SAUers,

Found this old mag (Wheels, July 1990) whilst cleaning out the home office. I scanned it thinking some of you may be interested.

The article cites 576bhp @1.8Bar, driving 1325kg car. That was 15 years ago...

Elsewhere in the mag there is an article on the 'new' 5.0L Ford HO motor. "Ford's brawny V8 is back with a vengeance" and 165kW. :P

PS I've got it in a larger .pdf that's around 1.8Mb, if it's hard to read or for bigger pics.

PPS Check the filename for the page order, the comp has loaded them back to front.

Sent to all above addresses and PM's.

Guerilla: It's no trouble - for what I've taken out of SAU, it's the least I can do.

Intensevil: Thanks dude. If you PM me the link I'll edit the first post to make it easier for everyone else and save the wait. Cheers

Mark

    • Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though. 
    • The screw is for idle (pilot circuit) mixture adjustment. Else, I'm confused ~ the diagram shows 2 carby ports, and the intake manifold port, but you're suggesting the "2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams" ...yet, both carby ports are shown...que?... ...in any event, that port should be connected, but if not (like it is now), it's unlikely to cause a backfire out the carby (it would introduce false air and give you a fast/lean idle) ...sounds more like timing issues/spark plug wire routing responsible for the backfiring.    
    • That's fair, I can see both points. I get enthusiastic when I see the FS section has a new post and want to see what interesting thing someone is selling. Then I get deflated it's a bump of a 10 year old post. Ha ha
    • Couple of litres of moonshine from his southern cousins would do it...
    • Brakes definitely won't make him faster. They only slow you down. 😛
