The older SU dual carbs work OK. The biggest issue with the electrical system is the bullet electrical connectors. The bullet isn’t so bad - it’s soldered on the end of the wire. The connector that the bullet goes in is the weak link. It eventually gets wet and corrodes and the brass looses it’s tension, heats up, and then just gets worse. Unfortunatly there are a number of those connectors under the car in the road spray, lots just inside the front grill, and others below the carpet in a convertible. All places that get wet sooner or later. Filling them with silicon grease (yep - just like what works in a RJ-45) largely solves the issue for good.
