Hello,
How to set up here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=najLc9GlLJ0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
All parts available..
Empi cheapo kit.is not too bad..comes with cardboard gauge and good diagram.
For better needles and jets Look up 'Gower and Lee'..
On song.. in not too heavy a van you should get 21-24 mpg..4200 rpm..70 bhp.
Get the brakes overhauled and nice tyres fitted before looking for more power..
Hope this helps..
Cordialement..
