Some kind of parade today in PNG? The 1000 looks tough.

Thank you and yes there was a parade. We're celebrating 40years of PNG and yesterday was also 21 years since the twin 1994 eruptions, which destroyed the town.

Such a cool little thou!!!

for a second I thought you went bozosoku png style exhausts!

Thanks man! I rarely drive it. It has had a pretty good paint job too all done at home/work. Roads are #OOPS# here so it doesn't see much of the street unfortunately.

I am still tidying up the interior and have since switched back to carburettors (I prefer carbs). I run a modified A15 with round port head, yes, round port. Never have I had an A-series with such awesome off the mark acceleration, truly impressed and like it (almost?) more than the EFI setup which performed better through mid range and upper revs (oval port head).

I think the round port has a lot more to offer for street engines.

Interesting you say that, I recently just found a H10 head in my parts bin.

I was planning on running a H89 head with ITBs on an A15 which I'm planning on building in the future. Would you say the carbed H10 would be the way you'd go seeing as it sounds like you had the same choice?

The 1000 looks great by the way!

Looks great Chris, I still want another 2 Door sedan one day...

Where did the quads and extractors end up?

I think a H89 with ITB's would definitely out perform round-port carb overall but I am definite that the off the mark power is better with the round port head. I have the H99 round port. Basically a dry, round port H89.

Leigh I have the ITB's and exhaust here with me still. I have another A15 on the bench which will use the ITB's I and trying some different things and in the mean time and enjoying the carbs. Have you still got that wagon?!

Generally speaking:
* round port makes more HP under 4,000 (under 3500 for A15)
* oval port makes more HP over 4,000 RPM
* H10 (small valves) makes less power than H99 (large valves)
