Spirit level will be the ONLY thing under my bonnet at my current rate of building!
Should have it on wheels soon though, since I'm on leave for a fortnight and someone was kind enough to give me a set of donor wheels for
free!

EFI
i always would choose efi before carbs...
carbs are only for one thing full open..
and the reason they never run like efi is just because they don't adjust them selves to situation changes... and thats it...
- cold mornings
- high altitudes
- Hills
- Wrong gears..
etc. etc.
also i'm pretty sure the mpg is much worse then with efi (when at operating temp.)
etc..
Tks
GO EFI! dont buy WWII stuff....

High altitudes and cold mornings aren't going to be a problem. I've been up most of the highest peaks in this land and never suffered
altitude sickness myself, so can't see why an engine would. And I just do do cold mornings myself anymore!
Hills/wrong gears is a different matter though, but if you're in the wrong gear, it's the drivers fault for not being better at
driving!

i don´t say problems
its just that an electronic system can function x% better at those situation where sparks timeing etc. etc. needs to be adjusted..
its an complex mixed situation..
Tks
also driveability should be better on an efi engine...
