At first she didn't run at all well as the timing was quite away off, but after a quick look in the haynes we got the timing right and she fired up straight away and idled away consistently. No leaks and no misfiring so i guess everything was reassembled and connected properly.
She sounds so much better with the new exhaust, sounds nnice and throaty, and looks much better than the old peashooter.
At the moment it's running fairly well throughout the rev range, but with a small flat spot at the top end, but i guess that's because of the needle, so once the car is all finished and back on the road after the respray, i'll take it to be RR'd to get it running nice and smooth.
The tappets need adjusting also as they are rattling away a bit and may fiddle with the mixture as we stuck the colortune in earlier and it's slightly orange so try and lean it out abit, but apart from that im well chuffed.
The engine bay still looks a bit dull, but as i said hopefully the new rocker cover and coil bracket and cover will be here tomorrow, and im on the look out for a dashpot cover, and may have a go at making a simple stainless cover for the brake fluid resivoir.
