Bainzy Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Thought this was a really nice car, some of you may have seen it already:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC7TL_ym-cQsounds like it still has quite a bit of grunt! Can't help but wonder how the close proximity of the fuelling to the hot exhaust affects running, but it's certainly a very seamless looking installation.

gilesdive Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Very neat installation......at least I realise I would not have the patience to do that, but can admire those that do.I like the way the SU carbs are kept on, if just for aesthetic reasons. First glance and you would think it was fairly standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Not really my style but beautiful installation— not sure about keeping a dizzy but then I guess there isn't much you can do to disguise that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With six cylinders you need to keep the distributor to distribute the sparks. Technicaly this is not a problem untill reving to over 8500 rpm as then the spark from a single coil starts to weaken, as my hard cut limiter is set at 7000 and my crank would be lying on the road at eight and a half this is not an issue.

James Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Purely from a reliability point of view I prefer the idea of a coil firing directly on to the plug than going through a rotor arm that's spinning around - less stuff to wear out etcI wonder what ECU he's using.

Richard B Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Would be nice if someone made a coilpack that looked like a Lucas dizzy cap from the outside and fitted inside a distributor body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
