My notes: May be useful. This when fitting a 17H to a Series yet still relevant to you: Starter motor: There are two types: a) Series starter: This pulls its drive-pinion from rear to front - Bendix inertia type. b) Later 5MB 2.25/ 2.5 uses a pre-engage. Here the solenoid pushes its drive gear...

Agreed. They're the ultimate easy to source and tune carb. Weber DTML is only good if you've got a good one, else as bad as the others. Needle choice for me was a custom based on a BAO, Green Spring. Upped oil to 20W/50 damper as AC Dodd's dictum. HNJ Recommend: BDL - Green Spring (Richer)...

I've done this with the Heystee kit front and rear. You'd want the Servo off a Deb*nd*r, and a Wilwood prop.valve. Discs will not pull-up with the stock S3 servo. Brakes will be worse. That is why the servo gets bigger on LRs fitted with discs. It's not about fade etc, unless you live in the...

When I last looked I ran a small mail-order company. Not a dizzy in sight. I have no issue with you. I don't do my own dentistry, I freely admit I know zilch. I find a pro. Minded to this, best not put false information on Dentistry forums, and I can't imagine why I would? When we don't...

Double S is fine. Not best but good enough. Expect 15 years minimum. Why do you expect it to shine? It's not a sink or a mirror. It will 'grey' soon enough. Make sure fit is A1, else it'll fracture with fatigue, not rot. Put proper clips on, not the cheapies. If you go to your local fabricator...

Not sure I understand the question. Why worry? Buy the cheapest you can find on eBay. Only it's not like you're putting too much demand on it, is it? Electric saves the faff of the mech. lift pump. Pump is a pump is a pump. I'd have sited it nearer the tank, more so if it's a rear tank 109. You...

Er.. read again. I have had real success, this success took far more than a carb change, and dizzy fitment. The gains you speak of are flat impossible if that's all you've done. Tuning of this kind takes getting more air through an engine, and it's very clear you've done none of this. Until you...

I have a full ACR kit, it's good only it's not that good! It’s a head, cam, carb and extractor manifold. With the full kit maybe.... Whereas this is a simple carb-swap? You’ve not shown how you’re getting more air in the engine, the carb will only meter what you already have, only better. You...

================ Having spent 300.- euros on the 123 unit, it eventually drive me bonkers, no one, not even the manufacturers could tell me which one of the advance curves to use it was all a bit hit and miss. ================ Just had a look at this - 123Ignition's SWITCH variant. With 15...

Agreed, you have a point to some extent, yet you write as if yours was a perfect solution. Each is a compromise. Be ready to sob your heart out.. 'happy days' for now, there's dark days ahead for diesel. Not if but when. Unless you've been living under a rock, thus not seen the accelerating...

Seems Roland at ACR now sells 123ignition. He knows more than most on how to get grunt out of these,

Country? Assume UK. It's RHD. I've little or no information on this, about a 12 month back, browsing eBay (UK) as you do, and there it was... sorry, you know what I know.

Seen on eBay, and sold by a trader hence he didn't know much. Q: Engine is a 17H Petrol. 2.5. What's that heater-body? I want one! I suspect, come Feb we all will.

Of course, if our typical 'run' is 10-15 mins driving, and that's about it, don't suppose it matters what we have in there. Noise for 15 mins might not be nice, yet do-able for most of us. I'll never understand those that have engine-choice based on economy, when they don't drive 'em. Like the...

Agreed. New, I've seen them all, none fit properly. Not on 109s anyway, can't speak for 88s,
