Any Ideas on what type of carby it should be and where i could obtain would be appreciated!

Get a adjustable main jet for the holden carby from repco or autobarn it cost,s about $30 and works a treat

WEBER 34ICH or for earlier vehicles the Zenith but the Webber is still in production and easily available.

My 78 SIII had a Zenith carb, ditched it for a Stromberg off a 202" (?) holden, they are shorter than the earlier models and fit under the bonnet with the original air filter pipe and fittings and base plate spacers, will post some pics if I can find them, also fitted an earlier (L/R) distributor that had vacuum advance, instead of the later models which had a vacuum Retard, went 100% better
