Finally, got all sorted after working under the hood/bonnet sorting and checking All the wiring from bulkhead forward. Cleaning connectors and adding new parts. Had a stumble for about a month after getting it back together, but today I WIN an as Dr Frankenstein would say, "It's Alive!!!

Went about town to test run, and to the car wash (much needed) Filled it up and drove around more. Not stumbling, pinging or sputtering when I gave a hard excelleration in any of the gears. Everything set right right out of the garage.

will add some new pictures in this post soon

 

Good for you.
Greg

 

It's really satisfying to get all this done and be able to say I did it myself.

enjoy your new ride

 

Well done.

That smile would be a snap worth posting?????.

 

thanks guys, it does boost the old ego, but thanks for the guidance also especially thanks to Grant and Greg. as I take it out for a few day this to check things out a bit more (just an excuse to get her out) then park it I may have a few more questions.
get some things done on the VDP

 

thought I add a couple of pictures, before hood on, and with the hood on with new hood insulation. (only had the hood insulator for about 4 yrs)

 

I add mine !!! I still recall the day my lump was able to move
under it's new power and took a victory lap.


And before it. My "Hot Rod of the 40's". Fired and driven...
Twin straight pipes on a warmed up flat head Ford V8.


And way back, other critters, fired ands driven....

Cheers mate. I didn't realise it was corrugated flex. Looks like a million bucks.
