I read the on-line copy and I wouldn't pay a dime for the real one.
I found nothing in it that wasn't in Kas's stuff, and in fact I think it
pre-dates
Kas's manual, but I'm not sure.
I have a great deal of respect for Vizard's book on tuning the BMC A
engine, however (Sprite, Mini, etc). He has done a million dyno runs and
flowbench
runs to study the results of lots of head and manifold stuff. Doesn't apply
directly to TR's but one can learn from it nevertheless.
I did have one bad experience with it, however. I prepared a set of SU's
modified per his book for maximum flow. What he did not say, however, was
what you had to do to make the carbs actually flow fuel as well, leading me to
believe that maybe he made all those modifications, ran all those flow bench
runs, but never ran the carbs on an engine or dyno. Attempts to reach him
failed, as I was told (honest to God) that he was in the process of moving to
Tasmania.
