Hi All

I have overdrive pressure gauges already made up as a tool, incorporating an original operating valve plug and a glycerin filled 600 psi gauge ready to fit on the overdrive in place of the operating valve plug. They are invaluable for not only testing the overdrive on a test stand but, more importantly, one can test the overdrive for proper pressure while still in the car!

Thanks Stuart for all this information, greatly appreciate as always. 
 

Cheers. 

[Triple Carb - Manifold Hose - Plug or Bypass? Fuel Level?]

You can measure the height quite safety with the engine running. All you are doing is removing the jet cover and extracting one of the main jets. As the main jet is not being used at idle this has no effect on the engine idling. You can then measure the distance from the top of the hole for the main jet to the petrol surface with a micrometer and a torch. Should be 25mm +/- 1mm, however mine run best around 28mm. 
If your running an electric fuel pump you can just remove a main jet from the three carbs, turn on the ignition so the pump tops up the fuel, then switch of the ignition and measure the height.

Nothing to do with the OD, however as the gearbox was recently overhauled some questions may need to be asked and answered.

I’ve managed 38mpg  at a steady 60 mph in 28% OD, however I’ve also been in the teens.

Don’t rely on the pulley marking being accurate. Over the years the rubber annulus deteriorates. Worth checking TDC does match the pulley mark.

I got one directly from rockauto, didn’t take long to arrive. So much smoother to use,great improvement 

I used a 60amp stripped block like these to connect the operating cable

Theres 10 sheets in a pack so usually use about 2 packs, I dont fit them under the bonnet as you dont really want to enclose the heat in there.

I’ve used these after Stuarts recommendations a while back. Excellent product, warm them up slightly makes them even easier to apply.

I’ll second that, Tr Shop carpets are a good quality for the price. I would also suggest you consider what your putting under the carpet.
