[TR] HS6 Carb Differences

[Terry Geiger]

The HS6's on my TR6 have the three bolt pattern on the air filter side. 
They are ex-Volvo carbs that have correctly sized needles for the 2.5 liter 
engine in the TR6.  Originally they would have been fitted to a B18 (1.8 
liter) or B20 (2 liter) Volvo engine.
