Hi all,

I'm keen to get the old grey motor humming a bit more than she is. What kind of performance gear is out there, and what do people recommend would be some good additions? Are there any stockists, or am I going to have to run around swap meets earlier than you blokes?

Currently have extractors, single strommy, some sort of aftermarket cam with unknown specs and a new exhaust system.

Thanks.

Jarrod.

(Engine swap is out of the question at the moment due to lack of funding approval for a V8 from the Minister for War and Finance.)

Jarrod, I have a full set of Speco, Rocker cover, Tripple stromberg manifold with carbs, Headers with header pipes. Or Tripple SU's on a lynx manifold and they are just some of the hop-up gear for the mighty grey. I'd love a Norman, and repco cross-flow head, but there aren't enough carnivorous chickens.
Send me a PM.

Also look into getting some form of electronic ignition. Somoeone on here mentioned you can get them for greys just can't remember who....

Best thing I ever did was fit one to my red.

Jarrod,

Sounds like you're on the way as far as your grey goes, but you're still at least one carb short!

For economy and performance the twin carb kit works well - they come up on ebay regularly (or you can join the swap meet brigade and get up early...). I bought mine as a plain manifold and spent around $300 total to get the kit sorted with new gaskets, fuel fittings and linkages.

Twin carb kit on ebay atm

pertronics for a points replacement

or scorcher for a high energy set up

the pertronics is a cheaper option than scorcher depends what you are after if you can afford it some mild head work to make the cam carbys and extractors work together
