Matt your passenger seat base would be ok for me for my drivers seat.
Fancy doing a deal when you replace your seat covers?

You can have it mate if you think it will be ok. No deal necessary

All my carbs synced to 200mm of vacuum. The gauge's say that normal is 500 but how can I adjust them to that, or do I need to?

Mine is in a red area saying "late valve timing or leak at intake manifold or heat riser"

If I get it to 400 it will be at "late ignition timing"

Also need to find another inch of throttle from somewhere...
