I just finished rebuilding the carbs on my 58 MGA. It was pretty
straight forward and surprisingly easy. I used the instructions that
came with the kit (Moss) and supplimented with my Haynes MGA shop
manual. The only thing to watch for was to make sure the needles are
centered in the jet and that your slides don't stick. The difference the
kits made were impressive. The car runs exceptionally well. I previously
installed oversize shafts, a much harder task with less impressive
results. Someday maybe I'll be able to afford new carbs but for now the
car runs extremely well.
