Hi all - especially those with experience with the dreaded above system.

HELPPPPP.

One got dropped "in my lap" by a club member as a "loaner"  (he got sick of
spending cubic pounds of money to get it working on his TR 250)  and went
back to SU's.

My lucky (?!?) GT 6 + with ten point something head and a Kastner S4
factory race cam should be absolutely wild if I can et the fire to light.
However...


-  the front pair won't clear the bonnet unless I drop the motor,  raise
the bonnet,  or mod the housing.

-  the fuel distributor unit does not clear the bulkhead and the bellcrank
for the throttle.

-  all the regulat problems associated with said injection.

Anyone with any experience at all in this regard (if any of you did Webers
that may be helpful too - the 'other choice' if this doesn't work)  please
contact me with encouragement.  I don't think I could stand horror stories
right now.

Direct mail is dterrick@pangea.ca.  The list might like to know if it's an
interesting one too.

Dave (boy this is getting silly) Terrick

PS:  any comments on tranny and diff swaps?  150 bhp through a GT box is
unlikely to outlive the Visa patments for the parts.  My thoughts include a
cpte 280Z diff/shaft/tranny.
