PI thoughts

Had a trip up to the Black Country today to see a man about a full petrol injection (PI) kit for me to fit onto the GT6, whilst I was there I was taken for a ride in his 2.5 PI spitfire.

Great thrill even in the passenger seat, the only trouble is when your eyes start watering due to the flow of cold air. to see mopre about his car have a look here http://www.supersix.50megs.com/

With the PI kit back in overcast Wales, work started on removing the twin Stromberg carbs and inlet manifold, so a trial fit of the throttle bodies could be made. Not unsurprisingly more modifications to the bulkhead are going to be required to fit in the rear most pair of throttle bodies, oh well a bit more measuring up and it will be time to start the Nuffield and haul the engine out again.

On the other side of the engine, a metering and fuel control unit have to be fitted, these drive off the camshaft at the same point as the distributor. Beacuse of the space required by the metering unit, bulkhead modifications are going to be required on this side also, probably along with the starter solenoid and fuse box being moved inside the car to give more space for the metering unit and its associated pipes.
