Sitting pretty, ish, need to tune the front pack to lower it a bit,

With the introduction of fuel injection it became apparent that the underdrive gilmer drive pulleys weren't charging enough to run the system at idle, so back to standard crank and water pump pulleys and v belts all round,

Short (old) vs long (new) waterpump

Sky Chromoly straight and short pitman arm, very nice bit of kit,

 

[Alex gee]

Nitro rear Chromoly Shafts,

Vee belts on and a solid 13.8 volts at idle,

Just enough room on the hydro pumps,
