 Hi Listers,I've never seen a performance comparison between SUs and Stromb=
ergs.. anyone?I did send Joe Curto (in NY) a pair of SU carb bodies (from m=
y '63 Volvo 122S) and a pair of Stromberg carb bodies from my '63 TR4 for r=
eshafting. To save expense I had stripped them down totally and upon their =
return with the new shaft bushings I rebuilt them.The whole time I was tryi=
ng to figure out which was a better carburettor.They both had same build qu=
ality (IMO) and just cannot say one is better than the other..which leads m=
e to my final thought Bill - why not just rebuild your Strommies? (Or have =
Joe Curto, Inc., or one of the other reputable shops do them)
Regards,Carl '63 TR4 since '74

TR4A: Can the Stromberg Z175 be replaced easily with the SU HS6?=C2=A0 Any =
hints
or tips appreciated.=C2=A0=20
Thx,
Bill B
