Yeah, I don't pronounce it with a "Ch" sound. Although, I have heard many say it that way. I think once one hears it, its just has the snowball effect. I was just curious if anybody had a clue.

He was an Italian physicist named Giovanni Battista Venturi. So any Italians out there that can chime in on the proper pronouncication?

Black hole?
The SU's on my fathers MGA sucked and were always out of adjustment but many late '70's and early '80's bikes did just fine with CV carbs.
On edit; or are you talking about the "Predator"??

Or just replaced it with a Motorcraft 2150 2bbl if you felt lazy, direct swap.....2700 VV motorcraft had to be the worst carb. Ford ever put on a engine.
