Just FYI James, you had K-Jet - D-Jet was a very early electronic system in the late 60s/early70s, very similar to the L/LE Jetronic of the early 80s. Also the fuel pump relay might be white, same as the K-Jets used.

Spark plugs if memory serves are NGK BPR5ES on the carb, i can double check though.
Not sure why I said D jet. As you say K jet.

James.
