Roger sez: | Someone asked about the carbs on his '73 B- These should be dual SU Type HIF, | NOT Strombergs. They do have an automatic choke, and integral float | bowls. The work reasonably well when cared for. Some still prefer to | fit a manual choke kit to them. The next stage is to go to a set of | older HS4's. I didn't see the original query. Our '73 definitely has factory fitted dual SU's with manual choke (thank, god!) :-) The previous owner was a stickler about authenticity (the car was an "investment") and the only thing he changed was to fit a smaller sporty type stearing wheel (helm?) And, of course, he had the decency to return the original one to me "in case I wanted to return the car to mint." (I haven't) - Dale (cook@encore.com) Did Sweden really have the trucks all switch sides of the road a week before the cars to "see how it worked?" :-)
