On a carb setup the release valve if for the case of a backfire so the 1L plenum of fuel charge doesn't turn into a grenade or damage the supercharger with a massive back pressure. I've seen a video of a type 35 Bugatti being given a good squirt at night. There was fire spitting out the exhaust and out the hole in the bonnet which the release valve pokes through. The Delage GP car that was out at the Skope classic apparently has hydrauliced on an occasion due to flooding and the fuel pooling in the blower.

I don't think you're using that term right. But I can see what you're getting at. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz_resonance Maybe slightly more accurate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kadenacy_effect

An old barry told me about this. Apparently it's reasonably accurate. I've used it a couple times for dreams of belt driven fun but never gone through due to being poor. Though I feel a supercharged trials car may be in my future with that amr500 price. http://performancetrends.com/Calculators/Supercharger-Boost-Calculator/Supercharger-Boost-Calculator.php

When I did the crown the cert guy said if forced induction is involved driveshaft hoops are required. I've also learn't from experience that the universal kits from BNT are not a good fit in small Jap trans tunnels.

EJ blocked @datto_610 in. How'd you go getting out Greg? on another note the red stingray wasn't with us but I imagine an older gentleman by the name of barry owns it as evident by the extra cushion on the drivers seat.

Na they plugged their fancy Bosch one (wired) in. 11 for their time.

Went to supercheap, cost $11 (on sale apparently). EGR issue. Probably valve is gummed up because nana car. No issue then.

I do recall looking in the filler cap when you first picked it up and saying "eww that looks a little gummed up in there" -

Sump bung is too rounded for any type of socket or spanner. -
Fixed. You'll probably get lichen growing on your fence now after waterbalsting the car off. From memory the engine is 9.0:1 so a bar or so of boost should make it a little more lively.

These Plus this should make it go a little faster. Yes I know they're the less desirable flat top carbs but they'll still be better than the downdraft. -
You thinking of buying the one at your work @Seedy Al?

Probably nz spec got povo options.

I thought they went to irs with the 60 series. as far as I'm aware the only IRS f series diff was in the altezza and it's not called an f series.
