Great question Jon, considering doing the SU change over to my 2nd Amphicar now

Jack - i know you upgraded to twin carb on your blue car - is it a 1147? -- any noticeable improvement in power?

Always keep in mind, the weakest and most expensive part of an Amphicar is the transmission.
You shouldn't overload it with power and torque.

It seems to have more zip going through the gears but hill climbing ability is the same. Need to take it for a ride soon and decide if Ol Red needs the same upgrade. Right now enjoying our new backyard and the Florida warmth. Aren’t there some Amphicars around here ?

I now stock the same carburetor as GORDON"S. No core charge!
