So I just received my new SK float level sight tube, costly but very nicely made, apparently it can be used on Webers and Solex carbs as well. All of my fuel levels were 2-4mm too low.

Do you set ii into the jet well or do you have to thread it all the way down? It appears that you cover the hole on the top of tool and then check the fuel level trapped by the vacuum. Is that correct?

you just place it in the hole, put your finger over the breather hole on top and pull it out and read it.

Very cool. Nice, simple and repeatable I like that.

My friend is making these awesome looking heat shields, im getting one too. They look nice and shiny + they are affordable. If you guys are interested, you can contact him directly to zaanou@gmail.com

I am interested....how much?

Can he put a thermal brake between the bolt holes and the rest of the sheet?

Umm im not sure what you mean (lost in translation) but price for these babies should be around 80 bucks + postage. Thats what i call cheap!

Thanks!

Anything bolted to the head transfers heat. That is why carbs have insulators.

A heat shield would work better if it was not directly bolted to the head. Thermal insulators would help a lot in the design.

These guys are great! ƒLƒƒƒuƒŒƒ^[,ƒCƒ“ƒWƒFƒNƒVƒ‡ƒ“,ƒGƒAƒNƒŠ[ƒi[[OER:ƒI[ƒC[ƒA[ƒ‹]ƒLƒƒƒuƒŒƒ^[

They rushed my shipment of parts and also included a present of some special parts and some they thought I missed ordering:

The special O-rings for the well towers, return springs and well tower screws!

I highly recommend this company and SK Racing/OER carbs!

Chris..got your gaskets and O-rings!

I also did order from them, most pleasant customer service. Not directly related to SK-carbs but kinda: I wonder do you guys have any pics/hints how to handle block breather? Do you put k/n filter on there or? I heard some guys have made special "jar" or container that collects the overflowing oil/exhaust material.

edit. they send me full list of parts what i need for the linkage! yay.

It's called a Snot can, Allstar Performance - racing and high performance car parts, accessories and specialty tools.

it catches oil and lets smoke and water vapour escape, but I'm not sure if our blocks breathe in or out.

I tie-wrapped a couple of layers of bug screen over mine and it seems to be fine.

As far as i know, it breathes out, and in SU's the vapors are delivered back to the intake manifold. It takes fresh air in from the valve cover, as you know.
