have you considered ditching the blow through setup and trying a suck through? (im just guessing the carbys are under pressure)

The HIF44 was fitted to thousands of cars in the UK. The trouble is not many of them came to Aus.
You want to be looking at British cars from the early 80s.

The normal HIF44 is not a turbo carby. It is a special HIF44 that was used on turbos.

SU Midel can convert the standard HIF44 to blow-through, but it ain't cheap.

For Bens Sc12 kit you need a standard Hif44...

The turbo version was sealed to take the pressure. You can get the bits to convert from Burlen fuel systems here in the UK. I think they post anywhere.
