well i went and looked at the belgium rover 88 series 3 and it looked all good, and i bought it so i am the proud new owner of a 1975 series 3, woot, it runs but has a knock, that i think is either electrical or carb tuning it is running rich, the exhaust smells gassy
i am bringing my rover home sunday
thank you for your help everyone who helped me in my decision
im using dial up internet, and am out of town, dial up sucks by the way
