Though the picture of the carb couldn't possibly have been taken from any FARTHER away... ;) ...I suspect it's one of these:

Hi Mark

I will get some close ups, after I figure the safe way to take off the air intake.

Due you no where the part number might be on it? I can not assume it has not been replace sometime in its past life

thanks

Unfortunately I hove no specific knowledge of Rover carbs. It was only a simple bit of Googling that came up with that link to the various SU carb models used on British vehicles. The SU is visually-different than most other carbs used on Rover engines.


Is that an SU carb?

Yes. Quite possibly an SU HD-8 carb like the one I linked to in my previous post. Here's the visual identification guide, for those with lots of time on their hands: http://joecurto.com/carburetor-library

If I'm reading the "Series 2 Timeline" (attached) correctly...

The 2.6 was introduced in May of '67 with a single SU HD-6... then in June the SU was replaced with a Zenith 175 CD-2S .
