Ditto Joe's commments for me.
On a similar performance note I got my Spitfire back from my Dad's carb
guy. And all I have to say is...... WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO
Now I am well aware that I have the slowest possible configuration for a
spitfire but man if feels like its flying now. So my advice is if you
want to really enjoy your spitfire's miserable performance just really
muck up the tuning of it and drive it around coughing and sputtering for
like a month. Then get the carb professionally tuned and rebuilt. Man
I'm still thinking about it. Tommorrow I'm going un-bolt my hardtop and
enjoy the car this weekend before it goes back under the knife monday
for its rear end swap.
smiling all the way....
