Bill,
Sorry I can't help you with the Webers. I've always had good luck with
the SUs.
Just an FYI, the true 69s should have flat head rests, a one year
production characteristic, king of unique. Wish I still had my 2 - 69s.
They had a feel that I haven't found since I sold them way back in 1978, but
I'm having fun hunting.

I am looking at the possible purchase of a 69 MGB roadster here in my area.
