Hi Ian,

On mine it's a 34ICH which was supplied as a Weber conversion for a 2.25L
Landrover.   They're fairly readily available from LR aftermarket parts
people in the UK.  It's an easy 'bolt on' fit with just a bit of tweaking of
the throttle lever needed to get it all correctly lined up with the full
range of movement.  Peter Vollers in Woodstock has recently brought and
fitted one so perhaps he can advise on sourcing the correct one in the
States?

When I brought it I was advised to leave the jetting unchanged and my
experience (and others that I know) is that it seems to suit the 2.0L very
well as supplied for the 2.25.  The plugs look good and the vehicle behaves
strongly and smoothly across the rev range with no flat spots etc at all.
Interestingly I've heard of people fitting them to 2.25's and being very
unhappy with them to the extent of changing back to a Zenith; so perhaps it
suits the 2.0 better than the engine it's intended for.

Good luck,
Graham W
