    Recommended manifold for V8 Weber/Edelbrock conversion?

    I use the Weber 500cfm and Edelbrock performer manifold, simple to fit, performs well, night and day compared to SU's. No clearance issues but it pays to fit the heat kit gasket and heat isolate the carb mounting bolts as well.

    New Acquisition: Adventures in Austineering 1928 16/6 Burnham

    Been on a small buying spree as a partially complete 1928 Austin 12/4 arrived at my local VCC club and I am in need of many bits for my project car and the odd bit or 3 for my roadworthy example. I just couldn't pass up on these super rare parts which form the front seat back support bracket...

    What fuel for a V8

    Never had a problem with my non high compression V8 on UN leaded RON 91 fuel, 10.5 to one would be a different matter. Owned it since 1987.

    Classic motorbikes

    Had a mate of mine back in the 80's when motor vehicle meant motor bike as well, one day he decided a bike would be fun so went out and bought a Kawasaki 900, I don't think he had ever ridden before. Within a couple of days he was in intensive care with a broken back, had hit a brick wall at...

    Nut holding the steering wheel on a Rover P6.

    Yes, they were complete built units from the UK. I also had a friend who worked on the Rover line in Nelson in the paint shop which was quite useful as many NZ cars were painted with other colours not available as standard in the UK such as triumph etc colours, my own car is in Pimento which is...

    Nut holding the steering wheel on a Rover P6.

    I think most of the 3500s cars were imported to NZ fully built up as they are a special order and I guess because of that you would have to specify power steer or not power steer as they would come from UK market stock. OTOH NZ assembled cars seem to all have had power steer ( 3500 Auto models)...

    Audio power advice

    Probably the most important part of it all rather than the BT device or amp is actually the speakers and there placement / fitment and quality. There are a host of BT receivers out there that you can connect to with your phone and some really decent 12Volt amps off Aliexpress that are genuinely...

    Audio power advice

    Hmmm looks like it say's DC in 5.2W so I am guessing no more than about 2 watts max unless its a digital amplifier in which case maybe 4 ( but I doubt it). I am also surmising that its made in China where I have seen a 5 watt amplifier rated as 1200 Watts, the level of exaggeration seems similar...
