Last year, you mentioned you had an SU HIF carb in your shed; is it still available?

it is still there, I will search it out early next week and let you know.
Would that be the same type as the ones that were fitted to the Rover TC. Early 70's? I'm pretty cetain that the one I have came off that model Rover, so if Mrcheerful can't help, maybe I can. Mike.
Sorry no Grimly, my son collared it - and also emptied my workshop of all the other Montego stuff I had as well - for a mate of his who's trying to 'restore' an old 1600cc Austin Montego.
I've seen the car - and wished him luck after pointing out a fair amount of rust in the rear passenger side floor, sill and inner wheel arch.
Sorry about that.

No worries - I half expected it might be gone by now anyway.
No... those would have been the HS6, iirc. The HIF series have an internal/integral float chamber. The later V8s had them, that I do know.
Well, if no HIF can be found, an HS6 will do - must be 1.75" bore, though.
Excellent, thank you.
1,3/4" it is, and it's in very good condition. My email address is valid if you are interested. Mike.
