#rotissaryrestoration looks amazing!    CV joint boot came to mind for the tunnel to gearstick boot.(might go over where the rack boot where the zip tie is even)   is that @2redrovers panel van there? looks almost finished  

Today was a big day.  the car is finally back on its wheels after about 12 months.    Subframe and driveline looks good in there        The modified Type 9 gearbox fits perfectly, to a tee. @2redrovers The boot is a steering rack boot to seal the shifter from crud.      Brakes well and truely fill the 13" wheels.      I still have a lot of work ahead of me, but it is at least back on its wheels and rolling.      Thanks to Peter for the following photos.  Me with my head somewhere under the car lining things up.      getting the gearbox to line up...its close, but perfect to a tee.  *cameo featuring Mark's crazy Zetec powered panel van*      Done, and on its way back down to earth. those brakes, though     last bit of spanner turning for the day       Its nice to have it rolling again, and should be home within a couple weeks. 
I still have loads to do. the front seats are off getting upholstered now.  once its home the assembly can start.  I have a bit of electrical work to do, to neaten up the engine bay, couple more brake lines to make, fuel lines to make, paint the brake booster bracket, rebuild booster, paint fuel tank. lots of work ahead of me, but at least it can now come home. 

New pointer and ring compressor lobbed up,about time I used a better one than the one I have been battling for years.

Hi first time poster i have a FORD XF Speedway car on methanol  im new to sport and I’m not familiar with the wires coming out of the dizzy. A friend called it a LASER DISTRIBUTOR 
id just like to know what wires to use on the dizzy to the CRANE HI-6 , If anyone is familiar with  this wiring please help.

Maybe the rich condition was causing a bad misfire which was showing as lean due to oxygen going through unburned?

that was the cause of it not reving.
have to take it for another run on a dyno with a good operator.

That sucks mate, but wouldn't that make for a pig-rich top end as the secondaries open? Was that the cause of it falling on its face at 4500?
