Gosh, I'd say to worry about SPICA problems when/if they occur. I really
like the 2L/SPICA on my '67 GT Jr. (long story, which only Scott can relate
with full feeling for the exultation and despair it deserves). It fires right
up on cold and damp Oregon winter mornings, pulls like a V10 Viper,
and gets good gas mileage.

What's not to like? (Other than the jaw-dropping beauty of dual Webers,
of course, but that's gravy.)

When dealing with old cars, I say "if it ain't broke..." and "Don't go looking
for trouble."

Happy New Year!
