Sidedraft260

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate all the input. After doing some research, I believe these Strombergs came off of a 2.3L Triumph or Volvo. Either way, they're not right for my application, so I'm taking them back. I didn't even think about the needle / jet sizing. If for no other reason, they probably won't work well because of that. I didn't even think about it, because every car I've owned before now has been F/I. Thanks again guys

Thanks...I appreciate the advice

So, are they crap compared to the SU's, or simply no better than what I've already got? Reason I ask is they look pretty clean, and I only paid $40 for the set. It would cost me that much just for the Flat top overhaul kit. Thanks for the quick response...

Ok, I've got an early '74 260Z, stock, with the dreaded flat-top Hitachis. They've been sitting forever, so they're gummed up and don't really even work. I went to a local salvage yard, and asked if they had any Datsun carbs, and the guy gives me a pair of carbs, with manifold, that (being the newbie I am) I thought were round tops. It turns out that they are actually Stromberg 175 CD-2 SE carbs, mounted on what looks like a Datsun intake manifold, although I've yet to be able to verify that 100%. My question is, how do these Strombergs compare to the SU's, either flat or round top? Should I even mess with them, or should I take them back to the guy and tell them they're not the right carbs for my car? Will they even work? Any help on this would be GREATLY appreciated....
