It’s well worth running a fuel bypass/return on a carb engine, & there plenty of threads on this subject.

Thanks Fred, that's a great idea. I've had a look at a spare rack & your idea makes a lot of sense, not sure I can fit the rack in my little Myford though :) I'll give the Powerflex bushes a go & see if I get any improvement, if not I'll start making swarf! Thank you to everyone for your...

Thanks Murf, do you know if the Powerflex bushes are any stiffer than the stock Ford items? Kind regards Julian

Thanks Brian, will look into those. Kind regards, Julian

Gentlemen, Does anyone have a source for some solid rack mounts for the Cortina Mk3/4/5 steering rack used in the GTD chassis? Thanks in advance, Kind regards Julian

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing. I bet there are a few forum members with slot car tracks! Kind regards Julian

Gents, Just reviving this thread to see how your GPI racing radiators have faired after a couple of years use? Kind regards, Julian

Howard, This is the most clear and concise description of how a cooling system should work, backed up by experience. Thanks for taking the time to post! Kind regards, Julian

Andy, 12000 miles in 5 years ! That's fantastic, you're obviously getting a lot of use out of the car & that amount of miles is a testament to the build quality. Great work :) Kind regards Julian

Brian, that's fantastic ! You've done more miles in one weekend than I've done in the last 12 months :) Kind regards, Julian

How very sad, she succumbed to Motor Neurone apparentley. https://www.mndassociation.org Thank you for sharing.

Hi Nick, I got lucky, I found a private sale nearby. It had been fitted but never used. There are a few in the UK on Ebay if you're looking for one. Kind regards Julian

Thank you all for your input & suggestions. My new digital 6AL is installed & fully operational. I would have liked to send the old unit back to MSD for repair but shipping costs & import duties add a lot to the repair costs so it was cheaper to source a new unit here in the UK. The digital...

Thanks Brian, I appreciate your input. To clarify, I am not mixing UJ's with CV joints. Apologies for any confusion caused.

Thanks Jac, I appreciate your clear explanation. I apologise, I didn't word my post very well. I should have made it clear that the half shaft has CV joints at both ends. Do the two CV joints either end of the half shaft need to be aligned with each other to avoid phasing? Or am I right in...

Dear All, When assembling CV joints on half shafts, should we be mindful of phasing? Does phasing only occur when using U-joints? Am I right in thinking the Constant Velocity joint eliminates phasing, regardless of its orientation? Thanks in advance for any input. Kind regards Julian

Thanks all for your input. After a call with MSD tech, it was established my long serving 6-AL had failed. A replacement digital 6-AL has resolved the problem. Kind regards Julian

Thanks David, very interesting. Looks like the 6-al will need replacing or repair.

I have heard of other failures but I should add my MSD ignition system has run faultlessly since I installed it 16 years ago, I've driven numerous track days, sprints etc. Sorry if you've had a bad experience with MSD, I guess QC isn't what it used to be.
