Can anyone help me here? I am trying to work out which model of SU carbs my 1972 2000 TC is fitted with and before anyone says it, I do know about the ID tags. Trouble here is that they are missing off my carbs. Here is my problem, the Haynes Manual indicates that the TC should have twin HD8 carbs unless it has emission control (more on that in a moment) and provides a very detailed series of diagrams. Unfortunately my carbs do not match these at all. The supplement then mentions later cars fitted with emission control devices, it doesn't identify the model of carb but does show a simple diagram for adjusting idle speed and mixture/jet height via two screws. This appears to match my car, except that mine does not have the emission control nonsence. I want to identify the carbs so I can order rebuild kits but really don't want to take it off the road until I'm ready to do the work. Any ideas please? Oh should add these are not HIF series SUs which I am very familiar with.
