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...

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...

For what they're worth, not a lot!, but do have some specific information, here are the files I got with my car. Dave

I got a Fitbit watch for my birthday back in March, so have had plenty of time to see what my heart rate does in different conditions. In ascending order we have Sleeping 55bpm Resting 60bpm Working at computer 74bpm Driving a BMW 320D 98bpm Cutting hedge Friday Afternoon 113bpm s*x 115bpm -...

Visit from my friend Bill with his awesome Ultima GTR 6.2 Litre Twin Turbo LS3.

I am struggling to find a fitting to join this 600 -4 hose to this hard 1/4" tube. Clearly needs a -4 hose end fitting to -4 compression but searched a while snd not found anything. Any help appreciated Dave

Having issues when hot with weak starting, so looking at high torque starter and replacing cables. Renault UN1 transaxle and Ford V6 flywheel but starter seems to be different to the normal RAC407 type but with same 9 teeth pinion. As far as I can tell it is RAC517 The mounting hole pitch...

Changing down when coming to a stop, when I dip the clutch engine speed undershoots and sometimes it stops. Tickover and starting is fine and if I slow right down to <1000rpm before dipping clutch it drops to tickover as normal. I opened the throttle stops to give it more air but still the same...

Sorry, tablet prob, see other thread same title.

Guys, the pic shows the rear guide on my DAX40 rod change to UN1 transaxle. Like a lot of DAX components it could be GTD. Can anyone tell me if it is and where to obtain one? It seems to be a cast in or pushed in rubber with a thin metallic or fibre sleeve that has fallen out so there is too...

A friend sent me these photos. Identify chassis, anyone recognise the car? Sorry about the rotation in one photo. Dave

A friend is getting together a group of cars for a 'club stand' at the Argyll Festival of Performance on 2nd and 3rd June 2018. Based on the Cobra Drivers Club format of GT40s , Cobras and Sunbeam Tigers, if anyone is interested in bringing their car, staying for the weekend with free entry to...

I cant find any info on how to assemble these. Has anyone done these? Getting the lead through the plug is a major challenge but after this and crimping I am not sure whether the brass plug ends up with a 90deg bend in it and exactly how the white plastic sleeve goes in. These are for the ford...

Some great pictures from this years Classic Car Tours event at the Rest! Rest and Be Thankful 2017 Check out the polished alu Cobra! Dave

I have an Icknield rev counter which was connected to the old distributor contact breaker. Will it now work with my Emerald K6 ecu which gives a 0-12v pulsed output? Just in case the answer is no you will kill the rev counter. :stunned: Dave

I looked for wideband AFR gauges, which seemed a little overpriced for what I thought was essentially a 0-5V gauge. (I already have a Bosch WB sensor and controller feeding 0-5v to an Emerald K6 ecu). So, I tried my multimeter, but impedance is too low and drags down the signal to the ecu. Any...

Started to balance Jenvey pairs at idle. Number 5 was reading 3 times more flow than all the others including its brother number 6. I see that the butterfly has some play relative to its brother which explains the symptom. I tried to remove screws holding the Jenvey nameplate on but couldn't...
