Robert,
Thank you for your reply.
I have used both 1 1/4” and 1 1/8” SU’s along with a Jack French camshaft/large rad tappets but my car had a 5.125 axle and 19” wheels at the time and where I live in Sheffield and running around the Peak District it was awful to drive. No guts in top gear below 3000rev/min. That setup ended on the way back from the Coast to Coast in 1998 when the crank let go in a big way,turning the camshaft into a Z shape. Now have 5.25 axle and standard camshaft/large rad tappets and I gave up with experimenting with SU carbs and used a Zenith Downdraught.

Cheers,
Dave
