Yep, they're SU's.....they were on the 240s from '70 to '73. '75 and up were fue injected. This car is a '76 with all the computers and injection stripped out and early intake and carbs put in...much cleaner look. SUs are pretty simple carbs.

I'm expecting to see a lot of wear on the hub spokes and ramps and it seems like the springs are getting weak. Guess we'll see when I open it up.
here's a couple pics in case you ain't seen them yet.
