Re: harvs ek 327 wagon
Carb replaced... ran better, but still not running right. Turns out the MSD dizzy had corroded, and the advance had become sticky. Timing all over the place at times, fine at others. Dizzy pulled, overhauled and back in. New carb dynoed.
After a frustrating few months chasing it, nice to have it running right again. Off to Eastern Creek last week and leaned on it. Photo's from WSID's website.
Cheers,
Harv

13.6@103mph. A little off the pace (13.2), but it had nearly 100kg of extra fuel-and-passenger ballast.

Out at The Creek last Wednesday. First run was a bit ambitious (red lit ) but remaining runs went well.

Drove it home and stopped at some lights. The exhaust note changed, and all my bogan dreams appeared to have come true... sounded like the small block had found 100 cubes and became a big block.
Careful examination the next day found one exhaust pipe had disconnected at the muffler. Drove it so hard I blew the exhaust off it*
Cheers,
Harv

No excuses. It's only going to be about 413km from Greystanes, with a $10.43 toll.
