I'd like to thank everyone for their input.
I took all the info onboard and as I said in my previous post had a big day yesterday and finished it off today.
Whatever the problem was (and I suspect it was a little swarf in the carby) plus minor little details like ignition low voltage wires not quite tight
enough on the spade terminals, fuel pressure, distributor choice, etc. The problem seems to have been resolved and now needs the help of a dyno to
fine tune the whole deal.
Rod Penrose sent me a new carby yesterday afternoon at 4pm by express post and it arrived at 9.30am this morning with a selection of jets. On the
phone he has urged me to keep the carby for as long as I think it needs to be here and return any unused jets. He did not ask for any payment for any
of this extra service and items.
Now that's old fashioned service.
The car on this mornings test run, went like a rocket. Up a hill that I have tested on many times and the best yet was 80kph and steady with the
ICT's, with these RPR IDF's 80KPH and still accelerating, backed off. (Speed limit)
Cheers

Glad you sorted out the gremlins, however we still don't know your engine combo, it must be top secret.
Baz, you wouldn't know an engine combo if it kicked you in the ass

CVP Light flywheel
CBP Ultra light cam followers
Eagle Bracket Cam 276Degree Duration Lift at cam .380" At rockers with 1:1 ratio = .417"
CBP 1.25:1 Ratio rockers - solid shaft
CBP Super H Race Rods 5.4"
MST Serpentine Belt system
MOFOCO 040 Super Street Heads Port and Polished
RPR Hideaway Exhaust System
All engine components fully balanced.
Now running RPR IDF 40mm IDF Carbs with 094 Distributor.

Well done landfall. Just goes to show when you modify something, it usually snowballs. It's great to see all the help on here and that RP stood
behind his products

Thx landfall, i'm a sucker for technical specs. Power, reliability, driveability are all dependant on a working ENGINE COMBINATION. Vague engine
specs mean nothing especially when trying to diagnose problems via social media, that's why the more information you provide, the more people are
able to help out. Trust me all of the ones in the know have had massive head scratching moments, it's one of the ways to learn. Your cam looks like
W100 so you should be getting good airspeed and bottom end torque with stock valved 040s unless you had the intakes polished otherwise a slight to
moderate stumble may be present as it allows the fuel to fall out of suspension. Once again, im glad it got worked out, enjoy your dub.

Slight stumble? This I still have under certain conditions.
I assumed that this can be tuned out, I did port the intake manifolds to match the head work and get some of the bumps out of the casting.
Am going to do more fine tuning today, but I can live with it if necessary because it does go as I expected it to do.
I must admit I too like specs and research. The engine specs were thoroughly talked over with CBP and MOFOCO. At the time I did not want to go big,
but now wish I had.

How big are you wishing now? I ask as I still haven't built my 1776 and am agonising over a stroker crank.

Minimum 1916 but probably 2110cc. Torque is the answer IMO.

All you have to do is ask me, no use asking "Hi guys" because they haven't a clue either.
