Sorry, a typo. I must have confused him with Louis XIV

I like your engines! ?

He is convicted accused of serious crimes and the evidence is quite strong. This bail jump adds one more charge to the heap. Perhaps now he can request a trial in a neutral country if he was honorable.

I like the non-Spinal Tap oil pressure gauge that only goes to "10"... perhaps Bo Derek would appreciate it.

Summer of 1972?

Nice. Did you weld up the bearing to kill the play?

Perhaps an alignment "pseudo-bearing": A 56mm machined disc with precision alignment hole drilled in centre (or a alignment machined pin) would remove bearing-slop-impairment. This could be turned on a lathe..... for all you lathe envy folks!

Thanks Alan!

Does anyone know when this photo was taken? I'm guessing some time in early 1970?

Max VA = power = Voltage * Current = 2.5V * 6000A = 15,000VA Max kVA= VA/1000 = 15kVA

Hi Kats, Merry Christmas! As Alan mentions, you can make nearly any size DCOE carb work with any engine due to their adjustable sub-componets, however; Weber does give recommendations for racing and street use. These are plotted below. In parallel, many engine tuners over the past decades have published recommended configurations for the street. They generally recommend 40mm and 42mm for street for 2.4 to 2.6 litre engines.... so for a two litre, 40mm would lean more to the higher side. According to the great DCOE tuner John Passini, he mentions in several publications that the transition from a small choke to a larger carb throat causes fuel to precipitate to the carb floor. For example going from 32mm choke to a 40mm carb throat has less fuel precipitation than going from 32mm throat to 45mm carb throat. Weber recommends that the ideal choke size for racing is ~ 80% of the diameter of the carb throat. So for a 45mm carb, a 36mm choke would be best. This is a very large choke for street driving and give poor low rpm performance. A lot of great data is at this site that Hoover and I love.. they use 82% ratio for Solex: http://www.carry-back.com/CARRY BACK Carbu setting 2.htm

You can make them work but 40mm is better. I have 55's but no motor for them.

Magazine with coverage of Jan Montreal Car Show and a photo of HLS30-00006

The Gazette Jan 16 1970 Montreal Video from car show (No Datsun coverage) but a few "crushers" https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1078861/salon-auto-montreal-voiture-19970-archives https://fr-ca.facebook.com/ArchivesRadioCanada/videos/prenez-le-volant-21-janvier-1970/10156199360856052/

44mm is a big carb for a 2litre engine.

New NAFTA Sucks. We do not have much manufacturing in this province. The largest employer in this area would be the 3 Michelin tire plants. They are about to announce moving one to Mexico with the New NAFTA deal.

Photo from the early 70's in a city near where I live. Similar side decal like yours. Very vintage.

Work looks great as always!

Used gaskets. I have one in my garage I'll measure tomorrow. It is a felpro,

Here are Felpro and Nissan HG thickness's measured by reliable Z experts: 1.2mm seems to be average with 1.14mm being minimum.

Use hot glue to hold wire in place. You can run a new wire along the top of the trace if you want a simple fix by connecting the pins at the end of the trace. I think there are 510 spares in the Z garage... pester me in spring when it is open again.
