Hey
In this club there are alot of people with alot of different engines in their 1200's.
Different guys have different views on what the best engine is, or wether to turbo or suprcharge their car...
But I think that almost everyone in the group would agree that the stock hitachi carb in the 1200 is a pile of crap.
Go have a look in the tech section on the site there are some ideas for you there.
I think that most people will go out and find a 32/36 Weber carb (Holley 5200) found on lots of vehicles.
Just an adapter plate and some jetting adjustments (plus a few other little things) and you are away.
Hope you have fun doing what your going to do,
Hey try updating your profile so we can all see where you are located, then different guys from different places can help you out.
Have fun
