Stage 1 V8

Mine would misfire when revved or under load but drive, start and run fine. After weeks of playing with carbs, plugs and timing I discovered that the coil and ballast resistor wiring although looking fine was at fault. I chopped all the spade connectors off and soldered on new ones. It runs like a d...

Hey MattV8,
I've just gone the weber route. Everything is great apart from hot starting. What's yours like. If I switch off and immediately restart then no problems. If I leave it for ten minutes it needs loads of gas pedal to fire..

Also what did you do about fuel return.

Thanks for that they look so much bigger than the ones on Rob's.

Terry I may take you up the offer. Quick question for you on another subject.
I'm getting some 1 tonne wheels what size tires did you fit on them. I only ask as the picture of you and your lad with the LRO V8 (sadly now sold) showed a new set of boots that look a decent size.

Nice truck. I'm thinking of sourcing a CSW body and converting mine. Has anyone seen LRO this month with the Series 2 Truck cab conversion. It's started me thinking.

Eldelbrock and Weber 500 Carb. WOW V8 Noise and superb throttle response. Custom exhaust next. then RPI 4.6 with Stage one heads..

Hi I'm looking at a few engine upgrades for the Stage One. The car has only covered 30k from new. First on the list is ignition. Does anyone have any experience with the Mallory Distributor. You can get it in either with twin points or electronic module that fits in place of the points. Also any ide...
