Today, a gorgeous day, I met two (count 'em: 2!) MGs driving in my town, a 
small town of 3000 people where I probably have the only one, unless 
someone else is keeping theirs tucked away.

One was a B, the other a Midget.  I talked to guy with the Midget, who was 
just passing through, and he told me how he had reconditioned his, 
including replacing the Zenith with a Weber.  He said it was a definitely 
noticeable major difference, although he didn't elaborate (and by then we 
were out of time).  I have a '78 B, and now I'm wondering, if I moved to a 
Weber:

1) What significant differences would I see?
2) What would be involved?  Is it just changing the carb, or do I have to 
do the muffler too, or what?
3) For those of you who moved from a Zenith to a Weber, what did you 
think?  How much did it cost, and would you do it again?

TIA,

- Tab
