[Healeys] Weber question

[Michael Salter]

Hi Gary,
Not so easy because the 100 head has siamesed inlet ports so the best you
can do is one 45DCOE or install an "S" head!!
We have 2 x 45 DCOEs on AHX12 and although they are, as mentioned, great
for getting the most power at higher RPM they are not a lot of fun around
town.
I would pick SUs any day for a road car, but when it comes to show Webers
sure take the prize. It's a bit like golf: Drive for show; putt for dough.
