Hey Turboforce, just a heads up on the Koni's, make sure you take apart the lower shaft adjustment valving; bolt in the end out, adjustment tab unscrewed, spring, then screw the piston off the shaft, small washers and wavy washers too. The lower valving in the tube end needs to come apart too. That one really get clogged with many .024 diameter holes.  The solidified gunk gets in the very small orfices and has to be physically removed. I have done probably 75 Koni's and each one needed the valving cleaned or the adjustment feature will not work.

Thanks for the input Kram. I think I got all the crud out of the passages, I will check again before I reassemble them!

It's a great day when you start putting parts on the car rather than taking them off and cleaning them!!! Congratulations!!  :beerchug:

One day I’ll count the number of parts we recondition during a rebuild. Looking 👍.

I modified the upper front Koni spring perches with billet aluminum adjustable collars.
(They fit much better on the upper perch). I am using needle bearings between the springs and perches as suggested in " Autocross To Win". Coil springs can "twist" when they compress creating unwanted loads and the bearings will help prevent this. They also make adjustment easier as you eliminate the increasing friction between the perch and spring as you increase the preload. They will also help prevent the "twist" of the spring from trying to adjust your preload for you  :o

Turbo,  I saw this by chance on Facebook tonight.  A turbo with what looks like a 175 carb

Looks like an 1 3/4" HS type SU carb.  Might be 2".
