Got a bunch of parts at the engineers, heat treatment and other.
I have much to do but I feel a little flat so I've taken the day off.

I had Les Groves from Uniclips over for a visit on Saturday morning.
He's sponsoring all the hose clamps on the car. The products are top quality
just like the gentleman who supplies them. Thanks so much Les. You made my day!!!!. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

The liner takes quite a few clamps BTW!. :-D

I have to build a jig to lift the liner into the truck trailer (Still don't know the bed height).
I was thinking of welding threaded bushings into the chassis at strategic points but got to thinking
once the car is inside the trailer How am I going to hook it up to the container. Do I weld bushings into the chassis along the flanks
at 3 points per side?. Any ideas/soulutions will really help.
I had car tow hooks in mind for locating points. :cheers:

    We always support our chassis in the middle to avoid having two halves of a car when we arrive or worse yet, on the Salt.

What are the chances of having a crank trigger wheel flow jet cut?. I can't find one for a 351C anywhere.
Everything available is for Windsor motors. Thanks. :cheers:

On the Nissans I bought two trigger wheels that were not bored and drilled to fit anything. Jack and I each mounted one on an engine. I mounted mine to the rear of the damper hub. Jack put his forward. Mostly just turning a locating diameter on the hub and trigger wheel. Drill and tap a few holes and it's done.

Tough question. I wish I knew?. I'll ask the turbo guy but I think reluctor!.
There's a company here that sells universal crank trigger wheels but getting a reply from them is impossible.
Let me do some investigating and I'll know by tomorrow.
Thank for the answers guys. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

When I bought mine, which one depended on the size of the damper. Several different diameters available.

Life is an abrasive. Whether you get ground away or polished to a shine depends on what you are made of.

I use a ATI Super Damper (7,4" OD) looks like using a ruler. How much larger should the crank wheel be and what thickness?.
How many teeth because I found some pretty good diagrams on Google. I'm working blind here but
as always with the help and advice I should get a nice part made. Thanks all. :cheers:

Last I heard you were going to get an Electromotive crank trigger ignition. What did you end up with? If you do have an Electromotive unit, why not use a wheel from them?It really doesn't make any difference what engine you have. You just need to mount the wheel and sender.

The experts at Electromotive figured my system wasn't compatable for some reason.
Going with Fueltech. Rich I have no knowledge of all this ECU/EFI stuff but I suppose I need to check with my turbo/engine
management guys. I think there was a problem with the Bosch stuff vs Electromotive but could be wrong. :dhorse:
