Yes my car has had at least three different carbs on it.  It started with
a factory stromberg (first year).  This was exchanged for a dual SU setup.
Then was moved back to a single stromberg.  I also have a sneeking
suspicion that a mechanic I took my car to (To fix the messed up carb)
tossed that stromberg and put on another he had kicking around (He's a big
MG guy...).  All (With except of the last "possible" switch) of these
switches happened before I bought the car.  Hopefully this winter I'll fit
a newly rebuilt set of SU's on the car, to end all of this carb madness.
