I think next weeks episode they get a book that come out last year about the pinto being the best engine in the world

Ah , so it's a comedy then

Baldrick's great grandson and his boring mates to dig up next century. :lol: You astound us with your knowledge of UK TV shows. I take it you get a lot of our quality broadcasting over there? :D Nice work Nick, by the way. 8-) Andrew. Yeah I been watching reality tv/documentaries like Mrs Brown and...

Awe crap , better go check mine

Or, as happened to me twice, on different Capris, with the 32/36 carb, the metal fuel inlet pipe can come out of the carb. It then fires the fuel in a perfect arc over to the exhaust manifold. Not saying it's happened in this case, but as it has reminded me of the fault, now would be a good time to...

Guys I am still getting these funny voices in my head

Not the wife screeming " ENOUGH Nick" by any chance.

Something like this Nick?

Ha , that's what made me think of it , I too have a 390 holley and it too has an idle circuit on the secondaries, I think from memory that the secondary throttle plate opening is set with a 10 thou feeler gauge down the bore between the plate and throttle bore wall .

The trees in the background behind the truck in the top pic is where the river is ....I can just about guarantee a trout dinner every time I want one .

Here's a thought . The secondary barrel has an idle circuit ( just to keep fuel moving as sometimes the secondary doesn't get used for a while ) and there is a throttle stop screw accessed from under the carb base ( carb off job to adjust ) if this is out of adjustment it will cause idle issues IMG_...

Gotta admit it does stick out a bit in your car with it being so well presented. Im not a great stickler for keeping things standard for the sake of it but I bet if you took B112 to a posh car show ( like Pebble Beach ) there would be a point off ( probly the only point off on your car ) for not hav...

Logically they must be standard otherwise none would have them. They would be the 1st thing some fussy perfectionist would get tickover to remove for him :xd: :tongue: :lol: Seriously tho they must of all had them at new , how else would you lower the engine into the engine bay during initial assemb...

Engine lift point on ex manifold has been removed
And new oil filler cap in bottom pic( no logo )

I like the wheels

you can actually get disc pads that don't dirty up the wheels .... for street cars

yep, we don't fuck around here in the outback . This is my firewood being delivered

Mmmm every web site needs an obnoxious Kiwi......or two

How handy are you ?
I made this press out of a 20 ton bottle jack , 2 tractor 3 point linkage pins and the steel channel . Bottle jack needs a couple of simple mods to work upside down . the whole lot cost less than a cheap 5 ton press.

Put a sticker on your coil , .......cant see how you'd need vaseline for that tho
