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...

Thanks for coming Leon. I will be switching to your ignition system as soon as you PM me with parts list and a starting timing map! 8P I can't wait!

Thanks for the reminder!

Rainman, Keith is already commenting on Sidedraft-Central about getting ahold of some Mikunis from Bill and 3D mapping and designing solutions for them. I have mixed feelings on this as Bill is already too fast to catch. Not sure I want his car running better... :disappoin

Sounds like I'd better get signed up at Sidedraft-Central.. Sorry that your main competition will benefit. Will watch for Keith on Sidedraft-Central..

Oh I'm not concerned about catching Bill. That's just garage bullsh*t. He's a very good friend. Not my competition. 8)

Hello Rob and team,

Unfortunately i was out of the country when this session went down, but I'll definitely attempt the second session. Keep us updated please!

Thanks

Cat

Will do, both Keith and the host location restoration shop Original Customs are onboard. I just need to pick a date and post it...

Nice! I'd be down to go again.

You'd be 'teaching' Leon. As you recall, Keith gets overwhelmed in groups larger than 6-12. But you would definitely be an asset!

Not a problem!

Seems like Keith is one-upping himself with the e-tubes. Looks like he's close to developing a newer, better version. The next tuning day could be a great chance to check it out.

Hi all,

If you guys decide to have another tuning event with Keith Franck I'd like to know about it...

I'm in SoCal but would consider coming up to NorCal...

I actually just posted for the first time on sidedraft central about some mystery 44PHH jet bodies I'm wondering about...

Wow, that would be quite a trek! Hopefully we can set something up in the spring. Any plans, Rob?

Not yet but if you have any ideas, I'm open to them. Actually, the way Keith has been experimenting lately, we will have some new things to try ourselves!

That's what I'm hoping for!

Is Mark still up for hosting? It would be wise to time it so that we can try out Keith's new innovations once he's got them figured out.
