Came back via Yosemite and the coast.

Speed Week was everything I expected it to be. Chevy made it there and back with only the addition of a set of plugs and a gallon of oil along the way.

Picked up the car today and immediately got rid of the drug dealer wheels. Big improvement. It doesn't seem to have any oil pressure though which could be a problem.

Yes, I love the amount of passion these guys have for the event. I'll look out for the Jag or streamliner.

I don't much like rental cars so looking at getting something a bit more practical. A...

Thanks. Yea, was talking to a guy that works on his engines last night which got me interested

Thinking about going since I will likely be in LA for work. Anyone else going? Any recommendations?

Was a nice day for a pic last weekend. Some filters added in https://pixlr.com/o-matic/

Remember the karts, must have been about eight or nine at the time. Vaguely recall one driver who was lying right down on his back rather than sitting upright and he managed to win a lot of the races.

Greg, you might know of the guy who runs the bucklecoupe website, I got my manifolds off him a while ago so quite possible they came off a Buckle at some time.

He has some great racing pics...

After 1600miles of punishment on some pretty nasty roads over the last few weeks, the RM head has been the best upgrade ever. It really transforms a lazy underpowered donk into something that can...

Thanks for the headsup, might go for a drive

Spent a couple of weeks in and around Mahia Peninsula with the Healey. Maiden voyage after a few repairs, about 1200km round trip from Akl with no issues.

Kind of. I always wanted the look of triple carbs but not Webers and preferably not carbs. The original DU6s are impossible to find now and weren't a good carb anyway so I copied the basic look from...

Rod, that fuel system looks like a fire hazard! SU fuel pump over by the steering column feeding all the way round the firewall to some manifold thing on the other side. Those mufflers are something...

Thanks guys, enjoying the thread.

Thanks Grant. Your dad's name comes up sometimes in conversation, quite often as that guy who had a Mk3 from where was it now... Timaru?

Looks like it had a well earned life. Those inlet flanges are modified to take something unoriginal, understandable as the stock bolt pattern is virtually impossible to mount anything other than the...

Thanks Steve. I've had it on the Mk2 wagon for about six months now, initially with two H6 carbs,

From what I have heard they weren't the best castings so I guess a lot of them were scrapped as unusable. I have seen one which had been planed so much that the spark plug threads came into the face....

Anyone got any good Raymond Mays head yarns? I wonder where they all went.

This one gives me flashbacks from a misspent youth, v8 mk3 Zephyr and all....
