Paul:
I just took a look at your site to see if you had recorded the wiring harness up grade. Not sure if you did.
While I was there, I noticed that you had visited the dyno. Did you ever get your AFR corrected? What did your car produce for HP? I am at 118 HP at 5200 with the torque at 120 ftlbs. running very rich. At 2600 I go to WOT and the AFR drops to 11.0. At 3000 RPM the AFR goes to 11.5 and slowly improves to 12.25. That is very rich. I did not do a cruising read but my gas mileage is excellent and the plugs read very nice. If I were to do this again, I would get the SU’s just because there is very little performance difference in the carbs but the SUs have a ton of affordable needles to tune with. Not so with the Zs.
Did not intend on bending the thread. We can talk about this someplace else.

Al,
I have the Masters upgraded wiring harness & relay pack for the headlamps, as well as the Spal harness and relay package for the fan.
I did not get enough miles on the engine prior to the accident to get the dyno tests run. What you saw there was old stuff.
And yes, my A/F seems to be fine now, but the dyno will tell next spring.

Al, as far as the alternator is concerned 3yrs ago I replaced the factory lucas with a Delco 100 amp polished unit and reinforced the wiring with an additional HD marine cable all the way to the battery, by leaving the original cable running thru the ammeter it reads in the middle all the time, I did this because I once had an A/C unit that I installed with the help of a friend who knew what he was doing and after a few performance upgrades I removed it, also used the headlight wiring upgrade from VB along with Hela headlights and it's a pleasure to drive it at night.
