SU carb nozzle

Featured Replies

I was trying to locate the source of an annoying imbalance in my carbs and found the problem. For reasons I do not understand, one of my nozzles was " customized " by shortening it 1/4".

Does anyone have or know where I can purchase one factory spec nozzle, new or good used, for a REASONABLE price ?

The carbs are in excellent shape otherwise, and appear to be original to the car. They have three screws holding down the vacuum chamber, and the float bowls have a drain plug. The entire engine is completely stock. The car itself has a late 1972 build date.

Thank you in advance;

Ted.

We have nozzles. I would suggest you buy a pair as they will be of known & equal condition.

As long as the plastic head is not damaged that's what we re-use. We don't care about the condiition of the brass nozzle tube itself.

I would consider the core worthless since the brass jet has been epoxied into the plastic base.

I am really just looking to replace the one nozzle with a good, used unit as everything else is really in quite remarkable condition. If it ain't broke...

Thanks;

Ted.
