[ROVERNET - UK] OEM stuff

[Glen Wilson]

David,

I had an SD1 with a Holley and a JWR intake with headers. I never got it 
to run right with the Holley, but I had a hard time not spinning the 
tires. The Carter/Weber that I put on it was a dream to adjust, but it 
never had the same oomph!

What kind of trans is in the car? What year is it?
