Thanks guys! I am always amazed at the help available on this website!

I have several extra pump cams and can possibly make both the carburetor pump strokes the same. But which stroke to select? 1.3mm or 4.6mm? Or perhaps there are pump cams available that would give a stroke some where in-between.

I am setting up the Webers on my s-2 Cosworth and noted that the accelerator pump travel is vastly different between carburetors. I think that I have traced problem to a difference in the pump cams located on the throttle shafts. The pump cams look the same but the roll pin holes are slightly rotated relative to each other. The pump shafts are the same length and the roll pin holes on the throttle shafts are in the same place relative to the throttle plates, The pump stroke on one carburetor is 1.3mm and 4.6 mm on the other. They both work well but have to assume they are not supplying the same amount of fuel. Has any one else come across this issue?

Thanks guys! I’m always amazed at the collective knowledge this group has! It looks like I have the correct front shock absorbers. Next question: what is a good source for springs?
-
Good morning guys. What is the perch-to-perch dimension for a series 2 front shock when the shock is fully extended?

I went with the Burton "20mm breather elbow" that is press-fit into the block. I also ordered an oil fill cap with a breather outlet and a catch tank. Thankyou MV8 for the interesting information on the ford designed vent! And thankyou 7westfield for your caution regarding plugging the vent hole.

Never mind guys, I found everything that I need at Burton

I would like to vent my 1340 Cosworth crankcase into to catch tank. How do I connect to the block?

Thank you MV8!

Incidently, about a week after I ordered the nose cone from MSC, I received a message from Chris at Redline that he had a S-2 nosecone that he could send to me! So if anyone is in the market for a nose cone, check with Chris and perhaps his product would need no modifications. -

Motorsports Composites nosecone: Thankyou Scott! I ordered a nose cone it from MSC. It fits quite well and the quality is good. I will need to make the following modifications: 1) cutout for the anti-sway bar 2) extend the skirt to fit the lower Dzus fasteners -
