Holden 186 Carb Swap?

[Pat The Rat]

G'day everyone, this is my first post so I hope you can help me out. I own a series 3 ute, fitted with a holden 186 engine. To be honest, the 186 needs a bit of a birthday, but other than that I'm pretty happy with it.
My main drama is the inability of the stromberg to cope with driving up (and down to a lesser extent) hills.
I have read a few threads on this site about fitting strombergs to LR engines, but is there something I can put on my 186 to stop this fuel drama?
I have thought of seeing what baffles can be made for the fuel bowl (not ideal, as I presume they stop 'sloshing', but not much good on a long uphill run). I have also thought of a twin zenith set up (as I presume 1 is too small for a 186). What about a 6 cyl carb from a LR engine?
Any info would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Pat

Hi Pat,
Have you checked your float level as I had at different times both the single throat and dual throat Strommies on my old series 3 (186 red motor) with no probs. Just a thought.

Hi Pat

As the others have said - you need to have the float at a lower level in a Land Rover than used in the Holden cars.

Thanks everyone. When I first got the ute going (I bought it at a clearance sale as a non-goer), I noticed that the float level was set lower than specs for a car. It was giving me a bit of greif then, so I set the fuel level to 5/8" below the top of the chamber. How low should I have it for a Land Rover?
