Hi Landdani, yes I know it isn't a sports car, but I wanted to see what I could do to neaten the ingition leads. Because I will continue working on my Discovery Ute after this, I used it as an opportunity to experiment. And it turned out well. As for performance, it is too early to tell, I haven't tuned the engine yet.landdani wrote:Hi, remember it is an old stage1 and not a Formula1 car
A clean engine is a royality.
Did you had to remove the carb. to replace the second hand set of orange cables ? Did you said their was differant in performance ?
An no, I didn't have to remove the plenum to fit the cable holders, it would have been easier if I did, but I managed to sqeeze my hand in and do up the bolts.
Anyway, I was in the workshop again this weekend.
Due to old age, the flexible hose on the clutch had perished, so I got a new one made up:
Also, as I had mentioned previously, I was concerned that I had short circuited the coolant flow through the left hand head by fitting the tapping for the coolant to the LPG evaporator.
To give myself some piece of mind, I purchased a nice valve and fitted it in the coolant line of the LPG evaporator:
I then took the car out and ran it a bit more to bed in the engine. Again the usual deal of going up and down the road running through the gears trying to get cylinder pressures up. Anyway, while doing this I slowly closed the valve on the coolant line of the evaporator until I found a point where it didn't get too cold (ended up being about 30% closed).
Aside from that, I pulled out the window frame and removed the window. I need to go and get a new piece of glass cut to suit the frame and refit it:
And that's it for the update.
