    Will do. I’m in too minds to purchase a filter king regulator before the rolling road to see if that helps with fueling.

    Are you using an electric pump or mechanical? Wouldn't bother if its a mech pump

    Mechanical should supply more than enough and is fine unless your revving it to 7800+
    If Carlsberg did Motor clubs, then IDMC would probably be the best motor club in the world.

    i didn’t use one on my last Nova but it ran much smoother. I dont want to add or change anything after it’s set up and through it all out. Have a in-line filter anyway so should be fine.

    So just working on the small list of niggling jobs with this before the RR.
    First was the gear linkage. Not been happy with it from the start, so when I read through the rose joint thread it looked like I hadn’t adjusted the long bar enough (read it as 190mm from centre to centre of the cup joints?). Mine isn’t rose jointed but it never had a standard plastic rod when I got it with the car so went and bought the metal one. As I had nothing to compare it too I assumed it was screwed all the way in!.

    Second job I still cannot figure out yet is the central locking. For some reason the solenoid engages the motor to lock but won’t unlock?? Any thoughts?

    Third is my distributor. Around a month ago I replaced the cap with a new unbranded one (all the same really I thought), but I had been getting electric shocks from it!! This would make you jump alittle. Thought the gearbox earth strap may be bad but tested that and no change. I’ve just put the old one back on and it’s fine again.
    Checked it in the dark with a torch for a hole but nothing there. Even saw a youtube video about checking for a spark leak in the dark but again nothing. Just guess it’s s cheap one.

    Thats all for now

    Because I’ve tested the the circuit with another relay and motor it only comes down to the loom. I remember when I first got it a few years back I done some repairs to it so will go over it. The windows are fine tho which is something.
