Just a quick update, yes Derek I have previously set up my carburettors using the SU how to guide and am happy that they are performing close to if not on the money as Volvo had intended, the car drives nicely and returns acceptable MPG.
Having made the previously mentioned adjustments to the rest point and linkage there is a noticeable difference in throttle response but probably nothing else so if I was sacrificing HP's by not managing to open the throttle fully before then my feeling based on the drive to the Ace Café last night is that it was immeasurable!
I'm happy that its as good as it can be so will make no further adjustments until the driveability suffers if at all.
Thanks for everyone's comments/suggestions and help they were invaluable and to echo Alan's comments from other threads within the forum what a valuable tool this place is for maintaining these sometimes fickle old motor vehicles!
Doug.
