Correct, I have a Midget 1500 and the euro manifold and HS4 carbs.
I think that is relevant, because a lot of people do "dual SU"
converstions by putting the 1300cc manifold and twin HS2s on their
1500cc engine.
It is a dual SU conversion and is probably a good one, but it's
not the way abingdon intended a "dual SU 1500" to be.
