[6pack] carb problems

[Al Salvatore]

I've rebuilt quite a few Strombergs over the years and am very comfortable 
with them.
I've rebuilt a couple of SU's and have a set on a car right now, but I 
perfer the Strombergs.  Even though with the strombergs, I have to change 
the rubber diaphram on a yearly basis. ( daily driving).
I am sure with time, I'd be comfortable with the SU's.
I haven't seen any performance difference.
