Absolutely not.
Webcon state that it comes jetted for a 'generic' Chebby application which should get the engine going and then I need a 500bhp rolling road on the South Coast / south of the M4 that has excellent Weber skills. Any recommendations?

Surrey Rolling Road ? iv'e never been there but it's a name that gets used a lot. full throttle can be done in less than an hour. light throttle, progression and drivabality could take a couple of days to get right.
the rolling road i used to use is no longer around but that was only good for 300bhp anyway.

Any recommendations? I can only recomend Peter Baldwin at Wilsher Garages in Cambs but it's not in your prefered location - but he is good and only does carbs - none of that new fangled injection malarky ;D |

That's some serious induction porn right there. Pure eye candy for petrol heads. Your car has always sounded amazing anyway, but I simply cannot wait to hear it running these bad boys! Nice one Ian, Christmas has indeed some early for you, but with the awesome work you've been putting in this year, you more than deserve it. Please say Hi to Mrs FrankenHealey too (Vin? if I recall?? My memory is awful!!) and I wish you both a wonderful Christmas. Bruce. When i saw the pic i gave out a loud PWOAR, the missus came over and said " you looking at porn" i said yeh and showed her the pic, she called me a sad cnut and walked away  |

I might have to venture onto Pistonheads again  |

Been here before as last year I went on a rolling road day at Tipton Garage in Tipton St. John near Sidmouth. They have a 270bhp 4wd rolling road which they said would be OK for my 2wd 430(ish) bhp. We 'broke' the road twice which sounds good but only means that they had to reboot it and then they (nicely) chucked me out  So a tuning company good with Webers with a genuine 500bhp rolling road and I'm willing to travel anywhere now. More recommendations please. |

Finally the new dizzy and coil are out of customs and all the parts look to be there if badly repacked. I'm just wondering how to handle the vacuum to the MAP sensor so anybody with Weber experience please help out.   |

Tap the manifold to provide a take of point or use one of the individual throttle vacuum take offs |

you will need to use a thottle position sensor as tapping into a runner will cause pulsing. you could try a vac log and a take off from every runner but i don't think it'll work properly.
does it need to know vacume? most race engines don't bother with any vacume advance as they are usually flat out every where.

Black pipes you can see are air line pipes linked to festo fittings with the right thread size to fit into the std delorto vac pipe blanking screws  I actually did it to balance up the carbs with three vac guages but now I'm used it a bit of rubber tube is easier and faster |

if you look on the picture on the box you will see there are two types of distributor. one with vacume advance and one without. you seem to have the one without. the MAP sensor is for turbo or supercharged engines so I don't think you have to worry about it  what does it say in the instructions? i'm guessing that is a fully programmable distributor? if you don't bother with vacume advance the only thing that'll happen is you may lose a little light throttle low revs performance. a light car with a big V8 isn't really going to notice. |
