So then, here are the results from today's dyno run. Very pleased.....





That's 164 bhp and 147.5 at the wheels. So the whp is much higher than expected I hear folk cry. He did the test in 2nd as that's the only one he could do the test in. He did say there's probably some kit that u could use to be able to do it in fourth to get a more accurate whp. However if he was able to do it in fourth then the whp would come down as expected.

He was an experienced older chap and he was happy for me to chat to him. I even asked him why mine was at 164 and not 167 😂 But he satisfied my curiosity.

So in conclusion it appears the old girl is still as powerful as when she rolled off the production line. Very happy.

Good news , they are without doubt excellent vehicles.

Most modern cars don't seem to loose performance with age. Some actually have more power and torque after forty of fifty thousand miles than when they rolled off the production line.

Old cars with carbs (that would wear)contact breakers (that would go out of adjustment)

The 'timing' on many of my old cars was often way out after a few thousand miles.

And looking at the first picture, it should achieve 62 mph for that test
