Here's a pic of early rangie carbs - Stromberg 175 CD-2. Later models had small changes for emissions.

You will probably find one of the Rangie ones will do the job, they certainly pump the fuel into the 3.5.

I have a sh@$load of em sitting under the house, i remember getting some off triumphs, however most of em came from early Volvo's 242's etc, i also got some twin Su's from early SSS Dato's such as the 180B and 200B, very similar carby.
I used to own a 12 second turbocharged 4cylinder street car that ran a heavily modded 1.75CD stromberg.
