Over many years, but I don't remember the exact years.
There were the old style OE's sold into the 70's (at least), then the
A-11's(sold through NISMO into the 90's), and at least two "late" versions which
Mikuni refined after
the A-11's (late 80's-90's).

I would avoid the oldest OE's unless you are goofy about building 67.5. The
only way
I would buy those if off a car you can see and drive. They have several small
circuits
which get gunked up by sitting around for 30 years and can be a MAJOR pain.
After this
happens, neophytes start really screwing with them. They often become junk.
These are
of course the worst to get parts for. The A-11's are better. The lates are by
far the
nicest to work with and are quite trouble free.
