    I expect the carb from Omix-Ada will be a Solex, not the OEM-style Carter YF.

    What's wrong with the Stromberg? It's a good carburetor.

    If you want the exact original type of carb, AFAIK your only option is a good used YF from a F134. Many here in the USA are running the Solex though, and are happy with it. Search the archives or ask.

    that sounds like a pretty darn good reason,time for a hood scoop or a body lift:rofl: so i am confused is this with the 4 cylinder engine or the v6,if it is with the 4 cylinder the solex to the best of my knowledge is a direct bolt on replacement will accept the factory aircleaner and all,but they make 2 one for the l head and the other for the f head,if itr is the v6 i canot help you there just because i dont know

    From his user name, I'd assume it's an F134 :coffee: :)
