HAHAHAH!! hey thanks so much. ive got alot of great info from you fellas. and a few laughs. im going to stay with the SUs because they WERE working fine- and the object of getting her running and rolling is most important(AT THIS POINT) .the horseplay will come into effect a lil down the road. but ya. thank you guys so much and ive been researching on my own as well(dont worry)

Hola ..so i have been a member for ..long enough.. I enjoy this site very much- there s a wealth of information and experience. I just want to start my own conversations from my own question. I dont want anybody banging on me for asking MY question nor-automatically be classified under any inferior participant list. i also DO NOT want to be told to use the f$@#!^n search bar..........that seems to happen alot- and many times i understand why. I just want anyone who will honestly discuss the matter. and wants to HELP me understand from their experience to correspond with me. thanks. so - i am resurrecting my dat 72 sedan. after 15 years of storage-AFTER a moderate front end collision. its powered by an L20b. it has dual "SU" carbs. oh! and the head is A87(relevant?) i was told by a respectable individual that WEBBERS are hands down- the superior choice for performance. i dont doubt him but would now- like to learn WHY? and by HOW MUCH? Whats the best i can get out of SUs, and is it even worth it? anybody running SUs with great results? anybody have experience with both? what are important factors that combine with either for success? (ie manifold, exhaust, headwork) In summary- can any O.G engine guys drop some science for me? Id appreciate the time greatly.

need radiator/core support to repair moderate front end damage. anybody help?

i dont know anywhere else to look. i have a 72 4dr..was in a front end damaging crash(not massive).11 years ago and i put it away but held onto her. i really want to revive my dime now with/for my son.anybody here might have a lead (or have) towards a core support or donorshell. i look all up and down the web and elsewhere..maybe im a dummy as far as where to look...anybodys time/tips would be greatly appreciated. maybe i can help YOU too!
