I bought mine from Checker Auto (US national chain) for around $25 about 2
years ago.  It had all the parts I needed, minimal documentation (had to
resort to the Bentley manual a few times), it was on the shelf, and it did
the job.  I even ended up with extra parts (they include parts for several
different models in the same box).

Chris, I bought a complete rebuild kit including a conversion to a non
waxjet assembly from burlen fuel systems.  They have all the original
tooling for the SU's as well as a very good workshop manual.  It was,
however, expensive.

I'm hoping to get at the SU HS4s I bought last year to get them on the
car.
1. Does anyone offer a better rebuild kit then anybody else (i.e. more
complete)?
2. How do I tell what kind of jets I have, waxstat jets early or late,
or standard?
3. I see the Rimmer catalog reccomends putting in stub stacks with K&N
filters. Does this really help?

Thanks
