    Didn't know that. Another little bit of information, is now stored somewhere in my grey matter.
    But it makes sense. GAZ made A's up in the 50's, and AA's up in the 60's

    My old '30. 6.00s up front and 7.50s in the rear. 4 inch drop and reversed eye, reversed eye 'A' spring in the rear which could have been a little lower. I had a T spring to put in it but never did.

    That's really sweet looking. I'll do something similar, just using Tillotssons, andhomemade manifold

    "I bought the car for 11.500$ (Which is very cheap for a car in this condition in Denmark)"

    That would be a good deal in Canada too.

    Well things never play out the way you imagined. Life sometimes gets in the way.
    But now I'm back on track. Sort of:).
    So I put this on yesterday, It fired right up. Intake and carb are designed for the G28T. Ignition is a Bosch dizzy. Next will be lightened flywheel and a wheel change. That will be it for this summer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . maybe. Still looking for a used Winfield or Thomas head :rolleyes:

    That's a nice car, Niels. You made a good deal!

    Sound plan too.
    Been wondering about why you wants to run 2 updraft carbs, when you got the beautiful SU set up? Are they from a Volvo B30?

    I'm from Denmark too, long time ago we talked about a Volvo powered rod. Does your son still own the junker?
