Burt -

Anyone who is familiar with british cars can help you.  MGs, Triumphs, Land
Rovers or Jaguars... Check if there is anyone who knows british cars around.

Alternatively, usually a car running rich is indicative of worn jets on
your HS6 carbs.  This is easily fixed by purchasing new jets and following
the instructions on how to install and center them.  It will save you alot
more time and effort for you to take the carbs off yourself, rebuild them
yourself and put them back on.  It's actually not a very difficult job, and
can be done within a couple hours if you plan well.

Best,

Alan
