[QUOTE="creationblue, post: 232261, member: 1093"] The 34ICT conversion is fantastic and will transform your bus, the increased torque is great, i get much better MPG too. I run a 1600SP with a Turbo Thomas exhaust, no H/Ex so running J-Tubes, I converted to electronic ignition and you will have to change the distributor for a Vac/Mech advance unit as the standard SP dissy is Vac only and will run out of advance at high revs. Get the carbs from Eurocarb and they will supply the manifolds to suit the SP, but i recomend a trip to the rolling road to get set up as with mine the jets still needed matching to the engine for peak proformance/millage. Overall the motor pulls strongly all thru the rev range and is great when towing a trailer as i do with 2 adults and 3 kids and all camping gear. The SP heads are not prone to cracks either. If you want to ask any Qs feel free to PM me and ill talk you through it all. Just Oh and on the point of chokes, like said above you will not notice a difference except on the cold mornings when its a bit lumpy for a minute. [/QUOTE]
