I am planning to install dual HS-4 carbs onto a 1978 MGB. Need advice
on the throttle cable & choke cable.

Can I use the '78 style accelerator cable or should I use the 68-71
style? (and is this a direct swap at the pedal end?)

Which style choke cable should I use (and ideas on where to install)?

I have a decent exhaust system ('cat back') from the '78. Is it
feasible to obtain the headpipe for 68-74 MGB and graft it onto the
rear portion of the exhaust system I have? i.e are the pipes similar
diameters?

TIA,
Eric

P.S. I am missing the accelerator lever - connects the two throttle
shafts on the HS-4 carbs, Moss # 373-770, item # 25, page 76. Anyone
have a spare they'd be willing sell?
