I've got a bunch of jobs queued up in the to-do list. First order is to get the brakes sorted. I get a nasty juddering sensation under braking that is very disconcerting. I have some spare discs and I hope they'll be useable. Just waiting for a pair of rear seal kits to arrive and then I'll check the car in for a service. Hopefully my Pertronix Ignitor will turn up in time to fit that along with an MSD box.
Once the ignition is set-up properly and is stable I can turn my attention to setting the carbs up. Can't afford a rolling road visit and anyway there isn't anybody near here who can do that. So how do I make sure I'm not running lean under sustained lead foot motoring?
Is there any benefit in fitting K&Ns to the elbows, pointing towards each other in place of the airbox? They wouldn't be directly above the exhaust manifolds, and would be directly beneath and behind the hole under the long bonnet scoop. Would I have to buy new K&Ns because the o/d of the elbows is larger than that of the carb elbow adaptors? Or am I imagining that sitting at my desk and not actually measuring anything?
