Don't mean to be a bother, but all the advice has worked so well I have time for more improvements to my brick. This time I'm wondering whether my twin Zenith Stromberg 175 carbs will properly fit the older aluminum one piece intake manifolds available on earlier (pre-1968?) Volvos typically equipped with SU carbs. I live in a warmer climate and want to eliminate the secondary butterflies on my cast iron one piece manifold. Also, it would make it easier to install Skandix (or pre '68 Volvo) exhaust headers. So are there any issues regarding the throttle linkage, vacuum lines, or carb bolt configurations that I should be concerned with? My car is a 1970 142S. Thanks again!

P.S. I would switch to the superior SU carbs, but they're expensive and my Z.S. carbs were rebuilt and have fancy chrome filters.
