Hi Kevin Nope - still no joy. The "expert" reckons he can solve it, but he's down with a virus, so the HEI sits. RR is still running OK on Joe Lucas, and that may be where I leave it. I'm seriously thinking of buying a SWB Landcruiser Prado turbo diesel. Way cheaper to run & not all that behind in performance. Hamish --Previous Message-- : It's been a while, so my guess is that : you've solved the problem and are now : happily motoring with big sparks from : the HEI. : My experience is rather different to : yours. I used a Buick dizzy and : therefore had to grind away the inlet : manifold. Had to change the six : pronged star to an eight, then shoved : it in. Ran perfectly, even though I : tuned it by ear. Never had a backfire : after that. She started every time : without fuss ... I became a convert to : big sparks. Without experiencing any : problems, I can't offer any advice, and : I'm guessing everything is fine by now : so you really don't need any more : input. (Just a thought ... I did get : rid of most of the original Rover : wiring and made sure I had a constant : 12 volts to the dizzy all the time) : Keep enjoying. : : :
