That's what I thought.  Since my first question was stupid (as I suspected it 
would be!), let me ask:

 - Will the downdraft carb fit under the hood on the 1500cc Spit engine that 
came in the 1975 Midget?
 - Will I need to do any other mods to get decent performance out of this carb?

if your Midget is stock, then a DCOE is WAY TOO much carb
for the engine. You'll have no power below 3000 rpm, it will
probably only do about 19MPG and will genrally give awfull
performance.

I would consider either
Weber DGF (downdraft) or
Twin SU's

I have used all 3 types of carbs and for everyday driving the
Twin Su's and downdraft Weber have wroked GREAT
