I've been wondering just how easy is it to actually interchange the Tillotsons and the Zeniths, specifically in terms of the fuel-line positions being the same? Is a roadside replacement of a Tilly with a Zenith just intuitive? A fellow Barner here in town was having starting problems with his '30 Roadster, it's got a Tilly, and I wondered if my Zenith would have been a seamless "loaner".... (I've got a flat firewall on my April '31 Cabriolet). Also, did the Tillys get reconfigured when the '31 firewalls were modified? Thanks, John
