the weber 500 and edelbrock 500 are the same carbs .
500cfm 4 barrel .

why not just run a 600cfm holley vacuum secondary carb , these will run
ok on a rover v8 and if its tuned will supply more than enough fuel for
it , they are cheaper than the 390cfm which is normally used on a rover
v8 .

see below EDELBROCK PERFORMER carbs

EDL-1404 edelbrock manual choke 500cfm $ 225 .

EDL-1403 edelbrock electric choke 500cfm $280

you can buy them from SUMMIT RACING akron ohio in usa

www.summitracing.com

you can buy direct from these people , they ship to the uk and have
been for last 20yrs , youll have to pay VAT and import tax and customs
clearance fee , but basically the price will more or less end up same
in uk pounds or less as it is in dollars.

you can probably buy the edelbrock/weber 500cfm carb from REAL STEEL
on 01895 440505 , just quote the part numbers from above [whichever
choke type you require ]
to be honest REAL STEEL are much more up on rover v8 carburation using
american holley and edelbrock carbs than anyone else , plus they stock
all the spares for holley carbs, including jets and chrome parts and
allsorts .

other than that buy either a 390cfm or 600cfm vacuum secondary carb
from REAL STEEL .

you can buy an adjustable vacuum spring kit and diaphragm for these so
you can set when the secondaries open , also can get different
accelerator pump discharge parts etc .

youll need a decent fuel pump with these, either holley or carter
electric and adjustable pressure regulator , facet arent really up to
full throttle accelerating with these carbs .

tons of goodies available for holley 4 barrells from summit racing .


for some 215cu inch buick/rover race parts there is TA PERFORMANCE
..

www.taperformance.com take a look .

 
Ok very interesting I have used Real Steel before so I will give them a ring

Thanks

Did the camshaft etc on my V8 in the trialler and used Rpi - useful advice
over the phone and good service. Would trade again, as they say on eBay.

I use Real Steel for almost all my engine parts (I rebuilt 12 V8 engines
last year!) and I've always found their service to be excellent.

can't say I've had problems with 'em. I've heard a few people complain. But
then again, I've heard a few people complain about RPi as well. Basically, I
doubt you'll find any supplier that's not got *someone* complaining about
them - everyone has off days, or gets something wrong occasionally.

'ere, what's happened to "Llama" David recently, speaking of suppliers?
