FW: Super 6 max Speed
Thank you Evo, Geoff, Jack and Karl.
Have done all that you advised and now can get to 58 mph (showing on the satellite navigator borrowed to check the speedo).
The fuel level in the float chamber was perhaps a bit low.
The ignition timing I had set exactly as per the book, but I then advanced it by about 5 degrees
I could find nothing wrong otherwise
The acceleration seems quite good, but the car is still not too good on hills.
Maybe I'm expecting too much, especially as I've got the hood up, which cannot help the top speed on the flat.
Have still got the original 2'' diameter pipe running from the top of the choke chamber across the top of the block and down into the outer vent of the exhaust manifold,
and wonder, with modern fuels, whether this is inhibiting the power in anyway.
Robert
