A few of questions for the collective.  I have a 56 BN2 that I want to make 
some of the M modifications to.  Such as the Carbs, Airbox, etc.  The engine 
was rebuilt recently (about 1000 miles ago) while in possessions of the 
previous 
owner.  The question came up about what is the difference between the 1 3/4 
SU Carbs that were used on Triumphs and those used on the 100 M's.  I have NO 
idea!!  In fact the previous owner said he had installed rebuilt H 6 SU carbs.  
Are those the 100 M version?  How does one tell?  Also what is the difference 
between the stock intake manifold and the one for the 100 M?  Again, no clue 
from me.  Any help welcome.  Lastly I seem to remember a recent thread about 
the benefits or lack thereof of installing the 100 M cam without the 100 M 
pistons.  Can anyone give me a short recap?  The previous owner also installed 
a 
"New" distributor (standard points and condenser).  Do I need to change that to 
the distributor for the 100 M?  What are the advantages, disadvantages?  The 
car runs good with no overheating or complaint.  I would just like a little 
more kick and I like the looks of the 100 M mods.

My humble thanks!!  Gary
