        Yes. There was (15 years ago) a book on those carbs, as well as books
on the side draft strombergs, and the two barrel down draft solex, and
Webbers of course. I tried all three stock carb setups on my old
Alpine, and found the the Zenith Down drafts worked the best for my car.
 Check out your local Foriegn Car pasts place for these books. It was
the same publisher as the books on the Webbers.
