On a 1980 MGB with a stromberg 175, emissions deleted:
I'm fitting a high-flow air filter. At low RPM, the car really wakes up (amazingly so); throttle response is great, power is good.
Of course, at 3000 rpm, it goes lean and power is flat.
Tried adjusting the needle to full rich.
Tried a TR6 needle
Timing is at 10 degrees
no vaccum leaks, carb & water choke are 100% functional
fuel pressure and flow are good.
Before I go drilling holes in the exhaust manifold for an o2 sensor to start playing with needle profiles, I wondered if anyone else had already found the needle that works when fitting a high-flow filter.
Question: what needle do I need?
