What it "should be" and what is best aren't necessarily the same! I
believe the GT6 came with Z-S at least in 1970. Mine has SUs, a pair
of HS4s which a PPO installed. It took me some time to get them
tuned in however. Had to swap springs and needles because the carbs
came from an MGB and couldn't handle the increased airflow. A few
other installation details have to be handled too.
