The original SU carb manual is on my site on the Bulletins page as well as a
lot of information on the Technical page,  Fuel System section. One or more
of these has to be correct.

Following the thread on tuning HD8s I realise that everyone has their own
little differences in how they tune SUs. However, I have had a little book
called "Tuning SU carburetters" since 1968 when it was first published by
one of the then great UK car magazines "Cars and Car Conversions." I have
followed the instructions over many years of Minis, Metros, Rovers, Triumphs
and more recently the Healey and found it to give good results. I was about
to scan my copy and offer it around, but thought I would check the web
first. Someone beat me to it at the following link
http://www.bmcno.org/manuals/Tuning%20SU%20Carburetters.pdf

It has a full set
of needle charts and lists all the british car applications for the fifties
and sixties up to 1967, as well as the strip down and tuning instructions.

If
this publication is already known to everyone I apologise.
