Posting in this thread, but that '56 is SO AWESOMELY MINT!!!!!!!!

4k carb FTMFW Gutted. Fingeres crossed you can find something cheaper!

Hold in there bud. It'll turn out mint! Will u hunt down another factory ecu or use an after market one? Or just chuck some filthy carbs on there ftw!

Jaguar V12 Is ~700 an ok price?

I am doing a manual conversion and can either: Buy An after market alloy flywheel for $700 Or convert my flexplate to a flywheel by adding a friction surface etc Does anybody know the costs involved in converting flexplate to flywheel? Would it cost more to convert my flexplate to a flywheel that getting an aftermarket one. Original flywheels are out of the question as they are rarer than hens teeth. Also, will any, say, 10" clutch plate work on any 10" pressure plate ? eg. Supra clutch plate on a GM pressure plate?? Chur

Tis looking good. Cant wait to see it!

Thats a rather substantial looking engine!! Gonna be so mean when its done! Will you have to get it certed?

Thats a bummer about your exhaust

Gosh! Like a bomb going off

Mean

Firing multiple injectors at once works fine. My jag has a linkv3 and fires 6 injectors at a time. Fuel isnt wasted as it does this once for every 4 revoloutions. Are there mega gains from firing the injectors one at a time?

Pillarless FTW!!

Gee this is going to be tuff when its done!!!

It rocks. Love the mags. And yea, the fishing rod is a mean addition!!

Did you actually swap it?

Nice color. Looks really cool!!

It was the spark plugs!! Put in some hotter burning plugs and its dandy now. One of the plugs mighe have had a crack in the insulator or something. And was using more juice than normal. That would explain why when i took one lead away it would fire on that plug as the ignition would only have to run 2 plugs per cycle. Still weird tho

*Two stroke Boe *Tripple carb, tripple cyl *filthy reed valves (hideous flow restrictions) * Im pretty sure the carbs have a balance line between them.

Cheers for your help. Will try alternator/coil tomorrow/today. Hopefully that will fix it. Or else im back to square 1.

tried another dizzy cap. And another rotor. Does the same thing. No vacuume lines boe. Only vacuume line is to power the fuel pump (chainsaw stz). Ill change the alternator and coil over tomorrow to see if that changes anything. But still doesnt explain how it runs above 2000rpm fine

The fronte is doing something really weird. It only idles on 2 cyls. At first i though it must be an idle jet on one of the carbs as it runs on all 3cyls above 2000rpm. But the fucked up thing is that it will idle on ANY 2 cyls. If i take the lead of one cyl it wont change the Idle at all. If i take a seccond lead off, it stalls (fair enough, only running on 1/3 of cyls). If i take a lead of a different cyl it will still idle. So as long as there are 2 leads on it will idle and haveing a 3rd lead on doesnt change a thing. Any 2 cyls with leads on it will allow it to idle. CRAZY!! . So it cant be a carb thing (as all cyls will idle fine, but only 2 at a time). And i replaced the rotor and dizzy and its still the same. Does any have any ideas cos i'm baffled.

True, just went thru the threads looking for caboons lancer. Should have read title properly. Cos it certainly wasn't an EX i saw, twas the green LA. Oh well, its the thought that counts And it still looks tuff

Chur boes. Will try some of that anti-squeal compound

Pretty sure i saw this stallion last night in town. Looks tuff as

What causes squeaking discs? Inspected and has HEAPS of meat left on the pad, and no visible stuff caught in it. But squeaks under braking. What should i do? Brake clean?
