hey all, its been a while since ive visited! im joel and i have just bought my second 1200 project. my first was a Ute which is now owned by Ange and i can say he has done a great job with it. i need to change my log on name now though (1976_DATTO_UTE)

i bought a 71 1200 coupe, A14, flatop pistons, twin SU's, 4 speed, 2.5" exhaust etc.. very straight car with hardly anyrust.

CARBY CONCERNS!
the question i ask to you all is that im thinking of not putting the su's and just a 1200 carby but im not sure about the water jets on the block!
can anybody else help or suggest what carbie/webber they have on there A14. hope to hear from you all.

ill let you know about my new log in name
Cheers Joel

Is that a GX engine with those pistons/carbies etc? What are your project plans?

I've used both the stock A12 carb and a Weber 32/36 (DGV) on my A14. Unless you are going to spend most of your time above 5,000 I recommend the stock carb. It's smoother and gets better fuel economy.

Why don't you want to use the Hitachi dual sidedraft carbs?

haha knew you wouldnt stay away from datto's for long joel hehehe

post some pics up of your new beast!

told ya you would be back. :) good to hear

go the SU's

ive had stock, 32/36, twin SU and twin webber on various a-series, either the 32/36 or twin SUs are best bang for buck for sure

for just around town and occasional highway use (not a racer for the streets) just go the stock carb with a decent air iler or cold air feed. An a14 in these things is spritely enough for around town, or stick a webber on as the a14 does like to rev a bit.
