Hi Andy,

The air filter you are after is the K&N filter with number: E-2859.
I have this filter on my own Tiger so there is no doubt about it.

Hi meadowhog, sorry that I did not check the link you provided first. It is indeed a splendid article! If you want to buy a kit why not contact Tom as I did and buy the kit from him? The costs are included P&P something like 6 or 7 GBP. The advantage of buying from Tom is also that he replaces in th...

I forgot to mention that I have used in years the Fram 2874 too just like Tomasseli is doing, but....in that case I used a different adaptor. With that adaptor the oilfilter is not pointing down but sidewards therefore it is in this case not possible to use the bigger Fram oilfilter I am using now. ...

Hi Mal,

Yes the filter is pointing down. My Tiger has a standard 289 ci engine.
I overlooked that you have headers on your engine. Sorry about the confusion!

Regarding the two types of oil seals: it is possible to use both seals. Originally the seal was a rope seal and a sharp pin was centered in the seal groove in the rear main cap. This was done to prevent the roap seal from rotating. If you want to use a spit-lip-seal the pin has to come out and you h...

Both crankshafts are the same as is confirmed in the parts list concerning Tiger Mark 1 and Tiger Mark 2. It is about the only thing in both engines that are the same. For more details check the book "Mustang & Ford Small Block V8" from the author Bob Mannel.

To start with adjusting the fuel mixture on a fixted venturi carburetor only set's the mixture at idle, as soon as you move the throtle the mixture is down to jet size and air flow. The CO% on idle should be about 1.5% +/- .5%. If you have a four gas emission tester as used in all UK MOT stations, ...

I've fitted a wide band lamda sensor in the exhaust & have a full time air/fuel ratio meter in the dash. It gives continuos reading on mixture under real driving conditions. Ideal for setting carb up correctly. Maybe over the top for a standard car though. Hi Bigbob, Thanks for your reply. And yes....
