I appreciate the help. Salisbury, not too far away. Derek

Hi, I’ve written a book on the Rover V8, mainly as fitted to TVRs. I’ve been asked lots of times to extend it to other cars graced with the engine. Despite working on a number of RV8s I’ve got little info on carb setups. I'm in my dotage so have worked on carbs over the years and I'm up to...
