Much thanks for the EXCELLENT SU advice. Who really needs a Weber anyway?
And the logic of going to Italian hardware for increased reliability
has always escaped me.
Yes, I'm interested in any SU computer model that can help me
characterize and predict performance. I'm aspiring to be an SU master!

A 1968 Volvo Sedan, I will have to refer to my SU manual to get you
the model number. Also, I would like to get you the Piper cam info, maybe
you could take a stab at what the bhp could be?
Naturally the first thing I did was rebuild/re-bush them.
I ordered a kit from Moss, and they were a bit perplexed by my application.
After some muffled questions and answers on their end of the phone, they
came back and recommended a rebuild kit for a TR4! Well, it may make
sense. The TR4 2 litre displacement (keep me honest) may resemble a modified
1.8 MG engine. Anyway, the carbs work brilliantly, but I'd hate to be
extracting anything less than optimum performance.

Nothing up my sleeve!
I simply took the carbs apart from each other, inserted standard MG
throttle and choke linkages, and YES, mounted onto the 2 MG manifold studs.
