Hi all, it's been a few months since I logged on, but it occurred to me that I had solved a simple problem which had puzzled me at first. Knowledge of it might be of some use to others, so here I am. It's a noise that turned out to be a simple rod change linkage adjustment issue. It may not...

A few years ago I decided to convert my Holley equipped engine to EFI. The deciding factors for me were the look of the trumpets. Fuel economy and potential fire risk stopped me from going the Weber route, so I ended up with a kit from Emerald using their K6 ecu and sensors, with Jenvey T-DA...

Mike, thanks for the AP data, I'll check the hole pitch against the existing one. The adaptor is dowelled to both the block and the bell housing so hopefully ok but once I take the flywheel off, I will be able to clock the ID of the adaptor. Measurements I took yesterday. Rotating Flywheel...

Frank, thanks for your valued input as always. btw the call got cut when we went into a multi story park, but I think that your third point was the last. I'll check and report back. Dave

Thanks Mike, all noted, I'll come back with findings as I check them. Incidentally the Kevlar when fitted was no different to the original organic plate, i.e no snatch or judder at all. Hence I wondered whether contamination from moly grease could be a factor. It could be true that the kevlar...

Long time no post, I hope you are all well. Guidance or comments welcome for my judder issue. DAX 40, Ford 302 with Essex V6 Flywheel and 9"- 9 1/2" Borg and Beck. to UN1 transaxle. Back in 2014, I drove the DAX 40 down to Goodwood for the weekend with Classic Car Tours. Had a great time but...

Awesome! I feel so sad for the mantis as is can't get much pleasure out of it since its head is separated from its body. Oh, maybe it can watch!??o_O

That was awesome work James and at an advanced stage so tragic that he never got to see his dream completed. Please pardon my ignorance, but has this legacy been passed on or is it just gathering dust? It would certainly be a tribute to it's creator. Dave

Hi David, I have the same uprights and your description matches my experience. I'm not sure if you just left out the shoulder wrenching effort required to do a 3 point turn. The other thing I've noticed is that on track on sweeping high speed corners it gets quite heavy again. If you have all...

Quite right James, I should have remembered Alistair. I can't express enough how much interest and joy comes from seeing the high level of engineering and commitment to the art shown in your posts, so thanks to both your good self and Alistair for providing that. Great job Alistair :)
