Mike. Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I use the Disklok, it’s a bit cumbersome stored behind the seats, but at least some security when parked up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking old school, crook lock. But I was reading on FB and some dudes custom ford was pinched when it had tracker and he had even removed the steering wheel 😬 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessopia74 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Easiest path for ignition is go with distributor and amp from a GTE, it’s a standalone Bosch setup and is pretty reliable. Depending what you want to achieve, but if your going for mostly drivability then a pair of Dellorto twin 40s (36mm choke) is very sweet. The Dellorto are a better carb than the Webber for road use, but it’s marginal. The bigger you go with carbs has a drawback, does increase BHP, but it will shift the torque curve upper rev range and not always the best thing for a daily car. Best option possible with ignition would be add TPS (sensor) to Carbs spindle, crank sensor/wheel to front pulley and go with No-Diz setup (fully mapped ignition curves). Also forgot to message you. Sadly Both the 2.4 manifolds I have are cracked underneath, so scrap. Apparently very common on the 2,4 one. 2.0GTE is a good upgrade and larger than the carb version, sorry I don’t have one of those mate. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fullsunian Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I have gone down the twin 40's route with a pair of Dells. I used a GTE exhaust manifold and a pair of short Opel GT inlet manifolds, so I didnt have to move the servo or master cylinder. The inlets came from OpelGTsourse in the states. I struggled with the throttle linkage on the dells as it was touching the exhaust manifold at full throttle. Although Ive fixed that, Im still not happy with the set up. Even though the short manifolds saves moving the servo I still cant fit filters, so it gets noisy on acceleration lol As you can tell, its still a work in progress.... Sorry they are upside down.....its an iphone thing!😡 Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

Ah ok. Like Jess said a facet silver top etc will be fine. Don’t bother with the Chinese copies. id mount underneath at the back, rubber bobbins etc as can be a little noisy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
