I have a 1973 E-Type (V12) that had its carbs replaced with SU carbs by a prior owner.

the car runs well, but I believe some of the finer nuances of connecting the various vacuum hoses, crankcase breather etc may have been overlooked or done incorrectly. And since the carbs are not identical to the original Strombergs, the standard Jaguar documentation doesn’t provide the necessary detail.

I assume the SU conversion kit came with an installation and operation manual, but it did not stay with the car.

I wondered if anyone out there who has done that conversion has a copy of the documentation that they would be willing to share with me? Or perhaps knows how to obtain it from the manufacturer?

Any advice would be welcome.

Good Morning;
Just wondering if you've received any helpful replies. I'm in the same fix.

Hi Rob,
I haven't received any replies to this thread.
However, I was able to track down instructions via a very helpful customer service rep at burlen.co.uk.
It does not appear to be copyrighted, so I think it's ok to attach here.
This was very helpful in getting the various vacuum and recirculation hoses correctly attached, not to mention figuring out what to do with the mysterious "float chamber breather pipes".
Best,
Rick
