My old 65' Triumph TR4 had dual 175CD's on it similar setup to the
Alpine. My friend had a Series V at the time and the only difference I
saw between the 150 and 175 is that the 175 is a little taller. Although
we did not measure it the bolt pattern seemed to match. Wouldn't these
be too much carb for a stock Alpine?
