[Mgs] Looking for a rebuilt Zenith Stromberg...or a Weber DGV for 79 MGB...

[Howard Battan]

Bill, when I purchased my '79 'B', it had been de-smogged and a new Weber 
"Outlaw" DGES carb had been installed. This a 2-bbl, 38/38 carb. Once the 
proper jets had been installed, it has been a wonderful carb setup. My 
throttle response is great, and the gas milage is about 28 mpg on the 
highway.
