Yeah, sorry I couldn't help you out with the RH needles. Good luck with the tinkering, and keep us posted! Short story for the rest of the forum... I went looking for my RH needles that I thought I had and only came up with just ONE instead of two. Not much help there!

March 4, 20196 yr comment_570050 It looks like a little off station one for SM, SB, RH will give a richer idle if needed.

March 20, 20196 yr Author comment_571432 I installed a set of RH needles and they ran lean (16 to 17 APR) on WOT on numerous test runs. Went back to SB needles. There are a few rich spots on the SB needles (cruise is around 13.5), so dropped the needle shoulder down so even with bottom of piston. This kept the WOT numbers on target (13 to 13.5) and the cruise numbers are closer to 14. Will test further, but pleased so far!Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/61679-sb-needles-to-resolve-lean-wot-with-sus/?&page=4#findComment-571432 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 20, 20196 yr comment_571447 If the idle and cruise are good with the RH then you could taper stations 6 to 14 to make a sweet custom needle!
