How are you getting on?

I'm on the bones of my butt, still reeling from the cost of advertising, running and getting enough market share for my self funded business, and so not being able to afford all my mechanical mods just yet. I've got some help, but its very awkward.

My Rochester 2 jet carb mods, to improve fuel distribution and to be able to jet down the engine enough to run very lean in each cylinder, with good chamber filling, are still underway.

My running total fuel consumptions remains the typical 15 mpg I have been getting for the past 2 and a half years, similar to what they used to get in the 80's when these 3.3 liters were new.
