The accelerator linkage to the carbs. Not essential but the choke cable would be nice to have

Hi I have the correct set with manifold Iāll sell. Do you have any interest in selling the H8ās Iād be interested for my xk140.
Dan, when you say the correct set what do you mean? 3207F?R or 3305F/R
Yes I will sell the H8s when I get the Strombergs on
OK Dan I see that they are 3165 carbs which are the non emission type prior to the 3207 and 3305. I believe that I make these work for my car. They are just missing the connections for the crankcase breather fumes:-
I wouldnāt want to part with the H8s off my car until I have reconditioned the 3165s and got them working but then I would sell you the H8s. What price are you thinking about for the 3165s and what do you think the H8s are worth? Iām thinking that the H8s are worth more than the 3165s but Iām open to negotiation
Stuart
As I told you the H8s are on my car now and they are working fine but they are too tall and come very close to the bonnet so I want to go back to using Strombergs. I have several photos of the carbs installed on the car but I donāt know how many photos I can load on this forum post. Here are some:-
The last photo is blurred but it shows the carb model number on the rear carb AUC702R
If you want more photos E mail me at sagreenwood@att.net
Do your 3165 carbs have the temperature compensator and the by pass valve? :-
As I have said I donāt want to part with the H8s until have have got the Stromberg set up working. Your 3165s obviously need rebuilding so I would much prefer to buy the 3165s off you and then at a later date put the H8s up for sale. As to how much the H8s are worth. Moss Motors are selling a set for $3499 and Burlen in the UK sell a set for about $2800 so I think that mine are worth $1100. I also have two kits that I bought from Burlen prior to realizing that the carbs were too tall:-
These cost $150 and Iāll give them free with the carbs.

Why would you go backā¦ā¦
Could you use E type SU top hats are they a bit lower?
That looks really good!

If I had the ching, those would look awesome on the Jeep!
Maybe a partial tradeā¦
Now that I looked in my stash, I have a set of the tall-top HD8s, thatāll bolt right onto the Jeep.
Hmmmmmā¦
Because they work, and very well at that, unless like all carbās they have been tampered with by someone who doesnāt know what theyāre doing.
But my friends the dash pots are too tall and hit the bonnet. I donāt see how you could replace the H8 dashpots with HD8 dash pots and expect them to work. They will have different pistons lifts.

This should be a PM.
I have an early set that were used on my 69 Triumph which are the same carbs you need. I sent you a message with info, thanksā¦
Dan I donāt know how to post a private message on the forum. So I suggest that you just E mail me at sagreenwood@att.net and not use the Jag lovers site at all
Stuart
Itās really easy: click on the personās avatarāthe circle with their picture or letter, top leftāthen select āmessage.ā
You are right in that it is real easy to send a PM, but unless you know how it is far from obvious that clicking on the personās photo is the way to do it and I have never found on the site instructions as how to do this
Anyway thanks
Stuart
