How about using the heater cable as a throttle cable in an emergency? I've seen that done, and you get cruise control as well! I've tried using the choke cable as a throttle cable once but it is a little hard to drive

Won't fit in though, if you got an S oil cooler in the usual place in a roundnose.. They are a pre-engaged starter- the integral solenoid sticks forward a bit. |

Anto. I never liked the idea of criuse control.... When the c/c is ON, where do your feet go?? On the floor away from the brake pedal?? Wouldnt that drastically reduce your braking reaction time in an emergency??? I mean, you gotta lift your foot back over the pedal first...... and in the confusion - is that the accelerator???? UH OH!!! Unsafe. And fuggen lazy too. If ya dont wanna drive, get in the passenger seat ya lazy biatch...... sorry... havin a flashback....

They are a pre-engaged starter- the integral solenoid sticks forward a bit. I'm happy with with mine. Does the oil cooler bolt onto the chassis or the block? I wonder if you could mount it further across? I spose the alternator is going to be in the way. It's a pretty simple decision in the end. If you're on the track you only need to start the car once but you want the oil at a reasonable temp. For a road car you want reliable starting but oil temp is not such an issue dewey |

mount the cooler on the chassis... less movement and vibration embarressing when the cooler breaks off and leaks everywhere |

I've tuned a few race motors with these starters- I don't think their torque is much better than a good Lucas one. Starter body hardly any bigger than Lucas... I kept the S cooler, bought a UK reco'd Lucas starter, and put a Landcruiser battery (550CCA) in..
