Interesting Carb Substitution on a 73?

[zKars]

Whilst perusing the local kijiji ads in my neck of the woods this morning, I came across this "lovely" (cough cough) specimen of a 73.

What is interesting is the carb substitution seen in attached picture.

Anyone know what those came from? They have the visual cues of SU/Hitachi ' ishness, but clearly aren't the usual culprits. Mostly I'm trying to decide if they are a suitable for our application. The car appears to be not running from the text of the ad, and of course makes you wonder if there more of a reason than the need for a battery and fuel lines....

Any ideas?

Hi Jim, Those look suspiciously like Strombergs. From a Jag?

My first Z, a 260, had a set of those on it, Zenith/Stromberg's, something like that. SUs were easier to tune and ran better.

They will work, however, we have helped several guys convert to the SUs recently apparently because of "issues" they have encountered with the Stromberds on British cars.

Thanks gang!

Heard what I wanted to hear, something along the lines of "there's trouble brewing...."

The silly $6000 price tag just lost at least one zero.....

Jim,

Just for the sake of conversation if one were looking at a car such as this that realistically would/could use that multitude of stuff, both big and little to make it a road warrior (read that reliable) what would that car be worth in Canada?
