Carb Model

[Malsprint]

Can anybody tell me the model number for these carburetors.

They are from a 1980 Sprint but that is of course no guarantee that they are the original carbs for the car

They look like SU HS6, is there any sign of a small triangular tag attached to the top of the float bowls on either carb - the tag typically tell you the variant.
Bodies, bowls, domes, pistons etc. tend to be common to HS6, but the needles and angles of the bowl adapters varies from model to model.

They are HS6 ok, but not original to a 1980 car, they are much earlier. A 1980 car would have had wax stat carbs.

Originally the colour of the jet would have identified which of the three types of non wax stat they were, but over the last 50 years these could have been changed.

Could just be the owner threw away the waxstats when he did a rebuild and fitted the aluminium mounts

No different body also, the early types. This set is of a 1973/1974 sprint.
