[Healeys] HD8

[Randy Dickson]

I bought a couple HD8 carbs on Ebay years back, $225 for the pair.  Not a
bad deal.  The issue is as other have stated, the float bowls are parallel
with the carbs and the ones for the Healey need to be canted slightly.  The
carbs I bought were from a Jag most likely.  I found two Healey float bowls
that are correct.  If I'm not mistaken, I should be able to put them on my
BJ7 once I get a 2" manifold.  Right now I have three HS6 carbs on bored out
to 1 3/4 manifolds which work......sometimes.  I guess that most use HD6
carbs for this application.

Gergo,

My XK 150 has 2 HD6 Carbs (1 3/4"), although admittedly it's way
undercarbed.   It's a 3.8L with some hopped up cams.  

 Are you upgrading to HD8's  or do you have a triple HD8 setup currently?

I've been toying with the idea of upgrading to HD8's.
