Sierra Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 A guy here in town is selling a Twin SU carb that came out of a A12T motor. Would it fit my A14 motor? Will it bolt in to my current intake manifold? The guy wants $100 for it. Is it worth it? Don't know much about carburetors. Any advice will help. Thanks Quote Link to comment
LeviGideon Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 You'll have to get an SU manifold to go with it, which may take a while to find the right deal on. $100 is definitely worth it if they're at least somewhat clean. Here's what you'll need: Quote Link to comment
j_boy_619 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Dude those would be a sweet add on. I saw those earlier too, but I decided to just wait around until I found a cheap weber. Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Pics of carbs? He could be trying to sell you the junk-emission Zcar carbs that aren't worth their weight in scrap. Never know with non-members/CL'rs. Square opening on the engine side? Walk away. But if legit and came off an A-worth it! Do they come with a manifold? 1 Quote Link to comment
B210GX Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 I have an extra manifold if you buy them.. Quote Link to comment
B210GX Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Does he have the heat shield? return springs? all linkage? Isolators with gaskets.. air cleaner would be a bonus too! nearly impossible to find a stock one. Not that you could actually use it in your car but it would be a bonus Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 They look like my L18SSS carbs, definitely NOT for the 240/260 zcar. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Get those quick. Quote Link to comment
Docsis510 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I remember seeing these a while back and the guy had them complete with manifold and linkage.. Quote Link to comment
Sierra Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 B210GX found the CL ad. Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/pts/3939561499.html WOW, what a deal! the manis are around and can even be made but genuine A motor s/u's are quite a rarity. i maybe wrong but im pretty positive that they were only offered on JDM 1200gx and some JDM cherrys Quote Link to comment
K Appley Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I have an extra manifold if you buy them.. Don't know how to PM you on this forum but if you have it for sale I'd be interested. One for a small oval that is. Kurt. Quote Link to comment
