Right hand gauge seems to be a boost gauge?
More details please.

[Yellow491]

No boost gauge,thats for turbo things!second tacho for second spark.
Same car as 2016 hillclimb films below,just new gearbox;)

looks sharp

[911hillclimber]

Yellow, yes, bit tongue in cheek, but never seen that before.

[Yellow491]

Its a easy way to see both banks of spark are working.
Have the rev limiter sorted now,it was coming in at 7500 for some reason:)
Looking forward to loton in a couple of weeks,hopefully sharper phil.

Ever so slightly sharp!!!! Starting with unknown (massive! ) radial Avons all round, untried sequential gearbox, lightweight clutch and flywheel on Saturday morning, he improved all week-end to take the class, in front of much more modern, and (slightly??) more powerful opposition.

Well Done!

Thanks JW,your help and inspiration all those years ago taught me a thing or two.
I remember turning up at a damp cornbury park looked at the cars,yours,macmaths,roberts etc,in my sparkling restored 2.7 carrera,thinking this will be easy,how wrong i was,and spun off into the the farm yard gate backwards.

I have put two wider 20mm rear outer rims on the car,i had left from my 74rsrs conversion,the tyres look a lot better now.
I wonder if the yellow vauxhall is with in sites,1 second off last year!
