My Car Pics

[Colin Reed]

Hi James,
              Regarding the SU, I would be inclined to fit a Filter Sox they are made to fit over Flared ram tubes.
              My reasons for this are.
             ( ONE)  they keep the dust out
             ( TWO ) they reduce the Vacuum caused by having the intake of the carburettor at Right angles to the Air
                          Flow a long the side of the car.
             
              In the early 70s  F5000  and Canam  cars had the rams vertical and would not produce the same Hp in the
              car as on the Engine Dyno were the air was still hence the intakes above the drivers head now.
               feel Free to disregard if you think its B/S
Cheers Colin
