Elsewhere noted some speedo issues due to the LT77 install - showing close to 40kph when GPS says 60. With some difficulty changed the cable driven gear from 22 to 20 teeth - barely any change in speedo reading, certainly not the calculated +4 kph. Bugger. Just have to keep using the tacho and GPS I guess. Idle still a bit variable - with it showing ~750RPM, fully hot through I squirted some WD40 on both ends of the throttle shafts - no detectable change in rpm, so I dont think the issue is worn spindles. At those revs the ign light was flickering, but a rev brought the volts up to 14v, so the alternator would seem to be OK.
Run today was ~20kms, mostly light traffic, some twisty ups and downs, but once in 4th she was very nice to drive, smooth, quiet, no problems. The engine shows its age on some hills, but never missed a beat, very pleasant run. Temp gauge never varies from centre.
