HIF4's. I've been meaning to do up a revised SU saga, now that I have
a set of HIF's. 'Cept that I took them off and installed HS4's on the
74, so it'll have to wait till I put the 71 back together with them.

On the HS anyhow, this should only be true when the choke is engaged.
It can cause problems when it doesn't release completly. I can't
'member what the HIF has for an Idle adjustment, exactly. HS has
an Idle screw.

Vinnie is WRONG. The "Land Crab's" 1800 is the 1800 "B" series, almost
the same as in an MGB. (downgraded) The Later Marinas were Front Wheel
drive even, for those of you with perverted conversion ideas.
The Austin "B" series 1800 would be quite a job to squose into a
spit.
