I have this setup on my 78 spit now. Replaced that bedeviling
Stromberg fiasco. I love it . Very easy to get a long with. I get 25 to
30 mpg good cold weather use and trouble free operation. Definitly
worth the trouble. Check around on the rebuild. New ones are in the
$400.+ range.

If you decide not to use it let me know. I'll be glad to get it out of
your way.
