And any thoughts on how crazy it would be to find and fit one? I care too much about (the appearance of) originality to go with a modern unit. A vintage one would be fun, and I’m hoping it might help with cold-starting woes. If I’ve not run the car for a couple of days, it takes a very long time for it to turn over, and it sounds to me like it’s because it takes a long time to get fuel to the carbs. Once it’s running, it’s fine. And starting up after a day or two doesn’t take nearly as long.<br>
