RE: Carb upgrade for Rover V8

Two Greens
I inherited A Holley on my rover on a converted SU manifold,which I changed for an Edelbrock performer.I could not get it to run right even after a complete carb rebuild.I agree with Wilf, get someone who knows to set up whatever you buy.My car went to Cheng at Thunder Road for a front suspension rebuild and whilst there he tuned the carb and did the timing etc. It is now a totally different engine, Good response and not as thirsty.Personally when I change my engine(next years project hopefully) I will get a Weber for ease of maintainence and performance.Anything looks better than SU's tho.
