Can't reply to the other thread on this Q, it locks me out.... :evil:

Try either CP4 needles, or #6. We're using the 6s on my wife's car now, which is very similar specs-
1293cc, twin HS4s, Tighe 104 cam, Corolla rockers, rimflow valves, Perry 3-1 freeflow exhaust, Lukey muffler. C/R is about 9.4:1.
Air filters are Ramflos, with UniFilter oiled foam pads.

A/F ratio is spot on all the way up. :wink:

<edit> it was too rich just coming off idle, so we put ATF in the dampers and it's OK.

I think so but they were Hitachi SUs.. not identical to the real deal.

They were from a 260Z and are ISO brand.
They look very similar except they have four bolts to hold the Dash Pot down and four bolts on the top of the float bowl.
I have had to modify them by fitting 3 screw dash pots from a genuine SU as original ones were pitted on the piston and shaft. I did this by using one of the existing threads and tapping 2 new ones. Also the float bowls have rubber mounts around the shaft that holds them onto the carby to stop some of the shock from traveling into the bowl.
