Ok, so you guys all know the story of me going to mechanic..and him saying it was a blown head gasket and it wasn't... so i ended up working the poo poo out of my head and stage 4 cam, and anyways heads back on now, just put webers back on, hooked up the plugs and kicked her over... and wouldn't start properly.. so anyways checked the dizzy.. turned lights off.. the Fuicking spark was shooting in random places.. like the body.. the points are freaked! that was my problem.... i cant believe i didn't check that before sending her off... so tomorrow im getting new points and whacking them on and then i shall be good guns.. atleast i got my head worked out like a mofo.. if i knew it was just the points in the dizzy i wouldn't have done anything to the head... [:x)] but now it's done so im not all angry... but im gunna tear my old mechanic a new arse hole. [}:)]

wise words, never have to worry about checkin ya points again, car will run nicer all the time, and any competent person can do the conversion

also out of curiosity do you know the power band of your cam ?

Im going to get some new points today just to get me going. Electronic Ignition is on the top on my list for sure... before i found out it were the points i was saying.. Hmm electronic ignition.. should i? but yeah this crap has tipped the scales and im getting for sure.

Shes running! i started her for the 1st time and.... BANG! back fire lol little bit of excess fuel lol, scared the shiit out of me. Anyways i kicked her over again.. and she is soo bloody lumpy and loud... seeing it's night time im leaving the tuning till tomorrow or Friday. but atleast she goes and with changing the idol it was just running nice but you could tell it needed a massive tune.

Finally [88]

and Greenmk2 i cant wait untill i get her on the dyno... seeing i just got some cash from selling my ps3 i can play around some more and tweak some stuff just before i put her on the dyno.

some carby joints still strugle with twins, so dont expect a great result for your first shot, what power u hoping/aiming for?

I followed you this arvo through belmont to bennetts green ( I was in my rodeo with ali tool boxes and ladders on top )
it sounded like it needed a good tune and didn't want to idle
take it to john collins dyno tune at broadmeadow you will have to book and wait a while but is is excellent with webbers
he got 76 kw from my 1600 mk1
mal

I dont know how long you will have to wait ring and ask him
remember his workshop was flooded and he had to get a new dyno
( which is the only 4wd dyno in newcastle ) so the work would have banked up and also he knows his stuff and has a good reputation

what's the power band on that cam, its got just a bit more duration then mine just not as much lift, have a feelign we might put out very similiar power out puts [:p]
