bit of an update, this is for 8v WUR's only - as 16v WUR use a vacuum assit

so if you have an 8v your better of just replacing it with a 16v WUR!

not really sure about 8v's, ill hazard a guess and say it'll be on the side of the block and have a couple of fuel pipes running to it

should just be a bit below the coldstart valve

On an 8 Valve the warm up regulater is on the front of the block just above the distributor. On a 16V is on the side of the block, gearbox end.

One thing if you get a vacuum assist Warm Up Regulator you are gonna have to get a fed for it from the inlet manifold so may have to tap and drill it.

if your currently ok then don't bother! all you'll do is make it run too rich. if you f*ck up the fuel air ratio you'll either a, run too lean go slower and burn a hole in your piston!
or b, run too rich go slower and burn a hole in your wallet!
if you haven't got access to a rolling road you can't set up the fuelling other than guestimating

You can set up fuel/air mixture with a co tester or a gunston colortune.

Or set up the mixture on the road with a air/fuel meter, like I have ;).
