Joe Curto wanted $250 plus shipping (and I assume tax) to rebuild my Z-S and
wouldn't even guarantee that the
automatic choke would work. If I had to replace that carb and wanted a stock
look, I'd definitely consider this solution.
BTW, I was pretty amazed at the condition of the float chamber plug and seal on
my Z-S carb - I had to replace them due
to leakage. Take a look at the picture below. The old plug was no more than 3
years old.

The best direct replacement carb for the MGB single Zienth-Stromberg that I
have found is the SU HIF 44 offered by Moss Motors. A direct bolt-on and
mayby a little pricy, but I know people who have spent that much on trying
to keep their ZS carb working. Just add a handchoke cable and your carb
problems are over. I have installed seveal with excellant results.
