Re: GT40 Australia #27

Throttle linkages & fuel rails are now made up & test fitted - should go on permanently in the next day or two.

Engine wiring harness is finished - all we are waiting for is the ECU.

Headers are ceramic coated & final-fitted (see pic).

I was going to run the standard Ford dizzy - however, with the injectors & fuel rails up the middle of the stacks, the front injector fouled the top of the dizzy. @*&%#@ !!

We therefore are running a cut-down Ford dizzy with dual trigger rings / sensors in the lower part of the body, 4 x dual coil packs & 4 x igniter modules. About $600 more expensive than the standard dizzy approach, but will give more accurate control of spark (and it fits !).

Another couple of days of bit & pieces, and we should see a start-up - man, have I been hanging out for that !!!

After basic tuning at the shop, we will put it on the dyno for final tweaking
