Charge the bloody battery up then!

the brown cables are earth cables that were attached to the inlet manifold

i would just attach them to the engine or chassis

the carbon canaster get rid along with the eletric valve vacume pipeing

just vent the pipe thst comes from the feul tank into the air inlet just rember its feul tank breather so will be feul vapor comeing out of it so no smokeing lighters

ok cool, just the answer I'm looking for. one question though, is the carbon canister there to catch the petrol fumes though ?

yes the carbon canister filters out petrol fumes vapor yes

could always put a lighter at the end of the pipe to test

get the jump pack or leads on it ..

Do a vid so were all sure whats going on lol

Haha mikey put a video on of you getting mad plz, I want to see your red face , a friend is bringing his battery charger over , so its spot on for the morning

1 3 4 2 not 1 4 3 2

Yer Sry lol , deffo what I did. It's on drafts on my phone, that all looks right tho dont it ?

well I'm back from bogg brothers, £70 low loader trip, £80 rolling road session with good old dave bogg.

every thing was set up correctly, just needed fine tuning ect, only extra thing he did was add a spring to the throttle wheel to give it more of a pull back.

car was 100 at the wheels !! frickin frightening when i took it out. unbelievably quick in 2nd 3rd ect.

only issue i have is the thermostat housing / thermostat and cover, it was leaking again !! its all new !! what the hell do i have to do ??

also here is a pic of my custom manifold fitted

Think I fixed my thermostat housing , biut I'm finding it hard to bleed up the rad , Heater matrix , bugger since I removed the expansion tank , any tips ? I put in longer bolts , added washers and a nut on the other end off them for the thermostat housing

Jack the front of car up and leave the cap off with car it running ... Not too much just so its highest point

theres a screw on the top of the heater matrix to bleed it mate

You could use the small outlet on the top of the thermostat housing to also bleed the system.

What's your engine spec for 100 at the wheels?

Just have heard things about their rollers accuracy!

Ok.so I.need the point were I add the water to be the highest point .

Abd , gt cam, bigger bore exhaust , 600 cc carbs jetted to 150 , set up correctly

Ah cool, you going RR day next weekend then?

Were is it ? what day ? Ect ect

Next Saturday
