You don't realize how small they are until you park them near other cars.

I knew what you meant, though.  B)

You should try that with a 1200...   :lol:

Yeah! That 710 looks HUGE! I can't even see the other cars!

did someone fuck with the shadow, seems oddly shaped and more defined than the rest of the photo. Centerline colors on the road too.

It's directly under a lamppost and my phone sucks at taking pictures. The town just painted the lines red white and blue for the 4th of July, I think...

Little judgemental? I don't see anything that can't be fixed, he's obviously proud of it.

 

Guy makes his first post and you bash on him like that?

 

Why didn't you just buy it Abe?

 

Too bad about your comment!!!!, what a shame.

 No reason why get annoyed. It is just an opinion. Let the owner of that 710 respond. It is between owner of car and person making the comment.

 

  The owner can explain his style and that is all is needed. Do not fan flames when there is not even fire around !

abe dont worry! haha a buddy of mine sold it to me because i thought it looked cool, it wasn't mounted right so i just took it off! it mounted on the interior now. I cant even explain the love i have for this car. In the past week that I've owned i have driven it more than i have slept! She's getting a new timing chain put on right now and other than that this car is solid! Bob did an amazing job with this car and I couldn't be happier with her. Thanks hosestop, I would really appreciate the help!

Is there a reason for the spacers in the rear? They kill the look of the car in my opinion and from what I hear spacers are never really a good idea.

 

Otherwise the car looks fantastic  :thumbup:  710s are the best, and 74 is the year all the cool people have  B)

My dad had the spacers put in because the wheel rubbed the fender when he drove it. my short term goal is to flare the fenders and the drop it back down! what do you guys think? I really want to get it done before jccs!

but yours dont work for the 46's do they? 

 

U guys ever hear of using an 85 ford escort filter?

 

 Im nowhere near my 510 right now or I would take a pic of mine...works regardless of SU size.... and waaaay cheaper than tuna cans. 

 

There is a small benefit to housing both carbs in the same filter. 

 

Basically u get stubstacks for flanges, an 85 escort filter (oval and about 1.5in deep), and some aluminum  (get extra to make a heat shield)

 

Trace the filter onto the aluminum (make 2 frnt and back)... and make a few spots with extra aluminum for bent bits to hold in the filter

 

put the stub stacks on one and mark out holes to drill for each carb (be sure to measure dist between carb holes. etc..)

 

assemble back plate and cut out front plate... you will drill 2 holes in front plate to screw it into 2 holes in stub stacks to hold it in. 

 

Mine uses 2 bolts welded back to back so that I have threads sticking out the front plate holes and just have to tighten it down with nuts. 

 

The BIGGEST improvement in my SUs drive-ability was making a heat shield that separates the carbs from the exhaust heat.... just more aluminum cut to fit the space, drilled to mount to the front of the mani behind the carbs, and bent to shield the bottom of the carbs. Keeps the gas from heating up in the bowls, stopped the shitty behavior around town and stuck in traffic. 

 

Again, I KNOW some pics would be good here, but Im stuck on a train and killing time... best I can do for now.
