NO YOU ARE ASSUMING THAT YOU'RE THE ONLY OLDE FART HERE! I recall that Road
and track had an article on a 265/283 in a TD but did YOU EVER see or hear
of a V*-60 equipped with ARDUN heads much less with 48IDA's--in fact did you
even see anything before the 60's with them.Webers were EXOTIC! you will
recall that the Jaguar XK-120c not to mention the MG Twin cam, Healy 100S, and
other race type production cars didn't have webers! If some person stuffed a
V*-60 in his TD it was because it was a cheaper way to go faster than buying
one of the above mentioned go-fasters. To spend enough to buy one of them on
the arduns and webers wasn't generally-if ever done.
