
