Car Trailer.

A few weeks ago I bought a car trailer to carry the G when on a long trip. I had to move the axle forward as it had been set back to carry an old dragster. I have infilled the inside of the mud guards so stones wont flick up on the car and re designed the ramps and the system that holds them in place and made a few minor adjustments.

Perfect fit.

Out for a drive.

After installing all the electronic ignition I though I would take the G for a bit of a drive. I took one of the previous owners with me being John Kitchen who drove part of the way and really enjoyed himself. We covered 104km around the back roads of Bathurst. The G used 10.53L per 100km which converts to 26.83mpg. It still needs some further tuning.

On the O'Connell Plains Road about 25km south of Bathurst.

Nearly there.

After having trouble tuning the Webers I have installed the factory correct and genuine needle and seats being 1.5 and adjusted the float levels being 5mm to 11.5mm.
The fellow in Sydney who rebuilt the Webers used Fuel miser brand 1.75 needle and seats and had the float levels set at 5mm to 17.5mm.
I put it all back together today and fitted the new Flamethrower 3ohm-40,000v coil to assist with the new electronic ignition. There is no doubt it is running better however it is still "hunting" at about 5000rpm when cruising. I think it is still running lean at this rpm.

Correct Weber made needle and seat on right. 1.50.

Adjusting the float levels.

It's pointless.

I finally got my Accuspark electronic ignition and fitted it to the car. It took about 2 hours to fit and has made starting so much easier.
I had to remove all the old point parts including some plastic bits fitted to the plate that the module fits to, so I removed the top plate of the distributor to make the job just that bit easier. I will replace the 2 ohm coil with a 3 ohm Flamethrower 2 coil in the coming week.
