Always though one of these would be nice, then I thought of the A Team, so it was time for a full season of A team re-runs :D

Haha I have thought about efi but that would require a head swap, plus cutting floor to fit it, so it stays as it is till it goes v8, cut it once!!

The strommy's in the CF were the best ever made, this one with have an 1" 5/32 cable mount bracket on rear, only 1 5/32 ever made with a cable bracket option, & the latter with the 202 has the alloy
base strommy like the UC / HX/Z, both CF carbs had the best out of the box fuel curve ever.
The latter one has an alloy 2 stage p/v like all the alloy base carbs, but the bedford version has an extra plunger that linked from the pump to the p/v, forcing it open at full throttle, so the high vacuum high rpm didn't
close the second stage p/v hole, only strommy ever made like it, & the part throttle metering transfer ports were all brought closer together, which gave an idle transfer / cruize mixture
richer than any other strommy, no lean transition like every single other alloy base carb ever made, for a motor that was rebuilt with a small cam. the cf bedford carbs were a perfect choice
over the stocker every time.

Sorry for the off topic rant, but don't be throwing that carby if you do go injection.

It's going to have an injected 5ltr in it before too long ken, you can have first dibs on the strommy if you want ;) I'll probably keep he block for spares for the race car, otherwise I'll be turfing the rest!!!

Nothing wrong with your info it's on the topic ;)

Well I've spent a bit of time on this today and it's gotten to the point where I've decided that it's just not going to be feasible to get it registered before starting on any of the mods, it would just require spending money on things I'll then be throwing out, so I'm going to just move it to my place once i rid the other cars from the shed/yard and then rip straight into the v8 conversion!!
