These seem to sit up a little higher than the stock carbs, and the throttle linkage geometry seems a little off, on mine anyway. Do you notice that too?
I haven't noticed it. But then again I don't know what normal would be...haven't seen what a truly stock setup looks like. I'll get a better look today. The records that I have only go up to the early 80's...not bad though!
No record of carb change. But I can tell ya the dealer was dealing with maniflold leaks early in its service.....like I am now
