HELP!
Mt car is all done. I took car of the brakes, clutch and oil leak issues. With a brand new pedal box assembly. The pedals operate smooth like a new car.
Brakes are fantastic with the front Disc conversion. Steering is super tight and precise with the steering rack conversion. The car looks fantastic!.
But, in spite of the engine rebuild with upgrades such as a mild comp cam, new pistons and con rods, a ported head, new sleeves, gaskets etc and an increase in compression from stock to 9:1 ratio (according to Robin Woolmer) I can't seem to get power out of this engine.
I've had various widely ranging suggestions on timing with the new cam.
It is now set at 12 degrees advance and 36 total. the carbs are problematic. They have been completely rebuilt by professional SU guys. But they mostly do twin set ups for MG's. The plugs look good, it's not running lean or rich. But power feels flat. Synchronizing these carbs is problematic, largely I think due to the spring-linkage. The first carb always leads out before the others follow and open up.
Can anyone offer me any suggestions on tuning these SU's?
Thanks,
Gus
