We also connected a stroby lighty thing....fook knows what we were supposed to do with it but it was mucho funno!

[Fiesta Steve]

We done em all mate, Escort21 fixed HIS mistake and set em to .25 inlet, .30 zorst and it sounds allright now.

 

we set the FR32 to 108 degree's full lift on no1 inlet.

 

ignition timing is set to 10 degree's BTDC.

 

Opened the chokes out under your advice and took 40 thou off an injection head, fitted a slightly modified tony law zorst manifold as well.

 

must admit its never run this good, takes a few goes to start but will tick over quite happy from cold at about 900 rpm, deffo picks up its heels from about 2800 rpm now though

[w p e]

set the timing 10 at TDC btdc will retard it and make it harder to start

10 degree's BTDC yeah? thats what i want right?

 

it was at 12 degrees BTDC and was a bit easier to start by pumpin the pedal, but had to be warmed up before it would tick over.

 

oh, and now we dialed the cam in its amazing how far away from the dot it is on the head now with the engine set at TDC, i set it to the dot before with the engine at TDC and its een running 12 degrees advanced

[Toby]

Bloody dots!!
