The above photo is of my Edelbrock 1404 carb in my V8 Marcos and have a fuel leakage problem. After 3-4 years on the road following a full resto i have had my first issue so overall not too bad and take some comfort that the carb was not my installation. Last week after a brief stop to refuel the Ma...

Hi,

Bear with me, lack of knowledge !

The tuner told me it was reading 24 degrees using a strobe light and the megajolt system showed 12 degrees and he mentioned something about a wasted spark system you have to half it (or something similiar) but i do recall reading this somewhere,

Hi,

Not sure how to post photographs on here but have had my car tuned today and uploaded a magajolt map and dyno results on my blog if that is any use to you,

Hi, Have a slight oil leak from the gearbox, my fault really as it was the only thing on my restoration i did not touch and assume as it was sitting around for a coule of years one of the seals is leaking. It is only a very slight leak but want to top up the oil, my car is very low and difficult to ...

May be worth speaking to V8Dev as they fitted Megajolt to a engine they built up for me,

Hi, Thanks for the info. Likewise i never use the choke i have using a couple of jabs of the loud pedal before starting to get the fuel through and a bit of toe and heel to keep the revs up when cold to stop it cutting out. I shall have to take a look to see exactly what i have to remove re the chok...

Curious,

Is there any advantage to removing the choke mechanism ?

Martyn...

Hi,

I will try and get it cut down and fitted in a couple of weeks, if your at the NEC classic show next weekend it will be on the Marcos owners club stand, this is a first for me.


Good luck with your project,


Martyn

Hi, As previously mentioned i have been watching this topic with interest however think i have cheated slightly by purchasing one of these although i have not fitted it yet as due to bonnet clearance issues i still have to shave 3/8" of the bottom. I plan to fit a K&N cone filter via a extension tub...

Hi,

Think we have spoke before re this topic so watching with interest, i did get a spectre 9849 single air plenum of and aim to put a K&N cone filter via a 3" extension tube to get cool air at the front of the car.

Car is not with me at present so hoping to fit it when it returns
