Does anyone know if when Hi-Point offered Lectron's if they also offered a special intake?  I ask because I am not all that familiar with Lectrons and I just finished putting one on a 74 250.  It's a new carb and it came with heavy duty rubber connector to connect the spigot to spigot.  But there is no way it would fit using a straight intake.  I ended up using an angled intake, but I needed to shorten it by a ΒΌ" so the top of the carb would clear the pipe.  Even doing that it is a close fit.

Thanks,

Kevin

I'm cleaning up a Lectron that I took off a 76 Husky 360 that's being parted out. A silly question...how can I tell if it has a power jet???

Carl I will take the 175 Lectron.

Richard, on the intake side of the carb there would be a needle that sticks down into the airflow of the carb.  If it is a modern carb, it will have an adjusting screw on top of the needle.  The older ones do not have the screw adjuster.
