The V8 Owners Forum -

I am planning to convert from Strombergs to SU HIF 44s on the V8 in my 1983 110 Land Rover.

I was planning to refurbish a good used pair (with linkages) that I have, but I have recently managed to get hold of a brand new left hand carb. Its SU part number is FZX 2005L, which the SU Company website shows as being for a 1986 Defender; the matching right hand carb would be FZX 2005R. There are various other SU part numbers for the carbs for different model years.

I know where I can get hold of a new RH Land Rover HIF 44 at a reasonable price, but the only part number given is the Land Rover one - ETC7123, which seems to be generic for several different model years.

So, is a Land Rover ETC7123 the same as an SU FZX 2005R ? Even if it's not the same, would it be compatible with an FZX 2005L to make up a suitable pair of carbs ?

Many thanks.

Can you get the vendor of the RH carb to read the ident off the tab attached to the carb?

Chris.

I've asked and am waiting for a reply. Just wondered if anyone knew & if he comes back with a different tag number, what the compatibility might (or might not) be ?

Cheers,

The Haynes SU Carb manual has a full list of carb numbers and their applications, so I can look in there. I also think the Burlen Fuel Systems website has the same info.

Burlen is the same company as the SU Co - sadly they don't match Land Rover part numbers with their own.

However .....

Answer:

L/R part no: ETC7123 = SU part no: FZX 2005R for SU HIF44 right hand carb of the pair on a Land Rover V8.

(Seller of the ETC7123 managed to get a look at the dashpot tag)

Many thanks for the help.
