the carbs are MK2 numbers
manifold is AEG347 with 12A661 as well
Car is very original so i dont see why someone would fit MK1 Stuff on a MK2
I think they were using up parts
Just looking for clarification here (for me as much as anybody)
Looking at the carb specs, the AUD146 went from 1964 to 1970, In the English cars, this covers the MK I and MK II cooper/cooper s from memory (the MK II stopped in early 1970?)
Part way through 1970, the first 1275GTs appeared, using a lot of MK II engine parts and AUD440 carbs. In England, the MK III Cooper S also used AUD440 carbs.
Can someone authoritatively (with references, and yes I know what was done in the Mini assemblies) denote the carb types? I have access to an original MK II Cooper S (English) that has AUD146 carbs in it with AUC870/871 bodies. Arrrgh.
