cheers guys weekend job, when i can get to it either that or pick up my leads at lunch and do it at work lol, quick query while im at it, will an f5a run off f8b parts ? like using a distributor and everything for an f8b, or will it run like crap ? either way it would be an improvement

will those Cyberdyne guages adapt easily enough into a MB for a full cluster ?

ok so my old man thinks ignition, getting new plugs and leads tomorrow, had to order the leads in lol. any technical info I need on the distributor ? like gaps or anything gonna give it a cleanup while im at it

Thinking it might be a fuel issue, gonna get into it after work this arvo

yea trying to not have the alternative

Cheers again Tez i'll give it all a good lookin over when my old mans home to help he knows more than me

Well that made it start easier didn't keep running without pulling the choke back out (full choke and sit on the go pedal a little bit), almost like it revs to low and just drops out, but started fine when I got to work after it had warmed up

cheers Tez, next start ill give that a go can't learn without asking the right people

cheers guys, ill look for it just to hopefully confirm the thoughts, first start this morning choke to the max, turn key, eh eh eh eh eh eh floor the go pedal it fires, have to keep choke out for about a minute otherwise it just stalls, hope this confirms the thought so far

Cheers mate had that happen before lol, different car thank god

nah i wanna stick to good brands, MB is only n/a so i dont need to much i wouldnt think, i was thinking maybe tacho, replace the original gauges and build a custom dash with a gps speedo seems its out anyways, just wandering what else should be added, any other temp or pressure gauges ? :D (just for...

what are the ideal guages to have to keep an eye on everything ?? need to buy a tacho and figured i may as well get whatever else i need while i'm at it.

Hey I'm Beau i have a bright green boy still with the F5A 4 speed, even has the original seats still :D Trying to make a little rocket out of it for some fun messing with the big cars, i work as a computer nerd saying have you tried turning it off and back on again. such an easy job lol, also learni...

ok so now in QLD you take the weight of your car and multiply by 5 for n/a and 3 for forced
on this basis, MB at 550 for n/a means rotary, how difficult would this be in theory ?
