I bought the Empi 40mm HPMX after reading a post a bit back saying they were decent. I ordered the kit from The OVW Company. The price was good. The kit had all I needed for the installation. I opened the carburetors up before installing them, and there was no junk in the bowls. They fired right up, and seem to be running great. I still need to balance them, but they seem pretty close.
The single progressive is a disaster looking for a place to happen. There were several times during cold weather when I thought I was in trouble because the car wouldn't go when I needed it to. Also, the electric choke is a problem. It warms up on it's own, not in relation to the engine temperature. When you park the car for 20-30 minutes the choke is cold/closed and the engine is still fairly warm. Makes for a great cloud of smoke when you start things up. If used in warm weather the progressive is not too bad. It will get you around without much trouble. Just get rid of it before it gets cold out. |
