Car sounded great in the vid Sieg. Fans wouldn't have kept those headers from discoloring so it looks like your on the right track. If I were you I'd take that thing to a local dyno tune shop to dial in optimum timing and a/f ratios.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

It's back

Now to fine tune everything again. Carb isn't bad out of the box but float levels and transition off idle need micro-managing, the new starter isn't starting every time after driving......not sure if the battery is a little weak or the alignment is off once the block and flywheel gets a good does of heat.

Nice present to yourself on Pearl Harbor day!

Did you get to drive it enough to see if the motor is stronger?

..........and the anniversary of my 2001 vasectomy

Drove it a little, haven't been able to pinned it and get it up over 4K yet. Supposedly the brakes were bled but they were like an old sponge, re-bled them yesterday and have pedal now so hopefully the weather will cooperate today. My initial impression with an unturned carb and 4 month old fuel is the compression is down a little so it's lost a little snap down low but that could also be a slightly lean transition off idle, 3-4K feels stronger but the 4-6K is an unknown. It definitely didn't go backwards and Sunday through Friday looks like good tuning weather.

I richened the corner bleeds and tightened the primary accel pump a little so we'll see what that did..........provided that starter cooperates.

Look to see if there is a big azz GROUND between motor and chassis -- lots of people overlook that and it will cause all manor of starter motor ills.



Funny on the vasectomy -- I got a shiny new Red Steve Millen tricked out Miata from my wife the day I got mine.
