Hi Doc. Do you have air/fuel meter mounted in dash Or do you have a bung and use it when required?


I put the meter in a Jaycar plastic box, and mounted the sensor in a bit of 1" tube which clamps into the tailpipe. Copied off the one GR uses on his dyno.
I've now wired the 12V with both alligator clips and a cig lighter plug, so I can even run it on my Jeep.
I didn't dash mount the unit, IMO once the mixture has been sorted out it's about as useful there as a vacuum gauge... :lol:

Only down side to the tailpipe sniffer is it's useless at idle. But I hear if you shove some copper tube in it to reach up into the muffler, it'll work OK.

Put 170 mains in the weber today and the flat spot is now gone. :D

Originally I thought my flat spot was just a dizzy advance problem so I bought a dial back timing light.
In the end I had to -
Replace the blown GT40 coil with a GT40R style and put a ballast resistor in for the elec ignition. The Crane Cams people recommended the Fireball XR700 run a ballast resistor setup. Apparently these modules don't like 12v.
Changed the dizzy curve by removing a spring.
Tweeked up the weber to suit my engine.

Goes great now, Thanks everyone for the input.
