    Great read Jon, think I'm going to have to pop in shortly for a quick look at this before you pull it apart again..
    And very good to see you back into the 'older' cars

    I think Mark was referring to the brown box with Sport bits in it that people go crazy for...as in a certain brown nova with sport bits on it that people went crazy for

    So having got the car ready to take out for a drive and some fun once it had all loosened up again, the weather changed for the worse In the end feed up of waiting I decided to put some miles on strapped to the dyno to shake it down.




    I'm now very pleased I did this as it turns out the engine was running very lean. I checked the fuel pressure and it was .3 of a bar down so I changed the fuel filter, which turned out to have allot of muck in it. The fuel pressure was still .3 down, so I then changed the fuel pump..bingo the fuel pressure was back to 2.5 bar.



    The next night I put the car back on the dyno. Whilst its a little better it still much too lean, so first job off the new year is to get the injectors out and flow tested, I would imagine its more results off the car not having run for 3 years the nozzle tips could well be blocked / rusty..all good fun
