I've been hunting for a pair of HIF Carbs - mainly due to the built in compensation for seasonal temperatures (i.e don't have to readjust the dang things every tihe the weather changes). I'm also attracted to not having separate float chambers external to the car with a fragile looking little fuel line between them.
I managed to snag a pair on eBay for around $25.00 and they'll probably be here late in the coming week (or early next week). The seller listed them as from a 71-74 Volvo, but says that they are Su "HIF4" Carbs. I've never heard of HIF4s on Volvos, only HIF6s.

The seller is an MG fan, so maybe he mistook them. So, this brings me to my question. I also looked up HIF4s and HIF6s and the air filter flange on thsi one looks more like a -6 model, but it seems the actual size of the openeing is the real difference 1.5" vs 1.75" (or somethign liek that)
IF it is indeed an HIF-4 what sort of trouble could I be in for? Might not fit at all? Regardless of 4 vs. 6 am I likely to run into any problems using an HIF carb on an Amazon?
And one final question - what's the deal with the replcement Grosse Jets I've been hearing about? It sounds like the needles are replaced with some sort of ball-socket-thing.

You mean to tell me that Volvo makes cars that are *NOT* Wagons?!?
