Posted April 2, 201014 yr comment_314688 What's the difference? My '72 currently has 3-screw SU's on its L28, and the second engine I have (F54/P90) has 4-screw SU's on it. Oh, and I'm referring to the number of screws holding the domes in place.

April 3, 201014 yr comment_314763 How about this one?The dealership replaced my flat tops with new round tops in 1980. After learning what these carbs are, I noticed mine has a 4 screw for the front and a 3 screw for the back. They work fine, just odd.Bonzi Lon Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/35308-3-screw-su-vs-4-screw-su/#findComment-314763 Share on other sites More sharing options...

April 3, 201014 yr comment_314781 Their isn't much difference from what I heard about the 3 or the 4 screw carbs, other than the screw patterns. I don't know but I'd bet you could use the pistons in the dash-pots interchangeably and a lot of other parts, I bet Bruce would know if that was the case.
