But high compression also tends to increase the chances of pre-ignition, and can even cause it directly (as in a diesel). Detonation also tends to lead to pre-ignition. Since in practice it's very d

That's too bad, John. I thought you were going to explain the fine details to us, like exactly what rate of rise is considered detonation; and whether simultaneous ignition at the plug and at a hot

Depends an awful lot on what you plan to do with the car. On the street, I don't think you'll see enough benefit to even notice, let alone offset the price of alloy calipers. On the track, I don't k

Just a WAG, but since TRF's price seems to be in line with other UK vendors, I'd guess they're getting them from the UK and that's what they cost. That "other store" is probably getting them from th

Should be needed only under heavy throttle, when detonation is a problem. Guess I still don't see that much of a problem. Power falls off pretty slowly as the mixture goes too rich; so it seems to m

That would be a late TR3A, completed by the factory in late 1960 (but very likely sold as a 1961 model). TR3B have a different prefix, either TSF or TCF, and were only built in 1962. Randall CONFIDE

I kind of doubt that's the problem, since Majordomo generally processes commands until it fails. But, if it is the problem, the solution is to put the word 'end' (without the quotes) on the line aft

I've heard the same thing from other people ... basically many regulators don't work well with very low pressure drops across the regulator. So IMO, you should either use a pump that produces the pr

Definitely important to get the right regulator. Right. It's advertised for 4.5 - 9 psi. For a SU, ZS or Weber carb, you want the 1-4 psi version. Since the Holley "blue" pump puts out nearly 14 psi

That sounds right to me, Cosmo. Another way to look at it : moving the jet higher in the carb body will lean out the mixture, so you are screwing the nut onto it's threads for leaner; unscrewing it
