Another Instruction Booklet

Meadow I have been tinkering with my Holley (465 CFM) which has a tendency to run a bit lean. Often running rich (or lean) is a symptom of an improper fuel (float) level. See the attached instruction booklet from the Holley website. These instructions are different than the ones previously posted an...

Awesome

The video of the parade lap is truly priceless. Those have to be some really happy Sunbeam owners.

Graham Very interesting information which helps me make sense of those early production numbers. Norm Miller informed me that my Tiger was actually the 22nd Tiger produced and this now makes sense since the ID number of my Tiger (0033) minus the number of the first production Tiger (0011) equals 22....

According to Norm Miller it was actually the 22nd Tiger off the line. I would be very interested in hearing about other Tigers produced in the first couple of mont...

As a very early model, it has a Borg Warner T-10 gearbox and a black dash. It is Carnival Red and underwent a rotisserie restoration back in 2000-03 by the previ...
