Re: Marty's GA Build

The issue with the GAs is that their g/box cross member bolts inboard of the chassis rails. The GBs bolt up through the rails. So if you can find a GB cross member, you can drill through the rails, add crush tubes and bolt up :) Welding to rails is forbidden where I'm from, so you cant just extend t...

This is commendable work.
Great to see another GA being loved :)
Wish I had your welding abilities :$
How are you going with relocating the gearbox cross-mount?
Have you had to shift it rearward?
Look forward to updates :P

Re: Datsun drivers think they are so cool!

YAY :) Another GA :)
Welcome to the site
You can indeed put GH Sigma struts in your GA, but, without further info on other modifications, I wouldn't say you NEED them.
Being a 1300 - do you have drums up front?
Cheers

Re: Scorpion GH

On the fuel supply side of things, has your tank been sitting for a while? If so, take it out and get it flushed properly.
Replace your fuel lines. Check your carb for crud in the bowl and jets.

Re: Newbie twin carb question

Always happy to see another 4G32 build :)
2 things to know (imho):
Balance it
Don't go too strong on the valve springs - these heads are getting rare.
Keep us in the loop :)

Agreed - 40DCOE for rallying
But tuning will cost $$
Get your engine sorted first, then add carb(s)

Re: Tuning twin solex downs

I agree with above - if you want the mixture correct you need to measure it.
But if all you want to do is Balance the 2 carbs, then ballancing by ear is, imho, a great way to do it.
At least, it works best for me.
But you need to know what you are listening to/for.
