A question for the collective wisdom of the list.

My 3 has a '4 engine in it (about ct39000) I am going to rebuild a set
of carbs over the winter, and wonder 1) which is standard for that motor
(SU or Zeniths) 2) which gives better performance (SU or Zeniths) 3)
which is easier to maintain 4) which is easier to rebuild

I have a complete Zenith setup; the SU's on the car + several additional
SU's in boxes (I am sure there is at least on complete pair w/linkages
in all of the parts)

As always, your opinions are greatly appreciated.

Carl,

 I'm having my TR4 motor rebuilt and I talked to them about the
Zenith/SU card issue. When I got my TR4 in about 78, it had Zenith's on
it and a I had nor experience with them, and had heard bad things, I
replaced them with a set of SU's . No real problem wiht it.

The guys doing the rebuilding told me it really did not matter which
ones I used, but they had no issue with the Zeniths. My car's engine is
39267E, which is line with its commission #. Its a 64.
