MG Car Repair: 1979 MGB LIMTED, free flow exhaust, carpet colors

Question
WAS THE CARPET BLACK IN THE FRONT & TAN IN THE BACK? THE OWNER WANTS TO PUT DUEL SU CARBS ON THIS ENGINE WITH THE CROSS-FLOW HEAD. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT PROBLEMS THAT I WILL HAVE

Answer
Hi Mike,
I never seen an MG with two color carpets (front/back). Moss Motors is pretty much the Guru on paint and carpet colors so you might ask them also.
Other than what ever your local emission laws are and the cost of that change over, I can't think of any draw-backs to that conversion. I always wanted to do it, except cost stopped me. With a cam, raised compression and a free flow exhaust, it should wake that 1800 up. (Be sure to route cold air to the carbs)
