8 is a great number

tAt last, George has all 8 cylinders working, in the end it was just a tiny piece of paint/plastic in the inlet valve of the OS carb float chamber. This is the result of having no filter installed in the original Facet pump. Now I have two.

Took him for a quick run up the road, and am still grinning like a muppet. Not only does he run, he starts on the button too.
The bits I bought from SimonBBC all seem to work great, sadly I had to spend another £40 as I killed the first ignition unit with reverse polarity). Good service too.

Now I really need to get the electrics finished and get onto the road. The good news is that most of the new wiring is tested and working. I shall be making smaller neater fuse/relay board (new chopping board :-) ) and have some ally plate to make the dash switch/light panel.
