How can a PI run on after the fuel pressure is turned off? I suppose it could run for a couple of seconds? :-/ What mpg are you getting, is the metering unit ok? Torn diaphram or blocked return pipe to the tank from the MU? Right distributor? timing ok? advances ok? sorry in brain dump mode!

187 wrote:Mine did have an su helper pump but I found no difference with it on or off so I removed it. It still uses the original filter. The pump and filter are below the tank [just] . You don't say what pump you have, but the Bosch pump does not like having a pump in front. I think in Estate or custom installations (where you have not got a head of petrol) then a lifter pump does help. If running a Lucas pump then a cooling ring is advantageous.

But this is the usual escalation; People will start ignoring the bright lights. 8) Whats next, brighter lights, flashing strobe brake lights when stationary. :X I know someone who drives at night wearing sunglasses, as the car lights are too bright and the can get a migraine.

It was designed in a more considerate age; when people did not want to blind the driver of the car following them, through an excess of bright lights. Nowadays the rear of a Volvo, Honda or BMW at night looks like a left over from Star Wars or Star Trek.

Either disconnect the earth wire; or if the terminals are corroded, join the corresponding wires together with a soldering iron.

What year GT6? MkI & II were chromed, I think the later MkIII's were black. The part is not painted but rather a metal coating.

Yes, Steel is hard work to deform into the correct shape for the ends and quietly rusts away in hidden locations. Copper is more malleable but can quickly work harden and fracture from repeated bending. Kunifer is also easily formed like copper, takes longer to work harden; but stays shiny for longer ;D I tend to use Kunifer now (with brass ends)

Depends on the spec of your engine. If you are staying 2litre you could rebuild your gearbox with an uprated GT6 mainshaft from Canleys and fit a J'Type OD unit from a Saloon/Spitfire/Dolly etc. With the 2.5 PI engine, I've got an 1850 Dolomite J Type gearbox fitted at present (reverse by 3rd), its an 1" longer than a GT6 unit. Although the plan is to rebuild this into a GT6 casing with a CC adapter. Means I can keep reverse by 1st and it will then be a standard length.

My only suggestion is that test 2 seemed counter intuitive at the end, I think a lot of people (myself included) went wrong there. If test 2 had flowed a bit better then maybe there would have been time for test 4? I wonder how hard the course was in a big saloon without PAS, Maybe I'll enter the MkI PI next year ;) Can the results be post on here? -
