Re: Triple electrode spark plugs

For many years I use the Bosch WR78 Super 4 spark plugs in my E-Type S2 and my Healey 3000.

Re: Lower steering column

On my 69 S2 FHC with manual steering the total length is 87.2 cm

Hi all, Did some more testing on my setup. To compare each test drive I installed a small endoscope camera on carb 1 and made small markings on the outside of carb 2 when each of the progression holes is opened. So while driving I could exactly see in the endoscope display where the throttle positio...

When I move the pedal rather gentil until I am over 1500, th...
