Scott, carb models in USA were 50% 50% till 70, then more scarce. The Stromberg is OK for reliable service. I doubt the EFI will get inmoperable due to age, EFI is 35 years old now. The single carb manifold restricts breathing for good power, fair power and medium torque is availiable. Once set up , this carb onlt needs a vacuume diaphram every 5 years or so. A low pressure fuel pump ( -2 lbs. max )is essential, and in europe, a liquid vapor fuel separator offered on carb models, helped with vapor lock in summer. Early 1.85 carbs had easily adjustable main jet, reach belowe the carb and turn a knob, these later ones pictured needed factory press tools, All vacuume venturi carbs need air intake pre heaters due to ice balls forming inbetween the throttle flap and the fuel metering piston. especially in moist humid weather below 38F. Super B motors in europe used two 1.5 strombergs and got 108 HP. verses 100 HP for the single. The experimental H ( high compression ) emmission motor of 1982 had a single 1.5 carb with 14 to 1 compression. airflow was such no choke was neeeded. There are/were many NOS dual carb manifolds availiable online EBAY last year from the super motor applications in europe, a BUT whole super set up from a european salvage yard would be prefferable to for future back up use ( EFI future shakey? ) if power is valued. All carb models needed 3-5 degrees more advance than specifications stated. The intake gasket is hard to find and is different and one will need to cut one from sheet stock. Don..
