I have renovated 3840 since 2013 when I bought it from "Gullwing" in New York!!!
I haven't the skills to tune an engine properly but with help from Mr Drew bought a new 600 Holley carb and never looked back, it ran much better than the old Autolite did, and I thought it was a whizz machine.
This week I invaded the pension fund and found a dyno operated by a man who specialises in American racing engines.
A good bloke who after a lot of minor improvements told me that my Holley wasn't opening the secondaries. (?)
I altered the accelerator geometry and got full carb openings when foot to the floor.
went on a road test and literally scared myself, in that the car was now so Fast.
my little road test took me to 120 mph, when I chickened out, how you lads cope with much more ?? tell me please.
I am 71 now and do believe I am past it, the switch has been pushed like tiger woods when its gone its nowhere to be seen.
I do love the car but wonder if it should go to a much younger Pilot?
