People think injectors come on a rail with ecu til they see BMW under my bonnet.
Hardly anyone believes me I didn’t put it in there Is standard.

No the V8 in my 75 reg 101 has originaly an in tank electric pump with return to tank from RH carb...ive modified supply to remote electric pump and standard get anywhere fittings (ie tractor get anywhere in the world)...the reason there is a return is so fuel is cooled i beleive...it also had a cutout to pump that operated on oil pressure switch...if pressure too low fuel pump imobalised and yes its a 1975 reg...

The carb'd v8s were a much nicer sounding unit when compared to the later fuel injection units.

Off topic somewhat but I had a Lotus 7 back in the mid-70's and the twin Weber 45DCOE's down draught carbs made an amazing sound!
Maybe down to exhausts...you should see the difference on my 101 to my P38..

But a PITA to maintain compared to electronic ignition. No need to carry spare points and rotor head around any more!
Just a spare EAS compressor, diagnostics, DVM...

You only need to carry spare ignition parts if you don't maintain in the first place!

I had a V8 110 1985 CSW, ended up putting su's on it after getting fed up with the (IIRC) idle control bi-metalic things on the strombergs getting all old and knackered and upsetting the running at low revs.

Can't beat a Holley or edelbrock carb on a V8.

Is the crank on the Rover V8 cross plane or flat plane?
