Make sure you blow out the cowl drains, there can be an huge amount of leaves and debris in there.

Yes just wining covers, I do away with them usually.

The likes of Brooklands are still teaching apprentices traditional metalworking skills, the problem is outside of restoration those skills are no longer needed in everyday life as far as I know. Its great you’ve got the people around you that can do this stuff, its going to be a very nice car at the ...

No more rust!

I have a good stock of holes in all sizes thanks!

Chop ‘em!

Before I had a start retard I used a normally closed push button on the live to the ECU. Press the button to kill the ignition while you get the engine cranking then release it and the engine starts.

Vacuum advance is handy for pulling in lots of extra idle advance but given the small diameter caps mopars use, if you already have a lot of initial timing it can actually cause a misfire by firing on the next adjacent post.

Lock it out at 34, that’s enough for a big block. My street driven small block runs best locked out at 36, my ignition retards the ignition by 20 degrees below 500rpm, idle is 900-1000 RPM. The car doesn’t labour starting, runs cool and doesn’t detonate, it has instant throttle response.

Blimey not much left on it now!

I bloody knew you’d mention that!

In my continuing effort to get my car MSA legal for super stock I fitted a battery cut off switch with an external shutoff. Barracuda’s have a gap under the boot lid above the bumper so an ideal place to run the rod through. Just need to run a new alternator lead through to the switch so it cuts the ...

Many a classic car was ruined back in the day either by Webasto fabric ones or later glass “moonroofs” I have a photo of a 5 year old Boss 429 at Chelsea with a Webasto sunroof. It had the roof replaced years later during restoration before going back to the states. Sorry, I digress….

Same thing happened with my first one, someone started Pro Streeting it and it was never seen again.

Lots of original paint and some surface rust, no dramas yet!
