Hi,

Frank Kleinig is my hero-freak! One of the jets (or venturis.. something like that) had fallen off and the gaskets were leaking and were rock hard. THe floats were shot and the engine used to splutter before 4000 rpm.

Now, however, it spins up to the redline without a problem. No stuttering, no missing... just smooth power all the way. She doesn't ping anymore and I can drive at 50k in 5th gear without a problem - used to only do that in 3rd gear!

Compression is perfect across all cylinders.

He also did plugs, points and timing. The dyno curve looks very nice. I'm gonna frame it Smile It's now got a billion hp at a trillion rpm! Very Happy

I love it! The car is so much more drivable now - it's like a new one. Can't wait to get the suspension and steering all done and that should make her hold the road like a fly on dog shit. Can't wait.

The new wheels will look smashing, along with some nice, fat lo-profile tyres.

The gearbox is my next thing. The diff is fine, but I'm gonna get it checked anyway. When that's all done I've only got to a little bit of internal trim to get fixed and new sound system put in. A dent fixed and a full respray and she'll be complete.

Hey, you know the clock in the TA22 has that little black knob on it to adjust the time. I need one, and the little screw that attaches it. Know of any?
