Re: Datsun l18 cam lobe wear problem

How can you fit duel 45 webers on a 510 with a brake booster?
Hey my friend has a 510 and Is getting a l20b rebuilt, he wants to run duel 45 webers but he also has a break booster. I'm pretty sure the brake booster would be in the way for the rear carburetor. Just wanted to know if anyone has an idea.
Thanks
Thanks
