So my question.. At the moment the landy has a Stromberg carby on it. I've been told it has been fitted sidways, so the float bowl is in the drivers side of the engine not at the front or rear. So should I stay with this or go to a weber or a Zenith? If so is it hard to change over to ?

Thanks for all your help..

Dayne, I fitted a late model (186 cu. in. and later) to the original L/R spacer which mounts the Stromberg with the float bowl to the front, I had to modify the L/R spacer (stud holes and blend the inner bore to the Stromberg throttle bore size) and modify the accelerater linkage, very simple mod and a great result, BTW the later model Stromberg isn't as tall as the earlier ones and the air horn hose and pipe fitted under the bonnet with no clearance problems. I bought the stromberg from the wreckers for $35, it was in good nick, check that the throttle shaft and bore is not worn (sloppy), Regards Frank.
