We (IECC) are restoring a 1963 Monza Coupe - 102 4sp - to raaffle at next 
years GWFBT&SM.

I have a question regarding the carbs for this car.

I've had a problem with the rebuild of one of them and was wondering if we 
could use later
model carbs on this engine.

I have a set of 140 primarys that are in perfect (already rebuilt) condition. 
I know they have a
superior design but how would they work on this engine?.

I know there are air cleaner issues but those can be dealt with.

I'm thinking this would result in a better DRIVING car.

Am I right or wrong here?
