Yeh that’s sound advice Tom - I only want a bit more poke than the c.90 I have currently with a more modern auto but it’s not a deal breaker - 150 would be more than enough

A very nice example and from a good home it seems......

Tank and filler neck - get em swapped and save some time!

As above - I had exactly the same 3 or 4 years ago - went down all the usual rabbit holes to find that only a new tank and filler neck fixed it......just crud getting sucked up at random intervals - scary! Has run like a dream ever since........coincidently it passed its MOT today actually at the fi...

Thanks - yeh, that would be a very nice option indeed - see what I can find

I'm feeling the urge for something a bit more hairy - even looking at R32s now!

Nah its a stupid idea !!

Anyone ever tried this - is it even (reasonably) possible.......??

Thanks mate sound perfect - what are you looking for them and whereabouts are you as could pick up if not too far I'm in the Midlands halfway between Brum & Manchester

Many thanks for the tips - I will check accordingly and report back - and a good logical point re the balancing of the flexplate.

Yeh good call - I’ve had such a fuelling issue which I put down to vapour lock - I removed the restriction I’d put in the return side of the swirl pot and all seems ok ..........for now!
