My first MOT after the rebuild didn't go according to plan. Although (1980 Plus 8) there is no lambda thingy or catalytic whatsit, I was disappointed when the tester said I'd failed on emissions. The new Edelbrock should have been good and the performance seemed excellent after nine years off road and 238,000 miles on the clock before that.
Bit embarrassed later to realise that I'd mixed the plug leads up and it was only running on six cylinders! An easy fix, though.
