1971 Etype series II. Function of the throttle body butterfly valves

[Ahwahnee (Geo Hahn 1969 Series 2 OTS)]

Welcome to J-L Tom!

Lots of discussion here:

[E-Type] Five-minute Strangleberg fix?

Roger Los has an XJ6 as well as an E-type and was asking on the XJ forum about the Strangleberg setup those cars were inflicted with instead of twin 2’’ SUs in the rest of the world. It reminded me I’m not sure if I’ve read, or mentioned myself, the dead easy partial fix I’ve done on two of my own Federal E-types. I’ve read lots about removing the throttle plates, removing everything and plugging the holes etc but don’t recall this ultra- quick reversible option. Apologies if it has alrea…

But the short version is that they are better off left in the box.
