The CD175's are the early version that was then updated to the CD2
Its a bit late so I could be wrong but the 360 has the zenith version with a 3 screw top rather than 4 screw CD175
The parts are all readily available and even new carbs are available. Stromberg and SU are my carbs of choice
There probably are not too many of B19 360's around, B200 was always with solex (afaik) and it was very short period of time where 360 naming was used with B19 engines, I guess 82-84 being timeframe or close there?
B19E is motor that I think would be something I would like the best, with Bosch ignition, it was only 1 or 2 years in production in 360GLT I believe, of course not carb, but it was similar short time when 360 has B19A.
I'm not sure how many 360's came out with other than solex carbs as there was B19K which I think was with top draft solex carb too? A-engines were supposed to be side draft carbs, like B19A, I believe.
Then before that 2ltr 343 and 345 models might have had B19 with other than solex carbs, but those were not 360 models.
However my head is bit hazy and can't quite remember that all anymore too well, but I think those few years 82-84 being one of the best 300 series cars are ultimately rare examples now?
Of course as yearmodel changes at september that is 83 to 86 models in year model terms instead of when car was sold years I believe. I think, not quite sure, I think that my 343 of -81 for example is more of -82 as it's autumn model and has Solex 32 SEIA REN carb, it was Weber in -81 MY cars I believe?.
Very confusing and easy to get mixed up with all those changes made to cars 'mid year'
83 MY was first for 360 I believe, but one might been able to buy such at late -82.
