Hi Jim, I cut the valve with an angle grinder with a 1mm blade. However sodium reacts with moisture / water so I made sure everything was...
Ok so I brushed up on my very rusty chemistry and cut open one of the exhaust valves. No major dramas. As suspected the exhaust valves are...
In reading this with interest, I don't see a sure way to identify a sodium filled valve (unless I am mistaken). I have the head off an old 365...
As Drew says - 512 BB is an inductive pickup and that some MSDs have limiters and some don't. None that I know of have a 12 cylinder limiter...
Great work - many thanks.
I am doing a 1978 RHD 308 GTB (Dry Sump). Carpets were originally Bruciato 85. Best match was the colour shown from Lakewell above, that you...
Hi Slippy, sorry don't get onto these forums as much as I would like. Have sent you a PM regarding the EFI Kit if you plan to go that route....
Sorry Joe, we didn't keep the dyno sheets. We didn't do a proper before and after either as this project evolved over about a year. Will get a...

Very nice - they do good work at Modena Eng
Thanks Motob. Most of the cars we deal with don't have oxygen sensors. We chose the black car as a test mule because it is fitted sensors and...
Thanks Melvin. Really happy with how it turned out. Might try to do one for a 400i next as they tend to suffer from similar ignition and fuel...
Pioneer KE 4300 generally the correct Stereo for a late 512BB Carb car (I have seen some variations). The 512BBi had a factory Pioneer KE 4300...
I have been asked by a couple of people for some more photos of the engine bay. These are some I have on hand. Wiring is a little tidier on the...
+1 518 works great. Apparently it is also thixotropic - which means if you step in a bucket of it it will likely pull your boot off :) Good to...
I have always done the seal when the engine is out of the car John. Does anyone know if there is enough room for the shift rod to come out so...
I just use Permatex Grey on a nice clean surface. Not too much as you don't want it in your travelling around in your gearbox. If you are really...
Hi Joe, sorry if it sounds like a heavy sales pitch - I can see how it might. Just being enthusiastic really - we put a lot of work into this and...
Similar car to the "Mule" White Testarossa used for comparison testing with Upgraded EFI Car. These cars sound pretty awesome on the dyno. White...
