and if i can find some 40s, i will snap them up


Got a pair in me loft - came off of a Nova 1.3 SR so should have the right jets for your car.

The Nova was bought new from the dealer with all the Irmscher stuff on it.

I bought the carbs minus the trumpets and manifold about 14 years ago to put on my Escort, but never did. They've sat in the loft ever since.

They'll need an overhaul and trumpets and there's a little alluminium cover plate missing from one of them.

Should work well once serviced as they were only used on the car for about four years and the girl who owned it took 'em off and put a twin choke on instead because she was using it everyday and they used too much juice for her.

Cost me 80 (and that was when 80 was worth something - about a tenner more than me wages if I remeber correctly), you can have 'em for 50 if you want mate - anything for the cause.

Trouble is, i'm darn Sarf.

You could always wait until PVS and I could get JR to bring 'em along if you're going.

Coolio sunshine. I'll make sure he knows and remind him closer to the date.

If you do the same we should be ok.

BTW, It must be the name Rob - NORTHampton - bit of a red herring me thinks.

I wonder if Southampton is in the north
