- I recently did a carb conversion on a '77 Spitfire 1500.
- Installed was a Weber downdraft kit. That is, carb and
- manifold combo. The little bugger runs like I've never
- seen a Spitfire run before. The kit was from Victoria
- in Kansas and cost about $420. It wonderful. Dare I say
- it? Yea, I will. It idles like a good ole' Chevy 327...
-
- The problem on the SU's sounds like a vacuum leak at the
- inlet manifold gasket or somewhere allied to that system.
- Good luck.
