Camshafts and Compression

Thanks Bewy, great stuff. I have done a lot of the things with the carb you’ve mentioned there, I have got the acc pump in the outer hole, just not in the photo. I have a pair of 100 jets, I’ll put them in, take out the 103’s. I have the floats set at 29/32’’ not 1’’.

I did have an issue with nozzle drip at idle at one time, ended up the ‘economiser’ orifice in the air horn was blocked. I fed a thin nylon guitar string through there to clear it. This TQ has the 3/32’’ holes in the throttle plate to by-pass the air, probably because it’s off a 440? I also don’t use the 1.25 turns on the air door, usually I go for 1.75 to 2 turns.

I’m a bit torn on the lifters ATM, I’ve always wanted to modify an electronic distributor to have two pickups in it. The original one for full advance, then the other retarded 4-5 degrees as a starter pickup. Slave a relay off the starter solenoid, then the distributor goes back to full advance once you let go of the key. Easier on the starter.
