We shall speak no more of this….

Rear number plate mounting looked wrong to me withe the plate obscuring the number plate light. Turns out this bracket is only used on the 73-74 cars with impact bumpers, 70-72 cars don’t have it. The use of a license plate frame with only upper mounting bolts needed an adaptor plate making.

I always weld in a Lambda bung into the exhaust so you can tune with an AFR meter.

Sorry Dave not taking on any new work for the foreseeable, I’ve already committed to enough to keep me busy for the next year. A proper rewire (soldered not crimped) doesn’t half consume the hours.

Fuel system boxed off, Carter HP mechanical pump with regulator and Teflon lined hoses. 75 vac sec carb for now until a suitable double pumper can be sourced.

Bit of warning light action. Low oil pressure warning light, tucked out of the way but in line of sight, shift light disguised as a clock blanking plate, and a charge/ ignition light as the Denso alternator has provision for it.

I intend to be doing a lot less by the time the house is finished Del Boy!

I had to shorten both the top and bottom hoses a touch but the fit is perfect now.

Just need to find a suitable shroud as a finishing touch.

That’s the cooling system buttoned up, gotta have original moulded hoses, I can’t be doing with those universal elephants trunk things…

First single was the theme tune to the Persuaders by John Barry, cracking piece of music. Favourite single? Absolutely impossible to choose.

As carburettors go Edelbrock make an excellent doorstop. Sorry, that’s as constructive as I can manage on the subject.

Correct pulleys and belt fitted, just need a suitable spacer for the fan and that’s sorted. Collector extensions made for increased low end torque.

Rebuilt 750 carb for hopefully a bit more top end. Distributor locked out and vac advance removed. Ignition system is a Daytona sensors CD1 which has pretty much anything you’d ever need built in and fully adjustable with a laptop, far superior to MSD in my opinion. We’ll program our own advance cur...

Front section of super stock springs clamped for minimum deflection, that’s the back end sorted.
