I probably should have done that today but did not.
Did you ever read Murilee Martin's take on carbureted points-ignition motors?

That is an interesting article, and I agree with several points that it makes.
I've never been a carb type of person myself. On the other hand, my oldest brother is the complete opposite, so we trade out work: me helping him with his EFI stuff, him helping me with any carb-related issues I have.
If you throw a properly sorted SU in the mix though, I'd almost always rather have that over either of the other choices.
Points don't bother me. I've had enough cars with or without them, that I'm completely without an opinion one way or the other on them.
All told, an interesting article; however, ask me to work on your new car, and I'll probably turn you down. Ask me to go work on your old car, and I'll be over in five minutes. One is a joy, while the other is almost always a task. I enjoy tinkering, and that satisfying feeling of fixing something. That magic just isn't there on a new car for me.
