Dear Mr. Bullwinkle,
(A formal greeting since, as well as not listing the cars you own, you also
fail to sign your mail)
May I ask the source of your information in the post about XPAG engines
fitted with 1-1/2" carbs? Some of your statements are unquestionably
factual, others are things I've never heard before - and I've been working
on these cars since the 1960s.
Maybe I've been wrong all this time, so I'd just like some clarification.
TIA
