Hi All.
I'm looking for 1 only '79 carb bowl, the one with the drain bolt @ centre bottom.

Hi craig,
My understanding of the float-bowl configuration has been: The centered-single 10mm bowl is 1980 and up. The 1979 bowl had 2 nipples (only 1 drilled to drain) with a drain screw on the side.
First photo (bank of carbs) - 1980
2nd and 3rd photo - 1979
The '79's main jet needle only had 1 cir-clip position.
The '80's and up had a main jet needle machined with 5 cir-clip positions.
Further confirmation on this by anyone would be appreciated.
Cheers, scotch
