Q & A: 76 MGB - Weber Carbs

Dear John,
You have helped me over the phone several times in the 15 years
I
have owned my 76 MGB. Congratsulations on becoming the technical advisor.
I have two questions. I hope to convert to the Weber carb and was
wondering
if you have any used or rebuilt around, and also how to size up or order
the
exhaust maniflod I will need to replace the combined manifold I now have,
and what sort of surgery is needed on the headpipe. I also need to
replace
my heater core as it has been leaking antifreeze for some time now and
fogging the windows. Is there a source for these besides Moss? An
internet
note from Chicago MG club decribed the preocedure (looks awful) and
mentioned a core replacement for around $100, considerably less than Moss'
quote. Currently I have the Stromberg setup and it has started running
very
rich after it warms up (and rough) and becomes impossible to restart
unless
it cools off completely, making me think that the choke is sticking, only
I'm not sure how to get at the choke. Take care, Hal
