- Hi all, I've read quite a bit lately on SU's, Webers etc and I'm not sure why there are so many people out there with rubbernose cars converting to a Weber when they could convert to SU's. As far as

- I think another issue is cost. I person can score a Weber and manifold for about $400-$450 while a new set of SU's is about $600. This is from memory so don't beat me up. If you are buying new the We

- Webers just sound so much better :-) In addition, unlike SUs, they are "set and forget" - they don't drift out of tune, and they are less prone to wear problems. If they are set up correctly, they ar

- Well, that may be your experience, but it isn't mine. I have found the Webers bulletproof and truely 'set and forget', no more carb synchronisation, no more leaky throttle shafts, no more stuck float

- Sound's EXACTLY like my HIF's. The only advantage I can see for the Weber's is that you don't have to add oil periodically. This is worth $300???? :>) Rick Morrison 72 MGBGT 74 Midget On Tue, 24 Nov

- The HIF is an excellent carb, and a significant technical advance on the older style SU. For all around use (road) I'd be more than happy using a HIF. In fact I have used a HIF6 on a 1380cc spridget
