New toys for the 302

[simon]

OK OK, it's not in a Cobra, but I'm just so dead chuffed with them I had to share...

[Happy Jim]

Soooooo much nicer than injection, looks fast already :-}

Lovely, lovely.

I hope you have the necessary phD for setting them up??

They can be a tad tricky, often give an "on" or "off" response, but for a high winding race engine, little to touch them.

I'm sure they're going to be a pain to set up, but I've been told there's nothing to touch them, effectivly giving you one carb for each cylinder. I've got a lumpy cam and solid lifters in the engine (which IDF's are supposed to love) But apart from anything else they just look soooo good through the back window :-}

[Miket]

Yes they look superb, but bloody hard to set up and apparantly make the car very difficult to drive under normal road conditions, great on a track when you have the revs up.

Good luck :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

I had afriend who had ida,s on a 302, they found him hangin in a tree! throw them away get yourself an edelbrok! preetiest(is that how you spell it) of all the carbs an so god damn easy to set up and fookin relyable. oooohps reliable to set up!!

[simon]

These are IDF's, MUCH more streetable than IDA's. After the initial setting they should stay in tune nicely. When they are correctly set up, they give a very smooth tickover and pull very cleanly with a useful increase in torque (and possibly BHP) They would be a bit of an overkill on a standard 302, but mine has had LOTS of work already, so they should top it off nicely.

Come back when you have had them on for a few weeks, I'm not speaking from experience, only here say from a guy who had them fitted to a race car.

Good luck, hope you got a deep pocket

idf's ida's i sorry mate but how you gona get them through next years mot.? if you already got set up for sva then ok if fresh car then hmmmmmmm thats a difficult one unless you got brother in law at sva test station. yes i know they look fookin brill and would on anything from cobra to bda escort( remember them) but lets be practical. you gona spend every weekend tuning the buggers up especially if they like the old 45 side draughts.

SWEEEET :-} I'm sure Simon's already considered the implications of Set Up/Tuning Good Luck with them :thumb:
