Hi Ho Richard,

Did John Morris think he was going to get some huge improvement over the 
Stromberg by installing 
a single S.U. ? One of Long Island's finest and most knowlegeable MG mechanics 
has been over 
that car and it's intake, conclusion: may as well run a ZS. When you've got 70 
hp under the hood 
there is only so much you can get up and go. John is working on rectifying his 
lack luster 
performance anixety by building a V8 propelled B. Good seeing you out in Dover.

Safety Fast,
David Deutsch
