I have a carb question, I was just offered a Weber side draft carb, I don't
know the number off hand, for my 72 street Spitfire. I see lots of
conversions to a Weber downdraft carb but very few for the sidedraft type.
In theory, a sidedraft seems like a more efficient flow into the engine, no
right angle turns. Is there some reason weber sidedrafts aren't that
common? Am I better replacing the single Stromberg with a spare pair of SUs
from my racing spit or the sidedraft  Weber? Are there clearance or
mounting issues with the Weber?

thanks
mike
