vitesse strombergs

[slate]

Hi  I don't know if anyone can help , my vitesse mk2 1969 Stromberg's are worn out and I'm about to rebuild them, but there are no stamped part numbers on the bodies apart from 106 stamped on flange face of the front and 105 stamped  on the rear carb flange.

but I don't know if there correct for the car or if there jetted correctly.

what I have are 150cds top adjusting with .90 jets [pressed in] and B5CF biased needles.

I think this  could be late GT6 mk3 set up.

the car has always been a bit  underpowered compared to a friends vitesse same year running early cds stamped 3224F and 3224R.

the engine is a standard vitesse I rebuilt it last year, although it did have the wrong cam in it which I corrected.

I think the basic CDRK11 or equivalent cd overhaul kit will do the job , but is .90 jet correct or should it be .100 and which needle ?

Also does anyone have any experience pressing in the jets i.e. best from the top or bottom?

I bent it slightly pushing it out.

any thoughts appreciated.

You read up about Stromberg carbs in a manual from my website.

Thanks Steve

I think I'll rebuild them with 6AC needles .90 jets and medium springs and go from there.
