Tab,
I put a Weber on my 78 Midget to replace the ZS. I would not go back. Better
performance, better gas mileasge, better sound, especially when the second
barrel opens up. I spent about $350 on the carb and intake manifold. I did
not have to replace the exhaust. I do have headers tho. I am not too sure
about the B. My understanding is the twin SU is a better swap for
performance etc. No personal experience tho.
Take your pick. Weber or twin SU. Either is better than that POS ZS.
