The 2nd dizzy looked a bit heath-robinson.

I hate them - but must admit that one does look tidy.

I think you need more than 45a current, crank it up to 100a then work back if your'e melting through your job. (disclaimer - never used an inverter.. YMMV) You will find that once the tungsten is hot it will strike up much easier. From a cold start i lean the torch over so its almost parrallel with ...

I'm looking for one for myself at the moment to replace the one on my Camaro. To buy new from the states you are looking at about £700 plus postage. Waiting to hear from a guy in Sussex that may have some re-con boxes. Speak to Adrian at americanv8engines.co.uk - he has boxes for rebuild or Alders ...

Aran, if you look on Mez's site at http://www.mez.co.uk/ms1.html you'll see a 4-barrel throttle body that keeps the 'Holley' look. Cheers, Ian With those blowers, you must inject the fuel above the blower as the fuel cools and lubricates the blower - at least that's what holley told me when i enqui...
