Hi, I have a '74 ute with a stromberg carb that I'm about to buy an adjustable main jet for, but I'm wondering what the consensus is for the best carb for the P motor. The ute came with the stromberg but its far too rich. I haven't taken it off yet to see what size it is. What size works best on these motors? Is the stock one still better? Are parts still available for the stock one?
Thanks

Hi,

The best carb in the world is the Webber. An XE or XE Falcon 6 has one. They are accurately made, fully tune-able and have proper bearings on the butterfly shaft.

My Opinion B M

Are jets available for those carbs? Where from?
Do you know of anyone who's jetted one for the P motor and what jet combo they ended up with?
Thanks

A few years ago i had a MK p40 5spd ute. Had carb troubles and a a mate and i fitted a
Falcon weber to it.
Had the carb rebuilt and fitted with std jetting,went ok better than std.
Had it tuned/jetted and fitted extractors,well what a different truck drove smooth,had better economy and when you put the boot in off she went(fuel did to when that happened) it also had elect ign fitted by previous owner.
i do miss that ute it was fun to drive.

Cheers Ian.
