on the other hand you could find some nice webers on ebay for about $500 and have a cam ground for $120 and perhaps find a electronic dizzy from $150-$550 the you might be able to make 120hp at the flywheel, things can get carried away when your looking for more and more power!

alrighty folks I have just listed it on ebay if anyone is interested

If you just have a weber carb on an A15 then you could get away with a 2 inch system but if you plan to fit a big cam and some sidedraughts you would want either a 2 1/4 system or even a 2 1/2 inch system since the A series engines love to breathe well, extractors are a good upgrade you could find a second hand set on ebay easily or buy a set from jeff taylor or ferrol errol at datrats

alrighty I have advertised on ozdat but am waiting for the add to be accepted and I advertised on datnet here http://www.datnet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6846

when I spoke to craig about this motor he said it makes over 100hp per litre of displacement which is pretty good in anyones sense and I believe the engine could rev to 9000rpm but I was only planning to rev it to 8000rpm if I installed it just to give my self a buffer in case I missed a gear

I am really regretting having to do this now that I finally finished the engine, but I injured my leg pretty badly and have decided to pack up and go traveling around Australia for a while with my family

Hey all I have been searching around trying to find out what the correct oil filter is to use on my A15, I was told to use a Z145a filter but it is too big?, also what is the firing order for the engine? I am assuming the engine rotates clockwise which would also mean the distributor rotates clockwise too? and the cylinder numbers are counting from one to four firewall to grille?

Did Jeff Taylor used to race sidecars? My local auto parts shop attendant says if it is him then he knew him very well in the early days! funny if it turns out that it is him!
