Sounds great looks like a diode has gone in the alternator causing it to come back on, I had the same thing happen with two Cortinas although I'm sure since this video was uploaded its been fixed now lol
@@Alim_usta the pinto was not standard in the mk1, it came in the mk2, but in a mk2 with a 2.0 pinto and the right gearing a transit could do 100mph but the pinto would be working harder than the essex, the essex does it easy.
Sound is very good, and wich black coils are used on this lovely Guzzi, my Guzzi is a 850 LeMans 2 1980 and I search for new coils and nothing good find ?
That did sound good for a first start. No doubt the care you took to oil the valve drivetrain generously all helped, well done! Do you still have it and if so, have you done much else?
yes still have it, use it regularly, swapped the exhaust system for stainless and fitted stainless conti replica silencers, also fitted and tuned mk1 lemans carbs and manifolds, dellorto phf36s, and a quick action single cable twist grip with a splitter under the tank. goes very well now. though i have a v11 sport motor lined up for it which should make it go even better!
@@odysseusdrakos2008 clever boy. they don't even have teeth, I think. but they have a habit of emptying their bowels on you if handled - and losing their tails if frightened, so gently gently (o:
i need 3.0 v6 transit specs. could you possibly send me a picture of the register extract? it is enough for me that it shows the brand, model, power and weight. I have a 2.4 diesel engine in my mk1 transit and I would like to replace it with a more efficient gasoline engine. That's why I need the technical data of the most powerful version of the model series, so that I can get it street legal
The most powerful standard transits were supplied by ford with the essex V6 for use as ambulances here in the uk. We do not have "register extracts" here in the uk. All our reg docs have is engine and chassis numbers
I’ve got a no choke Holley double pumper on my 5.0 and I have trouble keeping the engine from stalling when starting but once it gets a some temperature it’s smooth.
not quite, the standard 4160 (8007) has vacuum secondaries and only accelerator pump on primaries, this is a genuine double pumper with mechanical secondaries.
was a capri 3.0s motor with skimmed heads and a weber 38dgas carb with all choke parts removed for better flow and a pair of 3 into 1 header pipes going into a short home made side exit exhaust system.
Seeing the moving engine parts is just so cool! Have you done a lot of miles on it? Has it been reliable? I've heard of a lot of electrical problems on them, did you also experience those?
it wouldn't have mattered what the music was at 5am, it could have been elvis, or led zep or red hot chilli peppers or white stripes or muddy waters or johnny cash or tom grennan or reef... could have been absolutely anyone i like and it would have had me fuming at 5am!
got most of what i need to build a nice bike around the motor, only thing i don't have is a really good swing arm, i'd like something that can take a wide tyre, at least 160/60x17, and preferably a floating drive box, so magni, radical or home made, but that will be slow and expensive, i might try a cali 1100ev one for the short term .
