This is what's in my '75.
To complete the 'proper' in/out breathing, I'm installing
a complete euro spec exhaust manifold and twin downpipe,
coupled to my brand new (NOS) Stebro SS exhaust center pipe
and rear box.

Subject: SU Question
O.K. I'll join in the fray with a question. I have 1.5 in. SU's from an MGB
(thanks to Ted Schumacher) and was told by a local shop that the HS-4's pump
"too much" for a 1500 spit engine-and new needles shoulda been fitted to get
it "leaned" out enough. what needles should I use? I think it runs "ok." as
is-a little thin on the top end though-I believe the throttle cable has too
much play to open the carbs all the way. there is a 1/2 in. gap in the cable
at the foot pedal connection and the cable wobbles at the carb end.
