Live and learn. I didn't know that. It might explain why my B carburettor cuts out when braking to a stop. The problem with a RHD car is the lug on the intake manifold for the ignition advance mechanism which is present on an A manifold but missing on a B because they supposedly had automatic advance in the distributor.
I am guessing here but does the change lower the intake or raise it. Details would be very welcome.
