In s'c applications the rear wall should be at least 1.5 plenum diameters away from rhe rearmost intake. And the plenum diameter at least double the intake's. To me, the stock plenum meets those criteria. Peter

But dont rush to pick it up, it may be too hot to handle. Peter

We have all experienced the 1/2" spanner vanishing, and reappearing at the last place we looked. Sometimes the mundane explanations dont apply, as this recent review on the poltergeist phenomena describes: https://journalofscientificexploration.org/index.php/jse/article/view/3263 Enjoy ! Peter

Tks John, It would be good to find a new owner keen to explore the development of the supercharging: water injection for extra RON to avooid detonation at 10 psi boost; leaning the SU at cruise with back-suction control, and cruise advance. WI and BSC are both borrowed from piston aero-engines, and should allow more boost and torque without impairing cruise mpg. I'm in no rush, the PD seems stable, and that experiment continues too ! Peter

Hi Stuart, I have lost touch with most in the group. The PD took my muscle strength and I last drove it summer 2017. I think it is time to bite on the bullet....Peter

Tom, I have not been able to work on it since 2017 when the tremors started. Its a sad sight now, with only half the bell housing bolts fitted after a clutch change. I dont like to admit defeat but no-one in the family is interested, so it will have to go I fear. Peter

Bought my '74 in '78, drove is as sole daily driver for about 200k miles/8 years, (on same PI pump). DIY rebuild, chassis-up ca1990. and fitted blower. Now aged '79 I had hoped grandson would take it on, but no such luck. So it looks like the planned water injection (=108 RON) wont happen. B****y Parky. Peter

No Beeching, no heritage railways today ?

The solenoid might be sticking. When the 6 was my sole daily driver I carried a stick to give it a thump......

I'd go for the small toe-out. Under accelaration toe will move towards parallel, depending upon 'squat' and bushes stiffness. At cruise that small toe out wont matter much, it is very nearly parallel. Not sure about BB specs. Peter

Toe-out increases with spring compression. For handling we want as little toe change as possible, but that means stiffer springs and/or rear anti-roll bar. For stock spring rates i think factory toe-in would be best handling wise, as it will tend towards zero toe for the loaded tyre in cornering. Peter

CUFOS has just published on-line 1000 pages of UFO reports arranged in chronological order. https://cufos.org/PDFs/pdfs/UFOsandIntelligence.pdf?fbclid=IwY2xjawF57LBleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHeZs8jVG4Mkd-vEZWGUWysBDbZu81jEwKRatMOhdei-U38f1Iw1BELrfsA_aem_gQZTMLLHkXiuE9kdWgwP6w Sir Francis Chichester's sighting is included, in 1931.

1988 interview with Budd Hopkins describing drawings by abductees of the 'grays'. Typically they are ca 4 foot tall. To me, they are not alien enough to be extra-terrestrial. The question is where do they originate? Or maybe we should ask 'from when' do they originate? The ignorance of UK academia is represented by this article in The Conversation, the academics' blog. https://theconversation.com/belief-in-alien-visits-to-earth-is-spiralling-out-of-control-heres-why-thats-so-dangerous-237789 The author did not respond to any of my comments.

Could be a failing connector to the loom. It can corrode under the insulating sleeve. Car motion might break the feed. But inertia switch more likely. Peter

John, 10 ug is ten-fold too low to acheive physiological status as defined by evolution and described in section 2 of Holick's review. I trust the science-based approach by D3-expert physicians such as David Grimes and take 4000IU daily (=100ug)** giving me serum 25(OH)D 125 nmol/L. Severla of your statments are wrong: FIsh?-you will not get anywhere near enough from fish unless you eat it at every meal. Toxicity? -whole-skin sunlight can make 10,000 to 20,000IU daily, and dleivers ca 250 nmol/L 25(OH)D - evidence is from CA beach lifeguards. My 4000 IU daily** is typical for most D3-awa
