  • David Cox20 September 2026

    I have become involved in a discussion about timing and the relationship between timing measured in crankshaft position BTDC and distance before TDC measured in mm from end of upward piston trave.

  • Les Rose19 September 2026

    Very nice. So you'll not bother with filters?

  • William Revit19 September 2026

    Nice one--you'll actually be able to feel the difference driving it i reckon.

  • Nick and Cherry Scoop19 September 2026

    Something has gone right!! Having decided to re-use the fifty year-old rampipes that came with the car, I had a good look at them, and saw that they narrowed nicely to a diameter of approx 1 1/8", but then opened out to the fixing plate hole of 1 1/2" (see the first picture). A tuning modification!

    I hunted round the house and garage for a 1 1/8" cylinder of some kind, and found a plasti...

    Personally i think you're better off with everything sealed off except the hose to the carbs, any leak anywhere just increases the flow up the hose.
