Thanks Jerry, I figured it was at Dave's after I posted that. Looks at lot like a MW powered 64 we were looking at before we settled on our 63.

Hopefully get to see it at the Nats

Thanks Brutal

Main fuel pipe broke at 120 mph and pumped fuel all over the engine bay and bulkhead, fuel was pouring in the car

Funny, I`d just bought some fireproof underwear and thought it was gonna get a christening. Switched off the pump and pulled up asap.

Need to reroute part of the fuel pipework,

Was using 4 56 gears yesterday, now I`ve got a bench mark I will refit 4 11 and then can accurately work out how the car needs to be geared. I reckon 4 11 / 4 30 should see a low 10 sec
