Will do tomorrow for you--its only a 1703cc four cylinder

I'm thinking that a smaller servo would be better as vacuum is lower

all the above is a prime requisite for a classic car owner :D :D

well now ford is done I am starting on rover re vamp --wedgewood blue and white--or maybe another early color the brakes themselves are fine-its the amount of effort needed so today i got a smaller servo--will try that first then take it from there

After 5 yrs of neglect and 6months of hard graft its done

Got a bit of a weird problem that maybe someone on here can help me with? my Buick has got a high lift cam in it and my brakes are--lets say not very good--I got 4 pots and vented discs for ages now --they were really good with the 3.9 yet since fitted the Buick they're poor The problem-I think...

Mine used more fuel going to Gaydon than coming back--could it be that Gaydon is uphill-so to speak? only a thought?

Am I missing the point here? you either want performance OR economy you cant have both with a v8 Performance wise get the holley carb as its easier to set up and as it closely copies the rochester that was on the 216 Buick to begin with --Rover wanted supply but had contract problems with SU...

if you can get a 3500 auto to do that just by hitting full throttle i would be well impressed and tires are 3500=14s

NADA vents on a 2000 bonnet(hood) :D and 2000 grill assembly with 3500 front apron :wink: it just gets better with age--its like marmite--you either like it or you dont :D

black plugs is as you stated--running rich----have you got a leak on inlet manifold (open up when hot) this could cause your problem mate

What pump you got--I had a facet red top--it was moderately ok until I reached higher speed use when it could keep up--and that was on a 3.9

Gets better and better the more I see ---Cant wait to see this blasting up the road :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
