Recommenation for an SU carb fro supercharged 1250

Post by Mitchman2 » Wed Oct 24, 2018 6:20 am

I'm in need of a recommendation. I've got a TC with the supercharger mounted in front of the radiator.

What SU should I be looking for? Model, capacity, high volume, etc?

Thanks
Mitch

I thought people used a single H4?

I have a belt driven Eaton 45 on my road going TC with an HD 6 SU (1 3/4").

I've seen several types, and I think it comes down to how much air you need as well as mounting method requirements. I suspect this is for a built engine so my first thought would be an H6.
