My friends in the RAOC were involved in the production of this program. I think the carb guys will have a lot to say about the Holley conversion and the engine and water pump job will be awfully familiar to some..!

FYI many the cars featured from 40:15 onwards have PRVs in the back just like our beloved DeLoreans... There're a couple of A610s there too with the fabled 3 litre turbo i do like to bang on about :smile:

There are so many nice european cars that us North Americans never get a chance to see. This is a perfect example.

Since the insturctions and contact info for the carb don't appear to be available on the website, here's a link (https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:QeLHKrCUw7oJ:www.renaultalpineownersclub.c om/JL%2520Engineering%2520Alpine%2520V6%2520Holley%25 20Conversion%2520Kit.pdf+&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEEShPHOjwUzuPHTZ3zo8rPn7U27O1bciUa4FuXLsX bawNZwrg-AEVFU-KMBnqf0BbsuNkezLa9mSaA1D5iipqolW4zB1lIrplpLmyyX2Mo La1bpCb2l9j4lsJp61WECB269llCoj7&sig=AHIEtbR2ds5tlb_NPgMIdEe9jFRf0mnUgw) to an archive of them provided by Google.

The Club's website gives some new insight to PRV mods, though since it's referencing different flavors of the PRV I don't know exactly how applicable it is to our engines.

One thing that did appear and was quite interesting was mention of a Rotrex Supercharger Kit. I've not looked that hard, but haven't seen any mention of this kit in the past few years online. Any information on this?
