Scott-
The above was my original post. I bought a 48 TC in 1950 when you had to
learn the hard way-- Ran it hard, raced it 52-59--wrecked it--rebuilt
it--ran it hard again and like a jackass--sold it for an offer I
couldn't refuse in 1985. Guess I have been working on MG's for 47 years
and (it seems like) S.U. carbs for 147 years.
Best Regards,
Ralph
