It is tempting. Whether PAL is back on the road in November, January or April next year doesn't make much difference.

I'm an efi guy.

Why people stick with carbs i don't know why.

Oops i'm a poet.

I'm at a point where I either need to buy a second DCOE or go EFI, so the perfect time to change over.

 

I'm not sure whether to go with DCIE style throttle bodies or adapt something from a motorbike.

Flexibility/driveability is something I like with Efi not so much the peak power improvement as how often do you get peak power.

I rather enjoyed that. Definitely some good ideas, like bolting the coil packs to the side of the rocker cover.

Very true, other than pootling down the strip and at the rolling road PAL's never at full power. Often at WOT, but never full power.

I think it's the way to go, especially while the engine is out so I can fit timing wheels etc.

... and speaking of timing wheels:

 

A pair of DOHC pulleys:

A timing wheel I had lying around in my spares box. This fits very nicely on the lip turned by Ford at the factory, so a definite possibility. Probably best fitted by weld, which isn't known for being 'adjustable' later.

The timing wheel borrowed from the twin pulley from Turbosport. This would need me to drill the pulley and bolt it on with some spacers. All possible and would be adjustable.

2nd would be better as you say would allow some fine tuning.

I've had a generous offer to help get a custom trigger wheel laser cut, so I spent some time tonight doing some CAD work:

My drawing looks like a child's scribble compared to the drawing Pete-H has done for me. I'll share it once it's complete and get go-ahead to post it.
