Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Data logging EEC-IV

« Last post by Flyinghorse on March 25, 2024, 09:10:51 »

Has anyone tried data logging on the EEC-IV?
I did read a Bosch 1300/ snap on MT 2500 / actron elite could be used with the correct adaptor to log OBD1 data streams from the sensors feeding the EEC-IV. I don’t believe that the obd1-obd2 adapters work unless your analyser can read obd1.
I’m not interested in fault code reading as can do that, and I can also back probe the sensors with a dvm easily, but wanted in particular to look at the long and short term injector fuel trim values.

I could couple up a moates quarter horse but really just want something simple.

I see from searching the threads ( “ball joint”) that AC Heritage did have some new ones but that was quite a long time ago.
I don’t know what other cars had them fitted, but they were apparently Quinton hazel manufactured.( no longer in business)

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Top whisbone ball joint

« Last post by manxman on March 23, 2024, 19:25:05 »

Hi guys,

This moning I changed the front tyres of my Cobra (AKL from 1993). While the tyres where off I checked the front suspension and direction and I discovered my top ball joint from the upper whisbone have some play and needs to be replaced 
I check this afternoon in the forum threads but I wasn't able to find the ref of the part (see attached pic).
[img][img][
Does anyone knows where to purchase the part ?
By the way, is there a special procedure to adjuste the ball joint?

Thanks,

Emmanuel

They do come up on e bay from time to time.

Also there are other very similar period bottle jacks. The web site www.classic-British-car-jacks.uk has details.

Yes, I believe that the Moss gearboxes are the same but the Ace had a hydraulically operated clutch.

Cheers col

Glad to see your still plugging on.

Yes I like the old hemi 250 lump too. Hard to find and expensive to buy.

Still at least the rover is light and lumpy.

Take care.
