On my turbo engine I had fuel injection. Changed to carbs to suite the historics rules.

so you have zero Gotech equipment on the car now? Nothing controlling ignition or anything like that?

No Gotech equipment. The distributor has got vacuum advance with flyweights

The only special stuff is my digital dash. But that does not control the engine or produce more power.

There's a fanta grape coloured fasty under a tree on a plot close to harties.
She has already got front and back disc brakes and a t4 engine. The owner does not want to part with it...

I've been trying to upload more pics, but everytime I upload a pic I get a screen to log in again. Damn frustrating.
