Interesting thread Culminator thanks for sharing. I noted that you typed that you had fitted a pressure regulator now that you have converted from fuel injection to carbs (?) is that as the result of retaining the original higher output fuel pump as may be required by F.I...?

One other thing that caught my eye was that your fan stat (?) is top tank mounted in the rad, and certainly an improvement over my standard rubber grommet sealed and bottom tank mounted fan otter switch, though I wonder if it might ever be possible that the water level in the rad could drop while running to a situation where the fan cut out as the coolant had lost contact with the sensor...? Of course I could be typing rubbish, as I have done more than once before... no problemo if you are too busy to respond. oldgit
