Mike,

Beg to differ, all MGAs which used the BMC 'B' engine, 1500, 1600, 1622, and
twin cam versions, 1956 - 1962 used two SU H4s. Worked on lots of them,
raced one in FP.

Having said that, there were after market manifolds that used side draft
Webbers, single and double, for many of the English sports cars. But I doubt
that you will find any tuning specs. Some of the BMC sedans of the day,
Austins, Morris' and MG Maganets and even Metro delivery trucks in the U.S.
used lower powered versions with a single SU, but that's a far cry from a
DCOE.
