I can vouch for old(er) Volvo's having SU carbs. Friend at work has
that on his. Well, had it, he's now running webbers, and I can't quite
talk him out of his SU's. Bigger sized ones, 1-1/2 or 1-3/4 I believe.
Can't vouch for the overdrives, but I've looked at them, and they look
the same as what I've seen under some british cars in the junkyards.
