I never saw a picture of them, or a post with a link, so I was simply
guessing. BTW, SD1's used them right up until 1981, Rangerovers used
them until the intro of EFI in the early 80's, so not just very early
rover v8's.

Non EFI versions of this engine were made till about '90, and all with
Strombergs. Usually found in things like ambulances.

A lot of the later carb versions went over to SU's though, not seen many
strombergs after early 80's Dave, at least not on a landrover product. 90's
and 110's went over to SU's, as did some of the last of the non-efi rangies
and sd1's, the sd1's having the unreliable choke stepper-motors a-la
maestro! Not convinced about sherpa's/ldv's, worked on an ambulance that had
su's but never seen one with strombergs - not seen that many either way,
could be the 2 I've actually seen the underbonnet of had been converrted to
su's?
