trelola1,
The Jaguar Mk1 and Mk2 2.4 litre cars have two Solex B32 PBI-5 fitted.

These are basically the same as the D2 B32 PBI-6 , except the accelerator pumps squirt directly down the throat through a small brass tube , whereas the B32 PBI-6 just pushes more fuel through main jet system.

Externally they look the same . I probably have a set available that would need rebuilding and rejetting to D2 spec.

Over the years I have found that the accelerator pumps just make the engines run way to rich on acceleration. I usually block the pump jet and increase the main jet to compensate.

Geoff
