That Swifttune SW5 cam is a funny little cam, quite mild really but in the smaller under 1 litre engines, if you manage to get the combo right they seem quite good, but not so much on larger capacity A series engines. So 60 at the crank should be around 50rwhp
You'd have to be happy with that--

Thanks, this is all great info. I’ll let you know what I end up with.

The part that needs lubricating is my brain. Took the entire windshield apart and when I started to put it back together, I could not remember where these parts went.
Help!!!
Thanks,

I never understood it either. The replica is probably easier to maintain but they sure are ugly.

The tracking is OK and the car drives fine. Self centering seems OK.

The couple of mm I refer to is the distance between the track rod end grease rubber and the wheel, see the photos att to 30 Jul post; RH side is fine, its the LH side that is borderline on the wheel rim

All I am really bothered about is it safe ie would it pass an MOT - if the TRE rubber is contacting th...

Engine is 948cc with standard flat top pistons.
Ported head done by Peter Burgess.
Swiftune SW5 camshaft.
H&H electronic ignition.
Maniflow LCB with 1098 stainless exhaust and silencer.
Twin HS2 carbs - now hopefully matching!

Think compression ratio is about 10:1.

Measured cylinder pressures and all bang on 180 psi.

Have an electric SU fuel pump (m...

Les,

As a reminder what is the size and spec of the engine to put that power output into perspective?

Magic--thanks for reporting back
Had a jag doing that slight offsong thing on very light initial throttle and it ended up being one carb's throttle linkage just slightly out of sync. Doesn't take much at light throttle to show up. It was spot on at idle but one carb was just slightly getting left behind as the linkage initially opened them up. couldn't pick it by eye but the airflows were sligh...

Had my Sprite tuned on the rolling road yesterday. Ignition timing was miles out! Even though I put distributor back in exactly the same position as it was prior to fitting new ignition module.
Carbs were running rich, which I knew anyway. Plugs were always black and sooty. Plugs now look perfect.
He asked me if I knew that my carbs were not a matching pair - news to me, were on the car wh...

Firstly fitting hazards to a 72 would involve much the same work as a 67 as UK cars didn't get them until the 1974 model year unless a V8.

Updating the column stalk is probably heavily dependant on the steering column so it depends on whether your 67 is a Mk2 or a Mk2, both from a mounting and a cancelling point of view.

From an electrical point of view the indicator wiring was v...
