Mine are both black

[ANON]

should be two colours, are they off? aud1367?

[MRA]

They should be 2 different colours because the float chambers are on different sides and the 30 degree angle dictates as such. If they are both black that either means:-

1) that the manifold is horizontal and zero degrees
2) the spacer has been butchered, sorry I mean modified

My book says

30 degree LH or horizontal RH = AUD 2062
30 degree RH or horizontal LH = AUD 2063

Or they aren't really a pair of carbs, wouldn't be the first time.

Not checked the other one yet.

So I should have a black and grey one?

Out of interest re RH and LH, is this looking at the engine standing in front of the car or looking at the engine from inside the car.

One other question, what su spanner do I need to adjust the nut for the jets

Not sure of the colours as my book only gives part numbers and description.

Right and Left are ALWAYS as viewed standing behind the car looking forward.

There is a set of spanners available AUE 670 cheap as chips

Hope all goes well

[ANON]

2062 & 2063 are the metal ones.

[MRA]

they are indeed

[MRA]

AUC 1316 Orange = 30 degree LH or horizontal RH
AUC 1336 Mauve = 30 degree RH or horizontal LH

[Petro1head]

So before buying I probably need to double check the angle of the manifold.

Are we saying it should be 30deg

Your manifold is from an MG, that why chambers are hitting the bulkhead, you need the mini type manifold and the correct 30° chamber spacers.

[Dan]

Yes you need to check but if the float bowls are sitting level with 10/20 degree spacers fitted it's got to be the wrong one as above! Also technically you need the right jets for the angle as the jet hoses are different lengths and if the wrong length is fitted it will interfere with smooth operation of the choke.

[Petro1head]

Like I said, I need to do some checking first

Thanks for all the input guys :)
