Some idle daydreaming. I wonder, has anyone experimented with fitting carb bellmouths on their 2200TC? On the 2000TC carbs, it looks like there’s a nice radiused inlet from the air box to the carburettor. On the 2200TC, the air box bolts directly to the carb flange, and presents a sharp edge, with no radius into the inlet. This effectively reduces the cross section of the inlet, as any air coming from the side of the inlet has to make an abrupt turn. Maybe it’s this way on the 2200, as by the time it came out, the V8 was the performance option, and keeping things simple made it cheaper when developing the 2200?
There’s not much space between the air filter and the back of the air box, but it might be possible to get something short in there. Has anyone tried this, and did it make any difference? If I can find something cheap and universal, I might give it a go to see if it makes any difference.
