The Zenith-Stromberg carbs are 1.75 inch rather than 2 inch on the
late sixties and early seventies Jags. That is why the carb model
designation is a 175CD.

is to use what I learned from fuel injecting the triumph 6 and the MGB 4 cyl
cars I've done to date. I posted the details of these on my journal at
http://www.mgexperience.net/journal/scotabbott, and some additional info on a
triumph site.
> In essence, I've modified Zenith stromberg carbs to act like fuel
injection devices. On the series 2 jags (I have 3 of these cars) there are 2
Zenith Stromberg 2 inch carbs, so I'll do these like I did with the Triumph 6
but use properly sized injectors for the 4 liter displacement. I will also do
the "from below" style carb body conversion so they look like stock carbs. I
expect to use an XJ6 electronic dizzy amd a megasquirt ECU. Yhe converted cars
I've done work very well and were inexpensive to do. The jags will be, too.

parts needed, and the parts are easy to make (I show how I did it)
