Thanks Bill,
It sounds like you've got exactly what I'm hoping for: hassle free reliability
and an improvement that's noticeable.
I've already done the manual choke conversion you suggested. It's a definite
improvement -- at least the car is driveable now -- but I'm hoping for better
things yet.
Thanks,
Dave
> Hi Dave,
The only thing I can tell you about having replaced stock ZS carbs
with twin HIF's is
i) it passed emissions without a catalytic converter
ii) it sounds nicer
iii) my wife said it is running as well as it ever has since I have owned
it (1 1/2 years).
The latter is probably most important because she professes not to
understand the lure of the B.
Comparing it with any of the other possibilities is beyond my capabilities
and understanding.
Also, it was fun to do and I learned a whole lot.
You might also add to your possibilities converting the ZS to a manual
choke so you don't have to fiddle
with the manifolds and exhaust systems, etc.
Regards and I'll be looking for more learned responses to your question, too.
Bill
