I've thought about the recent discussion about MGB carbs, and I've boiled 
things down to a single situation:
   I have two B's, a 75 and a 73 GT.  My 75 isn't running and I suspect that
a fresh carb will expedite the resurrection of the car.  (It has the 175-cd-2
or whatever was on the TR-7)  If I do buy a new carb, and I do go to the Weber
do I put the Weber on the 73 (with dual stock SU's), and rotate the SU's to
the 75, or just do a straight swap, ZS for Weber.  Three carb kits, two cars
and 1 anxious owner.  Another option is to buy the big SU's for the 73 and put
the stock SU's on the 75.  I hate to beat a dead horse of a topic, but ththe 
essence of the debate in a nutshell.  
I saw a mid 70's BGT in Baltimore on Thurs. 10/21 at 3:00am, is that anyone 
on the list????
PS. Never buy a rebuilt Armstrong shock that's been sitting around-
at least longer than a few years:-)
