Converting 164 Carbs 140-160 1969

Hello Jack! About your change of carbs, personally i see little use in changing to SU`s, it`s cheap to do but weber carbs will give you better fuelmileage, better responce and provide better finetuning.
I know that there was a conversion kit available earlier for twin 32/36 and 36/36, that was fitted directly on the existing manifold.
Another possibility, but not cheap, is to fit triple 40-45DCOE webers, wich gives great responce especially together with a volvo "K"-cam or similar and a mild head tuning.
