Took out 2 plugs earlier and got em nice n hot with blowlamp then she fired in 2 then picked up after few secs and started firing on all 6..
Took her out for a nice lil blast around the block pulls very well. Also tied viz flap open so really can feel the extra poke above 3k esp now with the X pipe.
Do need to re do the blow at front of xpipe as its has worsened a bit... but thats a job for another day.
Was gpnna do springs today but decided its too dangerous to do on my iwn with my pony axle stands and uneven ground.
Also may have slight clearance issue with back boxes and springs but if needs be ill whack the boxes with a mallet lol
Undersealed the odd green wgeel arch and New weller caps fitted today ....ImageImageImage

Bit of play time today...
Chopped rings at top of ht lead to give more snug fit into ports and tied the ht leads bit more securely ...
Also working on the open crank breathers...
Got plumbing gear out and some old hose to start to either route back into manifold or vent via catch can?!...

Also realised other day i had left the big jubilee clip loose that hilds flexible inlet tract onto rigid plastic tube before the throttle plate.... may have been adding to crap running when lost a pit or 2 due to ht leads popping off!

So i fitted the boost valve or fuel pressure regulator today as old one could be stuck shut... went in easy ok but on test drive think was 1 cylinder down... b*stard wouldnt start again when got home but 3 plugs i pulled were all bone dry so either lack of fuel or spark now methinks .???ImageImageImage
