grose jets

[tfbrown]

Hi.I just had a pair of grose jets delivered to my door from Victoria British...I am putting them in my 73 Z with 72 carbs....problem is there are NO instrucrtions...one is marked long, the other short...I can't see or measure a differance (with micrometer)...I have Scott's video and it only makes passing referance to it....help..... I put the short in the rear carb, the one with the shorter tang on the float bowl cover...I used the supplied various fiber washers to set the grose jet as close to the original height below the cover as the original and then bent the float tang to get 00.55 inches to fuel shut off.........

its still weeks before the carbs go back on the car...did I do it right or should I tear ity all apart to do it differantly???

RSVP..

Thanks in advance

Whoa!! Both needles should be the same. I'm suspicious about those needles. If you want a good resource for needles (and someone who knows what they are talking about) then call Les or Dennis at Classicdatsun.

My Z is similar to your 73` with 72 carbs. If you can, check out my rebuild carb question. Regards, MikeT73.

Hey Tim: I bought a set from ZTherapy.com & they are both the same, but Scott sent instructions and some washers to use one a a short. Try to contact Scott and ask him for sure, but I seem to rember tha the short went on the rear carb. I'll try to find the instructions to confirm (if I still have them.)
