Hi Byron, thanks for all the info, i really appreciate it. I think i might have a couple of hq carby's in the shed, i'll have a look tomorrow and let u know what they are. Ive have them for about 25 years, i know one has the vent and the other doesn't, both fuel line comes out on the angle. In regards to my car, i'm pretty convinced it's a sandman, it has the ribbed bit at the back for hood lining, it also has like teeth type angle prongs sticking out of the steel roof support behind your head, it has the console mounts which are genuine, door switches, and it has a wiper dwell which i havent seen b4, it has the wiper switch on the dash with a round dwell pot to adjust the dwell speed which you can also push in for the wiper washers, is this correct? Is ther anything else i can look for t confirm? Anyway i'll get back to you tomorrow with th carby numbers
