I have made the acquaintance of a guy who has been mentioned here more than a few times. Keith Franck knows an amazing amount of information about the Weber side-draft DCOE carbs, and has invented and manufactured a number of innovations. Just last weekend, he had a 'tuning day' for Lotus owners who's cars use Weber side-draft carbs. He offered to include us Datsun peeps but it was really too late to set this up.

I am wondering if we have enough people who would attend a Tuning Day for us Datsun guys with Webers?

I have a friend with a restoration shop who would be willing to host in Sonoma CA... (Keith lives in the Martinez area).

We could have a BBQ and maybe even a drive, the roads through Napa and Sonoma are amazing!

Sound off if you're interested...

I'm totally in, that would be awesome!!!

Damn! I would but I'm on the other end of the nation............

I'm a new owner of triple 151s... and i'm interested. I'm in alameda and would love to trek up north

I'm actually still trying to perfect my linkage, however tuning advice and help would be amazing!

Damn! I would but I'm on the other end of the nation............

And Mitchell, you are one of the people I would love to see there. I am thinking we could film it and make it a Youtube Video?

I'm in if i dont get discriminated against for having DGV's

I'd make the trip as well. Please do this!

Kurbycar32, I am not sure Keith is an expert on DGV's but you're welcome to show up...

Not fair, I would love to come to this!!!

wish he could make a trip to texas

I think that is enough interest. I will talk to Keith Franck and see if I can make this happen soon. The shop it will take place at is called Original Customs in Sonoma CA. It is a restoration shop that does a lot of Porsche work but has done some Datsun work. In fact, there is a 280Z in the shop right now. He is a master welder and fabricator and builds cages as well.

Mark, the owner would prefer a Sunday as his shop week starts on Sunday and is closed on Saturday. We can have a BBQ, but we will have to organize that ourselves.

For those of you who are not aware, Keith makes the fuel level tool and hypojets. If he can't help you tune your carbs, your carbs are probably not the problem...
