E Type Jag Install

[GT6Steve]

A local friend is producing a beautifully engineered kit to convert the E Types to EDIS. I'm proud to say I've been involved in the AC fitted version of the trials. It was a fully developed kit for the standard model but we've jumped thru hoops for the AC cars. Nonetheless, we finished it this morning and was immediately rewarded with a rock stable 600 RPM idle. The car seemed to pull smoothly all the way past the redline to 5500. I'm totally chuffed. To celebrate, I loaded the bride into the car and went to the pub where I talked it up mightily, so pleased....You get it right? Came out to the 100 degree F afternoon sun, loaded the bride onto the hot leather seats and.......Nothing. Of course. Took Pat back into the pub and then tweaked and twisted wires to no avail. I THINK! there's a problem at the white wire connection to the coilpack but I had no tools beyond a toothpick. So now the tow truck has brought it back home and we will start diagnostics.... BUT DAMN IT WAS RUNNING NICE!!!!

BTW, all of the pics of the sensor with no securing bolts were the first iteration. Second iteration moved the sensor upward a few inches to avoid the crossmember, It's a work in progress as Ray wants a perfect bolt in kit for every car.

 

The 3.8S Type is next....

I really like the last picture of the install, does that come as part of the kit?

Yes tis a marked change especially if the old gear is worn a bit. Can open the plug gaps to 1mm also to make the best of the bigger spark.

_{Indeed Pete, she's into macro photography at the moment... I prefer pretty girls on bikes for some reason. Can't think why...}
