I switched to the SPAX shocks about 2 years ago with no complaints from my "auto-x on Sunday, drive on Monday" 1970 MGB. I did find that a) the car handles best set to "14" for auto-x on the fat tir

It really depends on what you're looking for. My TWM manifold and sidedraft 45 DCOE provides MUCH better throttle response than my SUs ever did. The SUs were fine, but the car didn't have the neck sn

Another source you may want to try is TWM Manifolds. IMHO, this is the "best" DCOE manifold out there. They have ads in every Grassroots Motorsports, or let me know and I'll look up the number for y

I completely agree with the previous post about the suitability of the Weber for the 'B powerplant. I went through the Weber DD vs. SD vs. 1 1/4" SU battle for about 2 months before relying on the ba

I don't know that I completely agree with this, since no sizes are mentioned. With a 40 DCOE and the proper size chokes, a sidedraft can be a very streetable, responsive carb from off-idle to the to
