pulley was drilled and pinned to locate spacer

Excellent car to do the conversion semi42

Love the Esprit. I've been searching for a 45M Dell carb for my blow thru project,but firstly,I'm seeing if the dgav will suffice

I think I'll have to start selling my body

finances are going elsewhere for now,tempting though,may consider in the near future. In fact,I have a number of Dells and Webers I could sell to fund...hmmm

11 years on from the initial installation and I still own the car and the mega jolt is still going strong.
The Tacho however never worked as I never got around to wiring it up
During this time of lockdown I decided to get the smiths RVC tacho up working, along with upgrading the dash bulbs to LEDs.

Using the mega jolt Tach output didnâ€™t work but splicing into the PIP lead got the needle moving

For anyone wanting to know about smiths tachometers, I found this quite helpful
