Spitsters,

Just got a larger motor for the '72 Spit, a 1500, to replace the 1300. It
will be nice to have a little more power !! (Jeff, are you listening?). The
motor is out of a '79 and has a Stromberg carb.

What is the optimal carb setup ?  Stromberg, SU's, Weber(s), Holly 4150...

It's going to be a street car, running on super high-octane (not) California
gas. Not sure what the compression ratio is, but, after the rebuild, it
should be between 8.5 and 9 to 1

Now, I know it won't beat Jeff's MKIII, but it would be nice not to lose
sight of him !

TIA...Ken C
