hey shirl don't be too shy about the dellortos they are a great way to go, as far as a dyno tune up goes, not needed, as long as you can find someone to tune them for you like an old mechanic you shouldn't have any problems. I'm getting a mate to tune mine for me, he's tuning them to each cylinder seperately.

my only concern is that i've read somewhere that i may need a bigger fuel pump, i'm pretty sure i have the stock A15 fuel pump on my A15.
cheers ty

Hey mate, its a 1200 coupe with an a12 bored out to 1397cc with electronic ignition and a haltech. It has an option 1 dogleg fivespeed with straight cut gears and a h165. The 5 spds are great but cost an arm and a leg. cheers

May I ask what you have on the rally car ? It's a 1600 ??
My 120y (Shirley) could do with a transplant and I like the idea of a 1600. I need a gearbox aswell and i don't know if i should go to a 4 or 5 speed

Or you could get a pair of sidedraught SU's or Hitachis. They make good power and are easy to tune. good luck

Butt in any time!
. I've spoken to my mechanic today and he tells me that they are a whole lot of work to set up properly, ie they must be tuned on a dyno etc, so i think I'll either stay stock standard or look at a downdraught . That's his advice anyhow.
I am however now on the hunt for 180 sss coup pre '76

I'm getting a pair of fully reconditioned dellortos for $300 they are 45's apparently but are jetting at 42 i don't know, i'm not too sure about the whole thing will they fit my A15? lumpy cam and extractors, i'm getting the inlet manifold from work. please help.

p.s sorry for taking over your post shirl.
cheers ty

i sold a pair of them for $250 not long ago

lol would i rip someone off?

Its just I've been offered $150 for it with the L-series manifold, and the manifolds alone arent worth that much.
meh if shirley wants to buy it thats cool, otherwise it'll stay sitting in the shed

tyrie you ol ripoff merchant! I have a ramflo air filter assembly you can have since I have changed to ram tube and sock filters, I don't know if the ramflo filter assembly will fit the 45's though as mine are 40's.
But any how the offer is on the table all you need to pay is postage and it's yours
I actually have two kits for twin sidedraughts which may be useful if you want to go with twin sidies later on

I just went and pulled the dellorto out, its got a baseplate for a ramflow type filter, and a bit of linkage. Its got 34mm chokes, I'll let someone else tell you if thats OK for an a12, I have no idea.

btw its not that generous, I paid $50
