Thanks, it's a late 74 car. Earlyish for UK, you might call it late [emoji849] TBH I think your door looks similar to mine - folded apart from that last inch or two. But maybe how it's attached is a red herring. Maybe it's just where twisting forces on the door show.

Check the end of the propshaft (OK, driveshaft!) flange nuts too.

Here's a slightly wider angle. It's a 260. It looks like its a weak spot because the door skin joins differently here - elsewhere it's a fold over seam, but here it's not folded over. Maybe it's a brazed joint? I thought mine cracked originally with a bit of corrosion and with the way the hinges were shimmed the door was hitting the seal on the rocker under this point and so shutting the door was stressing it. I hope I've sorted it now, the crack and having to slam the door really detracted from driving it.

Thanks for this thread. I just followed that advice and my door does now line up pretty well now. I also have a tear at the front top of the door to fix again which I thought I'd finished but it's worth it!

I expect everyone knows the bit about p90a being hydraulic tappets isn't universally true. And they didn't only come on turbos. But they definitely do produce good power.

I'm happy to bundle up posting to UK for the 3 of us if Jerry's happy for so many to come to the UK. Jerry - I tried sent you a PM from tapatalk, but it looks like I might have sent it to myself! did you get anything from me? @JLPurcell

Clearly the clutch isn't releasing. Did you refit exact same clutch kit? I guess the 4 speed is f4w71b, but Which 5 speed? 1/4" movement of the fork doesn't sound right, I'd guess it needs a taller release bearing collar. But I might not be picturing it right in my head :)

That's very kind. I'll PM for details and payment.

I'd love some if your willing to ship to the UK. Thanks

is it idling OK now? Going back to the beginning, it seems to me that this was the sequence, right: 1. car was all working fine, 2. you took carbs off to fit new exhaust 3. You fitted the exhaust and put the carbs back on 4. The car ran poorly 5. You fiddled with float levels, mixture screws and more 5. Eventually discovered that the carb linkage was not set right and front carb wasn't opening at all below 2k I personally think it's unlikely that you simultaneously developed problems with fuel supply or ignition. Fwiw that 2 psi fuel pressure is fine. I think all you've got to do is really balance the carbs properly (you don't need Ztherapy for this) and make sure those float levels and mixture settings are right. Colourtune is a great tool to help with the mixture. Eventually you will need a decent heat shield between that zstory manifold and the carbs. Without it the fuel in the float chambers will boil.

Could be the distributor drive spindle isn't timed properly.

They look a little like the seals from inside the master cylinder.

Annoying because it was misleading. Engines don't need pure high quality fuel. Lots of engines will run on impure low quality fuel.

I got it all right. But the one about pure, high quality liquid or gas was annoying.

That's a really boring video.

Sounds like there's something odd about cylinder #6. If the overall engine is lean, is 6 so lean its missing and fouling, or is it oil fouling? Where does the master vac take its vacuum from on this setup?

OK, they're cool. Never mind me. :)

Which NGK? BPR6ES?

Those old spark plugs look quite cold, colder than standard which would contribute to fouling at idle. What plugs are the new ones?

I think you've got a few things need fixing. First up is a big air leak that's making the mixture lean and causing revs to rise. Either the throttles or chokes are open, or the carb to manifold or manifold to head gaskets aren't sealing.

That's true with the Kameari damper too. I clearanced the back of the fan blades by about 1mm to miss the damper. I couldn't space the fan forward because my fat radiator is in the way.

I stand corrected. It works fine on the Kameari damper :)

IIRC, your engine builder used the Kameari crank damper bolt and washer Ali.

When you step on the gas, is that going full throttle from low revs? How does it handle progressively opening the throttle from higher revs?
