My question is:
Do all your statements pertain to the 1500, or to DGV's in general? I agree
with most of what you say since I have a '77 MGB with a DGV conversion and I
am experiencing flooding when turning, some bogging, and it is sometimes
finicky.
I did not convert mine with the hopes of a high horsepower increase (after all,
what can you expect from an engine which develops 62 bhp in stock form) but for
better drivability , and especially since my ZS was totally shot.
Can you expand (again perhaps) on a cure?
