Excellent.

The problem was the airflow meter... too much fuel flooding the plugs to the point that the sun was needed to evaporate the excess fuel. The meter said more fuel, the engine said wohhhhh.

It had reached the point that flames were regularly seen shooting out of the back end (some would say cool - and they did, but the smell of fuel was rather disconcerting).

After a computer link up it was discovered that there were 4 earth leakages, which simply compounded any starting problem.

Now the car runs like a modern day V8 and is totally in sinc with the auto box.

Hat's off to Paul Geary (he has a pretty mean looking Pontiac Sedan Racer too).

Hey by the way, did you model your scoop off Carol Shelby's personal Cobra? - will post a pic sometime.
