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.

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

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

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*

* Disclaimer: there is a high likelihood that my shoddy workmanship let the bolts go loose. Don't tell anyone though... I like the "blew the exhaust off it story"
