Sean,

IMHO,  you be much better off switching to a set of UK spec HS4's on a UK
manifold or a Weber DCOE (or DGAV).

It's one thing to want to stay stock,  but once you want to change,  you
might as well put on something more reliable.

Everyone,
        I was wondering about the feasibility of replacing the ZS 150
autochoke
carb on my 80 spitfire with a 175 from a TR7 (I don't have the specific part
nos. handy) and if it would provide any performance improvements.  I figure
it probably wouldn't be a straight swap and was wondering what modifications
I might need to do (needle, swap the autochoke, etc.)  Any and all thoughts
on this would be greatly appreciated.

Slante,
Sean Twigg
