| - 3 - Ha/Lov.{Mr Lovesey}2/T.12.3.31.cont. making our tests with a std. autovac using larger feed pipes, larger petrol tap and bored out float chamber needle valves in order to get sufficient flow under the low gravity head. Even then the low gravity head is not sufficient with the car climbing a steep hill. We have on hand an A.C. fuel pump which we propose to fit up on the car to carry out tests with the new twin carb-uretters. Ha/Lov.{Mr Lovesey} | ||
