Picking up the $75 74 Z1 front end was a good move. Nobody wanted it because it looked so bad.

Sam still had that 74 Z1 front end after 2-3 years so I guess it was meant to be.

Steve, both of my 33’s have brass floats. You sure those are ok to run.

EDIT, they measure approximately 30.28mm

EDIT,EDIT; please don’t attempt this at home. Smoking while working around gasoline

They will work but there's a very small window in which to do it as you can see. The brass floats can crack and fill with gas. Common issue with all brass floats. I'll be ordering a set soon.
As for smoking around gas, I grew up around people that did it with no accidents. Just need good ventilation and being careful. I'm not suggesting others do it. It CAN BE DANGEROUS.
