Just read through this whole thread again, shame it's taken so long to get to this stage but when it's out of your hands there's not a lot you can do and it's so frustrating lol
Top car though, nice to see a different engine conversion being done.
Thanks for the comments guys.. for me, at this time, it has been many a things over last few months..
Anyway; i feel compelled to carry on..

Today we got it manageing to idle on its own which was cool and i moved the car around a bit outside to position it more accessibly in our lock up.. First time its been outside in ages.. i tried to film some but was disasterous..
We also tried the sychrometer thing out. 3 and 4 read off-the-scale; over 20-30 kgs per hour or whatever it is..
1 and 2 read between 7-8 , ive no idea what its supposed to be; i dont know if looking on the software would tell me or has it be a phone call to bowyer..?
Im waiting for a cheque to clear monday to go and get the exhaust finished properly hopefully early next week, then i can carry on sorting bits out.
So might just give it its first wash of the decade tommorow lol
Dave, it doesnt really matter what the synchrometer reads as long as all four read the same.
There will be a a stop/balance screw in-between the bodies to balance them out.
Once they are reading the same then adjust the throttle stop to get the idle ok.
bay looks awesome Dave!
ad - thanks, ide actually forgotten to ask the question lol.. ill do that before i wash it tommorow..
john- its minus its strutbrace and filters whilst i was trying to balance the bodies.. Its getting 90mm trumpets and a dome PX filter at end of the month - those carb stubby ram pipes arent the best and they only came with x1 screw for each one..
I do have an issue with one of the threads on the topmount - as u can see, in all this doing/undoing i think we've upset it a bit.. summat else i need to look at another time.
the bay looks ace and it will sound even beter!!
dude i so cant wait to get the exhaust fitted properly.. i tell thee
sounds **** at the mo - see photobucket link via the vid on previous page - i video'd it when we moved the cars around.. aweful vid tho
You going down the unit tomorrow then? I'll pop down if you are..
Spot on work there Dave
Given me some inspiation to do a bit on mine tomorrow.
Went to see my engine guy today & 'apparently' Toovey is coming next Saturday to sort my issues out.
As Adam says you need to get the synchrometer reading all the same or i suppose the air / fuel ratios will be wrong.
