[Mgs] H4 or HS4 carbs on an MGA 1600 and Electronic Ignition or Points

[Osborne, Paul]

I assume that your back home.  First I would work on why it stopped running. Getting back running reliable before I would do anything.

It ran great for @400 miles on a run from Raleigh, NC to just North of Caryville, TN in the New Years Eve subzero weather, then quit.  Would fade and then rev back up (until it didn't anymore).  Probably a combination of fuel pump, bad fuel, coil, and voltage regulator issues. Man was it cold on that mountain waiting for AAA!

How well does the engine run?  If it runs well I wouldn't mess with it.

I bought an MGA 1600 with HS4 carbs conversion and a crane fireball electronic ignition.  I would like to go back to a stock set up.  What are the significant pros and cons for doing so, for example power (rather than ease of maintenance)?  I know the H4s, but I am unfamiliar with working with HS4s (same with points vs electronic ignition).
