    Easy , get rid of all of it . How many hoses are coming out of the firewall ? 
    you will need to hook up some of the hoses out of the firewall to make the dash controls work 
    what distributor are you using ?

    That’s a standard redline manifold . I have a couple and the angle looks the same . I wouldn’t worry about it

    91 cam in the T head it is then . 
    Thinking about changing the head vs just the last adjuster is that I have the parts and it's got 250+kms and is really slow lol 
    more comp is always good 
    as far as manifolds . Being an eb I don't have bbm control , would it be worth fitting the bbm and the actuator just to manifold vacuum ? 
    I read somewhere that an el ecu can be retrofitted without too much drama ? 
    Do xr6 ecu have different tune ? 
     
     
    Edit . Turns out the noisy lifter was no6 intake . Swaped it out and all good . 
    But still don't explain 60psi down on no3 cyl lol

    Thinking i will clean up the flat lip set , put some tyres on and use those . Then get rid of the other 2 sets lol I really really want to burn the eagers into the ground (245/60 with near new tread but old and hard) unless they're worth something these days ?

    I've had a hall pick up fail . 304holdens have dramas with them too . Something to think about . 
    When it won't start can you do the 'msd check' and makes a spark ? 
    I think you ground the white? mag pick up Wire

    El is probably the better option . I don't understand why they went to coil pack on ef then changed back to dizzy for el and then back to coil pack for au . Stupid ford

    Grimmy got a reaction from wagoon in figuring out cam specs   
    The way I understand it , lift and tighter lsa = torque . But the less lobe separation means the power comes on quicker but falls over quicker aswell .

    Grimmy got a reaction from wagoon in water pump and high engine rpm   
    I don't know the exact size of the waterpump pulley but I'm pretty sure it's the same size as the std harmonic balancer , so would drive 1.1 normally .
     
    So to work it out you divide the circumference of the driven pulley (waterpump) by the driving pulley ( crank) and the alternator is an idler so it has no effect
     
    I think !
