  1. Glad you found it, sounds like the KISS principle never made it to England
  2. just stuff the tank with fuel cell foam, and switch to a tube type fuel level sender?
  3. FWIW it will work on 4 cylinders, just double the 8 cyl reading
  4. retroford lists one if you're willing to play all the tariff games
  5. The only pix I found of a Duratec DS were belt drive... I hate to ask the obvious, but are you sure you have a dry sump system? Do you have a separate oil tank? Post a pic of your engine bay. The only case I know of a doubled "stock" pump is on air cooled VWs, they piggyback a second rotor on the front end. Hard to see enough room inside most engines to do that
  6. There was a post on Westfield site a while back large one is 3/4 BSP small is either 1/2 or 5/8 BSP got a hydraulic repair shop near you? Pegasus has Dowty seals
  7. Racetech has a 80mm unit I got mine from Burton, surely someone over here has them Mine is wired to the transmission, but I'm sure you can put a GPS sender on it
  8. How does stated value come in play (if at all) if you are not at fault? If you get hit, and totaled, does having SV policy require the other party to pay that value?
  9. That one is 14" long also comes in 18 + 22"
  10. This is what I use with my xflow https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mpe-10444#overview it's not TOO obnoxious I use the cheap foam earplugs from HF I tried a set of muffs, but not as good. My muffs seem to be biased toward higher freqs, not so good down low I don't use them around town, but more than 10 miles on the highway I have them in
  11. As I (dimly) recall, the old SCCA classes for Spridgets were FP GP HP, based mostly on engine choice Run a bugeye with a 948 in HP or throw in a 1275 and run FP So, a 948 7 in F makes sense Smaller, lighter chassis means a higher class
  12. I know a 90 year old Formula Ford driver
  13. And, just to toss another variable into the mix... THE type 3 I took out had a cable op clutch, and there was a bump on the inside of the footwell by my ankle for the end of the release arm. The arm on the T9 setup would not have fit, I went with concentric hydraulic, I used the BH3 bellhousing from Burton, and cut away some of the left side starter mount for clearance
  14. reach out to HealeyRacer from a couple of his posts, he seems to be a long time A-series addict
  15. First off, I've not worked on an A series since the 70's, in my bugeye I thought it looked like front, left corner above the pan ahead of the pump? there was also mention of racers back in the day putting 1098 heads on 948 blocks I'll see if I can relocate the article edit try this page https://www.mgexp.com/article/bmc-a-series-engine-codes.313 not the one I saw earlier, but looks helpful Minimania might have something, but I can't get on their site today It seems that for the early engines, they used a system where the number was the size group and letters were sub groups so 8xx was anything in the 800-900cc range, and 9xx was the 900-1000 group
  16. Found this on a google search They say 9J for 948
  17. It's a type 3 / 2000e I have a spare bellhousing from a type 3, which should fit, but not ready to sell just yet Burton has an aluminum one, but it's $400, plus tariffs, etc get a Burton catalog...lots of good pics and info try Dave Bean maybe Ken has something
  18. A bit gaudy for my taste on the car But,,,,a 2 footer on the garage wall !!!!
  19. Try 185/60 and 205/60 many more choices I have 205 Toyo 888s on mine
  20. My old Westfield uses a Mk1 Cortina mount attached to the motor, and a pedestal to connect that to the chassis prowling thru the Burton site may also give you some ideas https://www.burtonpower.com/vibra-technics-hd-engine-mount-cortina-mk1-including-lotus-vibfor180m.html
  21. https://www.apexspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?100051-Ford-Rocket-(Type-E)-4-Speed-Heavy-Duty-Dog-Gearbox&p=680265#post680265 this is on a formula car forum I frequent you'll need to register to contact him, but that's free
  22. input on the type 3 I removed is 7/8-20 output is smaller than T9 if you need that number, I can go dig it out of the shed If getting a BH from a Pinto, it must be a 1600 or 2L 2.3L is different bolt pattern AND...the pinto BH i had rotated the gearbox a few degrees, would have needed a wedge under the tranny mount ( one of Ford's better ideas, that they used up to heavy trucks)
