Has anyone seen what the advertisement states? Title: Re: "Highway Patrol" compound throttle conversion kit... Post by: zulu on February 04, 2009, 12:09:46 PM Nice find Jamie, haven't seen this add either, EffCee may be on the right track, there were a few different makers of these adapter blocks
I was under the impression that they were from the late 60's early 70's but the add proves otherwise I know my Datsun 1600 had a dual throat carby & it performed just like the add says only mine was in dual throat mode most of the time ::) Here are is a pic of a unit I have, it has Nikki on the side which I think is a brand of carby Does anyone know by the shape what carby would fit this adapter ???

Post by: TTV6FC on February 04, 2009, 10:52:07 PM Twin barrel carby with vac secondary,that's what it sounded like to me too.My mum found this so I'll have to find out a bit more about it and when it was published. ???

The FE was on the June 58 and July 58 editions atleast. Regards Alex Title: Re: "Highway Patrol" compound throttle conversion kit... Post by: EffCee on February 05, 2009, 09:13:35 AM Zulu,
That carburettor adaptor looks like it will fit either a Nikki or Hitachi carburettor. I am guessing that it would have fitted either a carburettor off a Toyota Crown or a Nissan Cedric or a Datsun 240C or 260C Keith |
