    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

if you have the cases split and cleaned, I have been told by KG coatings to help remove all oil from the cases clean them good, then use a acetone/mek to wash the oils off. Then put the cases in the oven for 2 hours around 200 degrees or so. this will help draw more oil out of the cases then wash one more time with acetone.
 
No primer under my PJ1 satin either. Cleaned, scuffed, alcohol wipe & spray about 3 or 4 coats allowing them to become "tacky" in between.

Nice smoothbores Bruce! Do you have to run different intake boots or open up the intake ports to accommodate those 33s?

I think they fit straight on, But I'm not sure. The reason I bought them is because RapidRay thought they might compliment my mods better. My intake ports have already been ported a bit. I'll see how well they match up to the carbs.

I was always under the impression that the VM29's and VM33's had the same spacing? I know the 29's fit straight on, no mods needed. I think that you have to modify them if you use them on 1100's and 1150's. But maybe I'm wrong.:confused:
 
They bolt right on the 1100 and 1150 sixteen valve. These are the carbs they used in the early days for an upgrade to the CVs.

Well, hopefully the spacing is the same. I can get boots for a larger intake size.
 
I just made it through this whole thread... Absolutely awesome work your doing, I am very impressed. Can't wait to see more updates! The engine finish is amazing.
 
for fun hold on to the 29's and give both a try, see what works best, maybe even get to a dyno and try both and get some hard numbers.
 
33's

33's

Bruce,
The 33's have a larger spigot at the head than the 29's. Sudco sells the boots you need to mount those carbs to your head.
 
Well, I finished the VM29 carbs.

But I'm going with VM33's instead! :-\\\ So the 29's are for sale on ebay.

I'll of course need to paint them black and shine them up. OH, will I EVER be done?
