Joe is converting an MGB GT to spin on wire wheels. So far so good, with the exception on the wire wheels. 4 out of five are no good....So the car will sit on the rack for  a while....

40 DCOE 34 and 35

If you look closer at these carbs you will notice a couple of irregularities.
The vent hole in the facia of the carb is not there and the auxiliary venturies are extended beyond the air horn.

This set up was only used for the 1725 cc Rootes Hillman Holbay motor. The float chamber breathes through a spacer with holes under the jet cover. That was because for some reason the normal breathing could not function with the original air filter housing.
The extended aux venturies were to combat a flat spot.

Obviously pretty rare, just because of small production numbers of the car. 

Soon on Ebay.

​Tim's new tool at work. 

It was worth the time spend on making the adapter. We now can measure the dwell and offset of the spark timing on each set of points. 
As is was set up we had a good 8 crank degrees angle between the sparks. Rendering the second spark effect to around zero. We now are at about 1.5 crank degrees. Our Sun machine measures distributor degrees, so it's about....

Engine is starting to look like an engine again.

​Ran- without oil pressure- when we took it apart. 

Just to make sure everything to the smallest detail is up to snuff, Tim made an adapter for the Magneti Marelli double point distributor of the Maserati yesterday. Now we can check both systems individually and set the offset of both points according to the book.
