[QUOTE="Upstreeter, post: 19835, member: 882"] I have such a device. My Comet engine was built by the late Ian Hamilton and goes like stink. Remember his ad 'give your Comet the performance of a Rapide'? I would think your best bet would be the Terry Prince route. The build sheets on my engine are so comprehensive and prove that hardly anything is 'regular' at all...so some interchangeable parts would be good! It also had a propensity for burning JE pistons at 100 squids a throw. We discovered eventually that a valve just 'kissed' the edge of said piston which caused a hairline crack to develop with inevitable results...all occured at the good old Montlhery events of yore. Although road registered I don't run lights so the alternator business doesn't apply. Norman's stuff works very well I believe. [/QUOTE]
