  1. Another drop in replacement of modern design: https://simonbbc.com/fuel-flow-su-replacement-fuel-part-for-rear-installation/
  2. Manual says same oil as engine, 20W50 My gearbox is out at the moment, I can take pics for you.
  3. When I get my car running definitely up for some meets. Will have to be in new year now however for me. Thanks for effort to revive the group Al. Clive
  4. I just had a look at circuit diagram, and both coil and electronic ignition module powered from same voltage source, so should be a normal 12v coil, unballasted.
  5. Braking was brilliant. Very effective. And yes, just used same master cylinder. Hope it goes well. Under dash in pedal box can be fiddly, some good 1/4" extensions and sockets worked well.
  6. the voltage regulator could also affect gauge. Does fuel gauge change too? Both gauges rely on a 10V regulator feed. I am assuming esprit is same as elite of course.
  7. This is of interest to me too. Old gaskets had asbestos in them I believe. Do the new ones? I am pretty sure the Goetze ones don't.
  8. The actual reverse switch could be the culprit, just gone high resistance, by a few ohms. The fact you have a solid 12V at the switch and doesn't fail when fuel lock is on suggests this.
  9. you have a high resistance point somewhere. for a 21W bulb, that means I = 21W / 12 = 1.75A That is an equivalent bulb resistance of R = 12/1.75 = 6.8R so if you have only a few ohms resistance somewhere, it will seriously drop voltage across the bulb. Could be a crimp connector, oxide layer on a connector, etc... A multimeter has an input resistance of a Megohm or more, so the current it draws is insignificant if you measure the volts at the bulb end, so no IR drop.
  10. Maybe the difference is 'with' and 'from' Covid?
  11. Hi Dan, Yeah, one of those things you may or not use. Happy to relieve you of it, as a reference, SJ has them for £20, but let me know what you think is fair, and some postage of course. I tried to send you a PM, but apparently you can't receive messages? cheers, Clive My 502 has foam just on top surface between chassis and shell.
  12. Nup, quite the opposite, very conservative, right leaning, with a Pentacostal PM. The States are a variety of Labor and Liberal(read Tory), Victoria being Labor and the major lockdown state.
  13. Do you need it Dan?, mine is badly bent and is on the list of things to fix, if it's just doing nothing!
  14. That is a fantastic bit of history, and a nicely written one. Love the descriptive words, really paints a picture. Thanks for posting.
  15. Des Hammill How to build and power tune weber and dellorto DCOe, DCO/SP & DHLA carburettors is very useful. from velocebooks.com and floats are critical, set once, then again and again. worth the effort. good luck.
  16. It is a Perspective article (available from within the extract page), I assume it is meant to be something digestible by a wider audience than focused experts. Intended for a professional audience, eg: doctors, of whom one showed it to me. It is peer reviewed, so should pass the BS filter It references 20 papers, which are based on science. If you choose to ignore @mg4lotus, fine, but others may have differing opinions.
  17. So is that supposed to help? The NIH isn't a crackpot conspiracy site, it is a US government funded organisation to the tune of over $40 billion. My original statement holds I believe.
  18. Gold, was it published on April 1st?
  19. This doesn't encourage me. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33113270/
  20. Those magnets look neat, did you make the brackets and heatshrink magnets to them?
  21. that just discriminates the colour blind!
  22. Just had a look at every schematic variant I have, and can't find a WU(white/Blue) wire anywhere. There are some UW wires with headlights.
  23. Does this help? Two fans and aircon. One may be Federal, but other definitely Non-Federal, which should work
  24. As a sanity check, I always make sure the ticking of the fuel pump stops when I first start the car, only takes a few seconds. I have had the occurrence of a sticky needle valve cause one of the carbs to leak fuel. It only happened once, and a simple tap on the carb fixed it, and never again.
