SU question, but no Volvo content... 140-160

Hi all,

Sorry about the lack of Volvo content, but since a couple of my Volvos run SUs I thought someone here might know the answer to what seems a simple question.

The non-Volvo car is a classic (read "old") rally car with triple HS6 SUs feeding a 3300cc 6 cylinder motor. Under some conditions (eg hard cornering on long sweepers) it feels like it leans out a lot. I've confirmed on the 'net that this is a problem because of the remote float bowls.

I've been offered a set of 1 3/4" HIFs which supposedly don't have the same problem because of the integral bowls. I've never had a car with HIFs and don't know much about them.

At last the question: can I use my HS needles or do I need to go through the whole dyno/tuning process again?

Regards

10 Volvos, but a few other marques as well...
