Thanks for that Chuck. That should make life simpler (I think?)

Thanks Guys. Ron that is a good link. Apparently I have a 2G, but the connections look nothing like. I'll attack it with the voltmeter and a battery and see if I can work out which terminal is which. Thanks again

After searching the forum and the web, I'm still not sure how to wire my alternator. I have 2 spade terminals marked 1R and 2F and a stud terminal marked R and BAT. The alternator is a Summit Ford item. The best thread I could find on this subject was here...

Thanks Jac Mac. I'll check the bottoms of the stud holes and retap if necessary. I didn't notice bullet or round ends on the studs, but will arrange if necessary. Still don't understand why ARP supply the washers and standard nuts, if they might foul on the rocker posts. Since the engine was...

Thanks Jac Mac Are these the nuts you are referring to? Bolt these down straight onto the heads? Does anyone make the spacers if I need them, or is it just a case of making them up at home? Why do ARP supply these stud kits like this. Why not supply studs about 5 threads shorter with the other...

I have just torqued up my new ARP studs - part 254-4110 - on my C3 heads. Then I went to check the fit of the rocker arm mounts, and discovered that those very same studs are in the way! Have I got the wrong studs, or is it a recognised necessary modification to shorten the studs to allow...

Unfortunately Bob's contact with the other set of valves never came through after 3 weeks. I had already spoken with Del West who were very helpful, and after the 3 weeks, I ordered the one of each valve needed. They do not match exactly the rest of my valves, but near enough. I ordered them on...

Yellow with black wheels. Sounds like my old car! The new one might have to be a bit brighter.

Danimal The Macc Lads LOL!!! Haven't heard them for years. Had to have a listen again. Found their website where you can download some of their very rude songs, including http://www.macclads.com/No%20Sheep%20til%20Buxton.mp3

Got mine today, Friday. Excellent stuff. Thanks to all involved.

Thanks very much for that Bernard. I will check the valves again and double check with Bob.

Thanks all The first people I got through to were Muscle Motor Sports. Had a set of one of the sizes on the shelf, and getting a set of the other size in for me in the next few days. Sounds very reasonable at $100 for all 16 valves. Bob was good to talk to. They also build Lister replicas...

Hi David I have heard rumours but not seen any plans. Can you send me a copy? I know a number of people who would like to see them! Thanks

Paul you have PM

My cylinder heads are currently being assembled which is one of the few jobs I have farmed out to other people. I don't know what happened, but I got a call today to say a couple of the valves are bent. There were no signs of this previously, so maybe someone dropped them, or stood on them...

Thanks for the info. I think we are stuck with Access, and I think that is OK. Maybe I stressed the network too much. The models are being built by users who understand the business and can use the Access interface, rather than by support guys writing in code. The databases will not require...

After the thread about Vista I wondered if I could pick your brains on a variation. We need new PCs at work for running some rather hefty Microsoft Access databases, and I am trying to find out what makes Access work quickly. We are connected to a network, and obviously running with any...

Re: Chassis #64 due in July Well done Dave. You've done well. I'd like to be driving mine round by the end of this year. How long will it take to get your car through registration now?

I am currently building up my engine, and would like to get the big end bolts tightened properly. Does anyone in UK have a stretch gauge I could borrow. I am happy to pay for any postage which would be incurred, and would return within a week. Any help appreciated.
