[ QUOTE ] There's way too much fuel going in on hot restart. [/ QUOTE ] I had this problem on my car. Try shutting off the fuel pump a few seconds before shutting down the engine (thus depressurising the fuel lines) & see if that helps.

Re: Museum Seeking GT40 Camera Car - \"Le Mans\" (1971) I'm guessing that's Chris Cox of Chapel Hill, NC, who had a Porsche 935 and a Ferrari 275 GTB/C entered in this year's Monterey Historics . Maybe we should send Ron & Lynn to look for him

Re: Museum Seeking GT40 Camera Car - \"Le Mans\" (1971) According to Trevor Legate's book, "...Acquired by the Blackhawk collection in California and passed to current owner Chris Cox in 1995." So that may be a place to start, though it certainly might have changed hands since 1995. Also, I...

Re: Museum Seeking GT40 Camera Car - \"Le Mans\" (1971) According to this thread it was 1074.

I believe that would be Jim Glickenhaus. He's out a Pebble Beach right now, or I'm sure he would have responded himself.

I got these notes from Lee Holman on the auto tranny: [ QUOTE ] The auto used the same ring gear, pinion nad front case but all other parts were very different. This was a product of the dyno test which showed the GT 40 Mark II did not need to change gears that much so why not make it a 2...

Re: Total Flow Rating of Weber 48 IDA\'s From Carburetor Performance by Forbes Aird and Malcolm Elston: [ QUOTE ] Weber does not rate its carbs on the basis of cfm -- with as many as 91 (13x7) different possible permutations of main and booster venturies within one DCOE bore size, which...

We need more Cortina parts suppliers How about somebody like an HPC (International, btw - facilities in US, New Zealand, Australia & France)? Is that what Mark meant by finishing supplies? How about a book/video seller like motorbooks.com or motorbooks.co.uk ?

Would that be www.europaspares.com ? It doesn't work very well without the u

From the VIN number listed, this is a space frame car, not a monocoque. In case anybody cares...

Maybe we need a wiki?

Brake calipers overhauled by Goldline Brakes of Seattle. New Brembo rotors. Getting closer to being able to drive this thing...

I started to make a list once. It's here .

Choke = Main Venturi The 48IDA goes up to 45mm main venturi size. Therein lies the problem.

[ QUOTE ] Build a 331 made 540HP,443TQ@6400,on IDA's with 42 choke,tested 45 no gain!! [/ QUOTE ] Based on the chart, 42 would be about right for that engine. The max RPMs make a huge difference. Extrapolating for Ron's 7,700 RPM, it gives a main venturi diameter of about 51mm. You can...

[ QUOTE ] are 48mm webers going to handle the top end of this thing at 7500 RPM? [/ QUOTE ] Ron, There's a graph in the Carburetor Performance book by Forbes Aird and Malcolm Elston, showing main venturi diameter (in mm) vs. single cylinder displacement (in ci). 342 ci = 42.75/cylinder...

Left front suspension leg with a fresh coat of paint and ready for new Koni insert (OK, so why did I say Spax for the rear? Haven't found any Konis for the MkII...) There was some surface rust inside the tube, so I ran a brake hone down there to clean it up, then sprayed the inside with rust...

Probably. I bought it when I decided I needed something to drive at Larry Miller's new race track . But my first goal is just to get it running...

Visible progress has been slow... NOS Armstrong rear shocks. These don't seem as stiff as the Monroes that were in there, but they're too cool not to use for now. May go to adjustable (Spax) at some point down the line...

Yes. And as I understand it (and I don't live in California, so am basing it on what others have said), you can still register a kit car the "old way" which bases smog requirements on the year of engine. You still have to get a smog test (every 2 years, I think), whereas once you get an SB100...
