    Seems the 79SF is a bit quicker than the 81SH

    The 78-79's were the quicker years.......EPA interferred with that for the 80 and later models, but they ended up with a bit more botttem-end/mid-range 'grunt' in the trade-off for what they lost on the top-end.

      Yeah, the earlier engines have a power explosion at about 4.5K. I LIKE it.

        Sounds to me like the carbs are a bit rich at low rpm., heard that gurgle when I first gave it some gas ? I think the needles are set a bit rich ?
