It's good to see it when someone joins the forum and start off with a joke.

Blue-Ze, good luck with the sale, they look clean. You may want to consider lowering the price a bit because I've noticed a freshly rebuilt set is around $950 USD.

Yes, they are Hitachi's, a lot of people mistake them as they look alike.

I've got a nice story about those! Our King had his own garage with at the head a master technician.. That technician Jan de J. came one day at 93! to me to buy a ReVox Tapemachine and saw the 240z standing on the driveway.. As he said that's a nice car i asked if he wanted to see the engine, offcourse he reacted and i showed him what's under the hood..

He pointed at the carbs and he said AH.. 2 BIG SU's that's nice and i had to correct him.. No i said these are improved SU's! They are Hitachi HJG46W! Also called roundheads.. you better avoid the flatheads hitachi (HMB46W) carbs as they are very difficult to tune..

There are some differences between the SU's en these Hitachi's.. what they are, i don't know as i never had some SU's in my hands! ;-) I'm sure these differences are in the details..

Hey Mike,
Thanks for that information!

When I posted them, I only found one other listing on facebook or something for 1100. That's what i based the price on.
Let me know a price that sounds more attractive.
