    Exhaust gaskets

    Plain clear silicone sealer wiil do the job fine. There's no need to buy motorsport/aerospace/NASA endorsed hi-temp stuff.

    P1001

    I know Kent are still about and they used to do the BRM mag wheel castings for various parties. If the wheels are period then they will be suitable for Trailer Queen duties only!

    Aluminium windsor block ?

    As I understand it you are speeding up the flame front so you require less advance in the timing. However nowadays there are rather more economic ways of achieving the same effect than the complications of twin plugs.

    Aluminium windsor block ?

    'I guess the twin plug idea just comes from looking at a bunch of Alfa GTAs and porsche 911s....maybe it doesn't add much (half a point of CR??) but it does look pretty cool. Not sure where I'd find a dizzy cap with 16 take offs though.... ' Twin plug heads only make sense with hemi...

    More Global Cooling/Warming/Change hoax.

    Glacier recession and glacier melt are not necessarily the same thing. Many ot the glaciers that the IPCC and its confederate ngos (wwf/greenpeace etc) point to as examples of GW are, infact, sited at elevations where the temp never gets above freezing - so melt due to GW is not the reason for...

    Electric Power Steering

    MG TF vvc unit is speed variable lightweight electrical . The other unit (same motor as MG) that is common to use here in the UK is the GM Corsa B or C . They can all be found s/h for less than £100 and interface boxes with adjustment (pot) are about £30. I believe that Fiat also uses this...

    More Global Cooling/Warming/Change hoax.

    It is a small group of scientists, but they are the ones who lead the science, select papers for publication, review each others work and hold the editorship of the various chapters of the IPCC AR4/5. Frankly they are a cabal and wield influence out of all proportion to their number.

    More Global Cooling/Warming/Change hoax.

    'doesn't change the fact that there is a large amount of good data and that the vast majority of scientists involved in this debate on BOTH sides try to be objective as they can' Simply not the case. There is no good data; that is empirically derived from observation. All the Global average...

    Re: 4 Cam 255 Indy Engine out of chassis #103. Looking for additional info. FAV developed the angled IDA intake on later GW heads around '67, so this engine would seem to be '67 or later.

    289/302-Wet or Dry sump Best?

    'Some early dry sump setups still used the OE pump as the pressure section, instead of having a pickup tube & screen the pickup was brought thru the side of the pan to the bottom of the oil tank, then a two or three section scavenge pump would be belt/chain or direct cam driven' Early Ferrari...
