What was the problem?

[rally1380]

Eh?  How can it go from goosed to running so quickly? Or was there a drama queen moment from you?

Welli went up there today as my mrs wouldn't let me go up yesterday and retrieve it as I was in a bad mood, and she was worried about me burning there garage to the ground, when I got up there today they just said we can't get it to work it gets on the rollers and then gives up and we can't get it to start again, so tuch me 10 mins to find the problem, they had moved my fuel pump, now a facet pump earths through the body, of course it wasn't bolted down so couldn't earth to anything so as the car bounced on the rollers it was killing the pump, so I bolted it back down and hey presto that solved that issue, and then I re set the points on it

Oh and they had spent so much time with the ignition on it had just drained the battery flat as we'll

I have a few things to do on it tonight like charge the battery and re run some new wirring they opened up in the loom but shouldn't be to much, I've left the power chart in my mates truck but I'll get it back later so you can see it

Just taken this out on a few of the back roads round were I live and through the woods as we'll.

This was also my first real drive of it.

I've never been so scared in my life and thrilled at the same time. It just pulls and pulls and pulls, and it explodes of the line and screams down the road. I must say sorry to the old people living in the cottages near by must of scared the life out of them ahaha

Need to clean the window screen and soften the suspension slightly but I'm very happy.

And it sounds amazing :)

Nice build pal and am glad you enjoyed it. I was asking about your spec so i could see how it compares to mine. I got slightly more power with a kent 276.
