Hi Jerry,
thanks for the reply. Your words sound reasonably encouraging. Was your car at the Goodwood Revival last year by any chance? A friend spotted one that had very discretely been converted to modern EFI. It sounds like a good idea, and at least keeps to fuel injection rather than going the triple Webers route. I wonder if it improved the mpg at all, although that is not a prime consideration running this type of car.
Regards, Steve
