Dual Kadrons and a 019 distributor.
Or if you can find a vintage dual carb setup and a 019.

Well, back in the late '70s we used a Zenith 32NDIX and an 010 Dist. on a 1385 cc in Funco buggy with great success. Today I would be tempted to try a Weber DFAV/EV progressive if you can find a manifold for it. I would try to use it with SVDA distrib if you can get the vacuum signal correct. |

a big bore 40hp with those and the sonic/lukey exhaust is going to make for an awesome Australian period performance motor. love it. |

Apologies. I actually had a 122.5 in the 28 PICT. Not a 125. Noticed this weekend that it was runnimg a little hot in 100 degree weather. Could not hold the dipstick. Put a 127.5 in and it is running very well and I can easily now hold the dipstick after a hard run. May go back to a 125 later if I see I'm running too rich. |

That's a very nice set-up for 40hp, carb orientation, linkage, air filters. Can you tell more about it? I don't think I have ever seen Kads on 40hp heads. _________________ Jack Staggs

I am running a big jet in my 1200 big bore with a 28PICT1. Pretty sure its a 127.5 main and this was dialed in on a chassis dyno. Works very well. I do have the compression around 8.1 or 8.2 (without running down to check my build notes). 019 distributor is timed at either 28 or 30 max. _________________ D-Dubya Manx clone - 63 Short pan,1914.

They're not Kads, some old school German setup. _________________ Glenn
