So, I dry fitted the HS6 to my manifold today to get a clear idea on how much modding and fabricating I'm going to have to do to employ this puppy in place of the Zenith-Stromburg.
First mod will be notching the ZS Heatshield bracket, because it prevents the throttle from going full open. The choke idle speed adjustment screw butts up against it when attempting to go full throttle.
Next, I'm gonna have to fab up a throttle cable mount point. The HS-6 I have has all the throttle attach points on the left when looking into the throat. That shouldn't be too difficult, IMO. Some aluminum C-channel stock and JBWeld or rivets ought to do the trick there.
Finally, it appears I'm going to have to source a throttle wheel. The throttle wheel from the ZS won't work because it's too large in diameter. The ZS throttle wheel butts up against/interferes with the choke mechanism and the heatshield brackets.
I didn't take any pictures of the initial fitment, but it's a darn sight less cluttered in that area of the engine bay with the ZS + monstrous air filter contraption removed, and the HS6 hanging off that manifold with its round air filter.
I've started hand polishing the dash pot exterior this past week, and got it up to "cloudy mirror" status on the shiny-o-meter in one evening. I figure I can get it up to high polished chrome shininess with another evening of hand polishing. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif
