I agree with at least one of the selections.

I've changed windshields a few times & on my '66 B it's a bear.  But, that's
because it was hit on both left & right front at different times.  My '80 B
was a piece of cake.

BUT...

Even worse than the B is my Turner.  One would think that because the
engine, a BMC "A", is smaller than the B, it would be easier to R&R.  No
way!  Last time I removed & replaced the B engine (without trans) it was 2
hours out & 3 hours in.  The Turner wasat least an hour more in each
direction.

And try adjusting the carbs on the Turner.  I may resort to something
similar to what we used to do to '57 & '58 Chevies.  We cut holes in the
inner fender panels so we could get at the spark plugs from underneath.  I
may cut holes in the left inner fender panel to reach the carb adjustment
nuts.
