<<RE: strombergs.  My impression is the strombergs are NOT GOOD.  I'd
advise you to keep the SU's.  Triumph went back to SU's as soon as
it was economically feasible for them to!  So should you.>>
A few months ago I rebuilt both the twin SUs on my Volvo and twin Strombergs 
on my TR4 and I'll be darned if I can say one design is that much better than 
the other. 
I prefer the Stromberg 'looks' though and I notice an awful lot of Jaguars 
came stock with Strombergs too. Both designs have similar problems and tune 
up almost identically in my opinion (the Strombergs do have the two $9.00 
diaphrams that you have to replace every 15 years or so whereas the SU design 
has no need for it).
