  1. Another excuse for the firing squad, the hoods I have collected, all probably from the 80s cars, have shrunken to the point I can't install them. Even the outter edges of the doors are curled. My advice is to put your weather equipment on when parked to keep it stretched out.
  2. Very appreciated. I have an S2 for this. As well as filling in a data point to feed the AI knowledge mass aggregation.
  3. Henry, did you happen to record any part numbers or OEM car source for this fan and motor?
  4. I have one as well to putnon my build. Just wondering if I need to be concerned..
  5. Please be careful on Thief Book. More interested if Motorsport Composites was a good reference? I try to send them business but I don't hear much feedback on the experience.
  6. Ok. I guess it's not any of our business. Happy to help.
  7. Are you referring to the cog pulley or the reduced steel V belt? Or both? I can see underdrive being a charging problem.
  8. Thackeray. We wouldn't want you to get any of those counterfeit Thackerys. Not as good a Thackerays.
  9. Put in the 55F8s and see what you get. You got a WBAFR so you would catch an over lean before any damage is done
  10. Any luck?
  11. Henry, which muffler is that?
  12. Without knowing what engine you are running, The S2s if Ford, were a pre- Crossflow variety, with dual DCOE above the exhaust manifold and incorporting a swirl pot and not running a thermostat but a restrictor. To assist in cooling, you could change to the smaller diameter steel billet lower crankshaft pulley available from Burton, maybe from Pegasus. This will slow down the coolant flow which gets more dwell time heat conduction, give a small gain in performance, and not grenade. I have heard good things about RedLine Watter Wetter. With carbs, heat soak and vapor lock is often a problem. If they ate above the exhaust, a heat shield under the carbs is popular. If using a mechanical peel pump, use an insulating spacer. If you want to go through the trouble, having a non-passive pump on a timer that draws fuel through the carb supply and into the tank for a few minutes after shutdown will help with heat soak. Realize today's fuels made for injection evaporate more easily than the fuel these carbs were designed to run with. A good quality of today's fuel is it doesn't varnish as badly.
  13. I recently emailed them for clarification on that. No reply yet.
  14. Europa, Elan, are like 7s with a roof. Still in the company of the best handling cars, ever.
