>I'm new to the list. Been lurking a couple weeks and learning lots of things.
>I have a 76 dhc, an old warped EX/IN manifold and a used straight one which
cost $150.
>I found neither manifold aligned with the ports to the extent that the
intake was blocked about 1/3. Read: No acceleration.
>I was blaming the carb until I drove an XKE with dual Zeniths, which sent
me back looking at the MGB until I encountered the alignment problem.
>
>No doubt however, that both the XKE and MGB go better with SU's, so I am
contemplating going that way with both cars.
>
>I thought the MGB needed carbs, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, throttle
cable, linkage, and new header pipes to effect the conversion, putting the
cost somewhere in the $500 +up range.
