The Buick engine is now back from re-build and is about to go back into the Talago. We now have the problem of how to run the throttle cable to the carb, has anyone fitted a 4 barrel carb to a V8? How have you connected the throttle linkage? Is there a kit you can buy from anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.

I had noticed that RPI do a throttle kit for the P6, seen near the bottom of this page: http://www.v8engines.com/carbs-1.htm#fitting-issues
It is suited to the Weber 4-Barrel with Auto transmission but it may work with your setup, or they may be able to help with alternatives.

Hi Ian
First off there must have been something there originally - do you have any reference photo's etc? I'm assuming this is the set up as fitted as a prototype?
The solution that is going onto both my cars with V8 and Weber 500 is to use the linkage from a 2200TC up to and including the translator bracket mounted on the steering idler, thence to a bespoke cable onward to the carb. I can imagine Rover would have been likely to have done something similar.
I don't believe there are any new stock 2200 TC bits left in the system, but Alan Ramsbottom has some he could sort out for you or you could locate a scrapper?
Regards
Chris
