I completed the conversion today thanks to your kit, it runs way better than it ever did with the solex on it, setting up the fuel system was probably the hardest part.
This is beautiful! I just picked up an all original 3A and am currently going thru it and taking care of the little issues it has. This is now on my radar! Great channel! Subbed!
You can add a bigger carb but the WO will flow plenty of air for a 134 cid flat head up to 4,000 rpm. Not much more power beyond 3,000. The hot manifold helps atomize the fuel like that 'V' thing when cold. If the heat control valve isn't seized it shouldn't be an issue once it warms up. Probably don't need it with the Sniper. That linkage is beautiful. Where did the PCV go?
I didn't feel any power improvement, but the overall easy driveability is beyond comparison to the carb. Just saw you ordered a kit today. Thanks for the support!
@@TurnNBurn we do a lot of snipers on our Land Cruiser 2f builds do notice slight amount of a stronger pull on those. I look forward to putting it on my already perfect running Willys
Can you separate the inlet and exhaust manifolds by careful application of an angle grinder or hacksaw? This is a trick we used to do on the old BMC A Series engine (classic Mini) to stop the inlet heating up so badly.
The manifolds are already split, but they share the same 2 mounting bolts. So half the bolt covers the intake, half on exhaust. Most of the heat likely comes from where they're bolted together at the heat riser.
