jbooker82 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Posted June 9, 2009 I was always told a lectron carb isn't good for anything but wot drag racing. PWK' don't come in a 36 they come in 28, 33, 35, 35 airstriker, and I can't remember the larger sizes. PJ's come in 34, and 36's Quote
klemet banshee Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Posted June 9, 2009 oh sorry lol i guess its a 35 then :biggrin: but i have a decent amount of port work and i got the carb for 50 bucks so why not give it a try? :shrug: any other opinions are welcome Quote
