Re: Need Help with Jo Siffert's 1970 911S

Re: RSR High butterfly throttle bodies

Thanks Hillclimber. Its a lookylikey bitsa rather than accurate replica, so jenvey are an option. A 72 shell, 3.6 and g50, oil tank in front.

Re: RSR High butterfly throttle bodies

Thanks for the answers, I have sent some photos to Alan to see what he thinks. Mike, yes an unusual combination but any reason why it cant work do you think ?
