Hello!
My name is Scott Beavis and I've been a regular on the mini and MG lists over
the years. I used to own a 1978 MGBGT, but had to sell it in summer 2003. I
also had a rally mini which I had to sell last year after 10 long enjoyable
years of ownership. Got a Mazda MX-5 now, it's great! Fast AND reliable! ;-)
ok, ok, I'll wash my mouth out!
The reason for me subscribing to this list is I'm on the scrounge for
infomation. I am the author of WinSU, the world famous carburettor needle
software, which some of you probably use. I have just released version 2 which
is much bigger and better.
Check out the software at http://www.winsu.co.uk
At present it supports minis, MGBs/Midgets, and has a 'generic' engine type
which covers most other engines from 500cc-6L.
What would be useful is some examples of standard and modified engine specs,
with bhp and the needle code you running. WinSU seems to suggest the correct
needle for the standard engines I've tried (Jag, Triumph, AstonMartin, etc) but
I have very little real life data for modified classic cars (other than Minis).
If any one can help I'd be very grateful.
cheers
Scott
