What do you consider "high RPMs"? How hard will the long block rev comfortably? I mean, you'll never break anything, but i'm just wondering at what RPM the engine goes "hey, i can't breath!"
I'm watching. :)

Fitting that manifold took a lot of time, whoever designed it never actually tried to intall it.
About 6 hours of trial fits and clearancing to make it fit.:duh:
I'm sort of running out of time tonight to install the fuel pump, although I'll try to do some prep work under the back of the car.
Still got to finish making the throttle cable. (It's a modified $2.99 Huffy universal brake cable from K-Mart.)
They're Dellorto DHLAs by the way. I believe they've passed through a few hands here.
I'm going to the Group 5 sprints at Sandown on Cup Day, with some luck and a lot of work, I'll be on the track rather than beside it.
Pete
Delortos.. Aye?
Very clean, Pete. Nice and tidy. Should have a bit more top end oomph now! And sound.. Well.. Infinately better.. :biggrin::bowdown:
thats awesome Pete, will have to come around and have a looksee :)
whats jet's and stuff are you running? Also what fuel pump are you running?
Yep Dellorto DHLA 40mm. Freshly remanufactured by the Carby Shop. They were well beyond just "putting a kit" through them.Quote:

Still got to install the mech advance distributor too, which will mean losing the electronic ignition for the moment.

Time to go have a look at the fuel pump for a bit.
Pete
Oh if you're still wanting that dizzy, Tony is on the job looking for it. They moved some stuff around and put it and my ignition module somewhere and can't find it.. :duh:
where's the Carby Shop and how much did they charge you Pete?Quote:
