I have a weber carb on my 71 right now and want to go to the HS4 carbs. I am considering buying a complete set from a fellow memeber. My concern/question is, I have done a lot of lookingaround to find out how the throttle linkage is run, how the fuel is run, what the 1/4 inch ports are on the outboard side of the bowls on the side are (one is the fuel in and the other is???) There are two arms, one is throttle and the other is? Is there a book, video, you tube, anything that shows us dumb (new) people the ins and outs of hooking and running everything to these to make them work? I need pictures.
Thanks
Newbie of MG's

Can't seem to find the good pictures I saved for this purpose, but if you search the forum and/or library you should find plenty.
The two arms are throttle (inside one) and choke (outside one). The outermost / upper pipe connections are the fuel inputs, the other is the overflow / vent tubes (which connect either to the carbon cannister if you have one, or just open tubes to the ground to prevent any overflow fuel from landing on the exhaust mani...).
Attached are two picture i saved (not sure who from) showing the spring connections and how one is installed on one member's car (not mine...).
Hope this helps. It's a good conversion.

Thanks, Ray - I wish! Nope - these are mine before I got them rebuilt by Hap Waldrop...
Boy, that does it, these guys like BobMunch, JimK and BobG have really done it now................................. They are the nicest people but they have made me realize.............that I need more stinking parts (LOL) for my carbs, dang. Anybody have the three springs and a choke mount/arm laying around? :D What nice people.
Thank you so much for the information and pictures. I will place an ad in the trader for springs and choke arm.
Thanks again guys.
