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. :roll:

For better needles and jets Look up 'Gower and Lee'.. :wink:

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..

:ok
