Sent from my GT-I9195 using teamspeed

 

Yup.... I have landed

 

I'm off Tuesday til the end of the month, so once I'm back! Lots to do before then.. just got some goodies

 

Man these engines are cramped.. spent a good 4 hours working on it today.. found that the sparkplugs are in great condition so kept them, but I installed new magnecor wires, OEM air filter (replaced the K&N), new distributor cap and rotor, and replaced the stock coil with a MSD Blaster Coil 8222.

First of all, the car starts up much faster and idles much better. Much better low end torque and revs nicely through the RPM. Idles a bit high, need to adjust that, but overall feels like a new car. I am very happy. Next step is installing the MSD ignition once I am back from my trip.

Not the prettiest engine in the world! but those ugly hoses will be replaced with aircraft spruce piping which is on its way.

 

Well done. It's fun in the heat right?

 

I think I lost 3 KG from sweating
