Posted July 20, 20177 yr comment_526185 My engine has been modified to 2.6L with oversized pistons and Schneider 274F. I guess i forgot to tell Bruce Palmer of Ztherapy this fact and at the moment of refurbishing the 3 screws roundtop su carbs he placed a pair of SM needles. Isnt it better to use another type of needle when having a modified and engine and a non stock camshaft? If so, which model?

July 20, 20177 yr comment_526187 Start by asking Bruce or Z Therapy -- they have some idea of what to do. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/58167-sm-needles-or-other-type-for-3-screws-su-carbs/#findComment-526187 Share on other sites More sharing options...

July 29, 20177 yr comment_526974 I had Z Therapy rebuild my SU's for my 5/71 Z. They have the SM needles. I'm at 5,460ft in elevation so they are a bit rich at low rpm's, but fine otherwise. The camshaft is a DeLong that FAR Performance installed back in '72. Specs are similar to the Schneider. At that time FAR also installed SM needles.Sent from my K88 using Classic Zcar Club mobile Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/58167-sm-needles-or-other-type-for-3-screws-su-carbs/#findComment-526974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
