The problem was just the car shuddered when idling, and used to occasionally cut out when started, but only when hot.
Emissions were perfect, drove perfect, ace on fuel despite being and auto does around 35/40mpg, averages 460/470 to a tank before fill up.
Piccies of the car + engine, just like piccies.
My dad is the same as you he prefers the carbs, and points etc, oh and starting handles, man in front with red flag!!
He has a V8(4litre) xr4i though!!, did not minde me putting the engine box electrics etc in one of those, even made me cut and shut a ROVER SD1 exhaust(ss) to fit his 4i, we are on SU carbs but going injection with emerald ecu soon.
